Now what?

Chicago got Drummond for 2/6.6. See that's why it's a little irritating that we had to pay 20 to get Javale.

Javel lot better and mobile.

Yeah, Javale is a much better fit for us than Drummond so I don't mind paying a bit more.

We?ll have a pretty big starting lineup if McGee starts.
In fact the shortest player currently on roster is Hardy at 6?4.
Rebounding shouldn?t be a problem this season.

Luka 6?7
THJ/SD 6?6
DFS 6?7
Wood 6?10
McGee 7?0

Bullock is a starter.

Is he $14 million dollars better? I think Drummond is the better rebounder, and probably scorer. Javele has more length and shot blocking/shot altering ability though I think.

I?d probably rather have Drummond at his price if it meant spending bigger money on a wing. Oh well Javele will have a role on this team.

Disagree - Javel is exactly center we need. Can finish. Rebound / block shots and play d. I?ll pay 6 mil a year for that no problem.

My argument was that I?d rather have Drummond at $3million over Javele at $6.6 million or whatever it is. I don?t hate the Javele signing. We needed a big that does what Javele?s skill set provides.

Yeah I can get behind him being a better fit but 14 million better? Hell no. Hell I think Drummond is a better player but McGee is a better fit.

This is pretty much exactly how I feel. McGee did get a 3 year deal vs 2 for Drummond. Javele fits out needs more than Drummond does.

Well I'll say this....McGee offers more to what the Mavs need than Drummond does. Drummond is not really a shot blocker or contester. He does rebound well. I'm really shocked by the perception of Drummond though. He's not a bad player. I get the league has gone away from centers like him but for 20 minutes a night? you can do far worse.
