I'll be throwing up all the way to the Conf Finals next yr. McGee and Capela would be give us what we need.....sustained defensive presence in the paint
actually that's the only reason he does. he plays with 4 all stars and 2 mvps that commands a ridiculous amount of attention. he's still the exact same player. the only difference is his opportunities are coming a lot more easier now than ever. This stuff about him playing well is just a gimmick
Just like the "presence" Javale was giving Denver... Where is Festus Ezeli? You could put like 500 guys in there with the Warriors and they would look WAY better than they are. Say no to small brains. 9.6 minutes a game because he still does not understand basic defensive rotations.
he got a decent raise from Portland last year for $8mil per and didn't have to play for them. Portland just announced recently they plan to decline is 2nd year option lol. must be nice to sign and not ever actually suit up
Clint/Nene/Nanu will hold down the C spot just fine. I am FAR more concerned with the Trevor Ariza/Ryan Anderson SF/PF spots. We need upgrades in the worst way at our Forward positions. We need to get bigger, stronger and faster. Luckily for us there are a ton of decent SF/PFs available in free agency. Iguodala, Gay, Tucker, Roberson, Gibson, JJohnson, Ingles, Muhammad, Simmons, Evans, Snell, Green, Miles, Covington, Sefolosha, Beasley, Casspi. Some of those names are better than others, but I hope Morey gets in the bargain bin and finds the guy that can give us the boost we need off the bench.
Dedmon at $3-4 million per on a two-year would be fair value. It's much rather sign Udoh though. Udoh is better defensively than Dedmon and any big we have. Would love to have him. Been scouting him since last summer.
Udoh is a horrific defensive rebounder I mean Ryan Anderson level bad. And that's not something that changes. That alone means he isn't right for our team, he's a center who rebounds like Anderson. I haven't kept up with him since he left, but he was also a mediocre finisher at the rim.
Defensive rebounding doesn't change. His defensive rebounding would make him near unplayable at the center position for most teams. He would have to play next a elite rebounding bigman who can shoot like KAT/Davis/Cousins/Love etc, which we don't have. 12.5% career defensive rebounding percentage, absolutely horrific for a center. Anderson has a career average of 15%, this season he averaged 11 percent. Udoh for his career in the NBA rebounded like Anderson did this season.
@basketballholic If you don't know Carl's talking about his giant nose He's a horrific defensive rebounder, you don't learn defensive rebounding at 30 playing overseas.
An anonymous Cavs player just exposed McGee the other day saying he's not smart enough to even be playing in the Finals. The person who said it was probably a former teammate and what reason would he have to say it if it wasn't true. If it's known league wide that this guy is a knuckle head I don't think he should be a target of the Rockets.
Shaq and a Cav say it so it must be true. BH sez it, whatever, and we are certain it must be true. And DD for 3-4 mil? Not happenin' in the Nat'l Inflationary League. Today's $15m guy? Trevor Ariza. That's why he's so valuable at @1/2 that.
