Sauces: Raptors, GSW, SAS and Heat offering a playoff run to Javale

[dunksby]

Talks on a deal between the Boston Celtics and free-agent center JaVale McGee fell apart when the sides couldn’t agree on control of the player’s contract option for the 2015-16 season, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

McGee visited the Celtics this week and had been inclined to sign there, only to have his agent, B.J. Armstrong, and Celtics general manager Danny Ainge become unable to move past that deal point on Thursday afternoon.
For McGee, the plan is to sign a deal that provides him with a player option on the 2015-16 season – something teams, including Boston, would prefer to be a team option. That way, if McGee plays well, teams won’t be so vulnerable to lose him this summer.

McGee had courted interest from multiple playoff contenders, including the Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks, Toronto Raptors, San Antonio Spurs, Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls, league sources told Yahoo Sports. Toronto general manager Masai Ujiri signed McGee to a $48 million extension in Denver, and remains interested in offering him an opportunity to join the Raptors for a playoff run, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Nevertheless, McGee’s insistence on holding onto his freedom for the 2015-16 season could cause some teams to resist committing to him for the rest of this year and the playoffs.
McGee could help Toronto, as long as he keeps the number of goaltendings down.

Easier to give list of teams in postseason pursuit who hadn't expressed interest in McGee, which included Cavaliers, Thunder and Clippers.

If it keeps Chuck Hayes off the floor, it's a good idea.

[lilteapot]

Does OP know how to read? I think not.

Cleveland, OKC and the Clippers are NOT interested.

You are right my bad.

[Westbrook0]

Scared the crap out of me for a second.

No problem, sorry if I came across as a dick.

Just don't want the thread to be full of posts saying "STACKED!!!"

He'd be a tangible upgrade over Hans as well.

[T_L_P]

No, no, no, no, no, no. No. No.








No.

Trying to imagine Javale in the Spurs system...

[IncarceratedBob]

Which team can't use elite post defense coupled with solid offense?

[dazzer87]

Only these teams.........im surprise there isnt more teams trying to pick him up.

You would have a point if Javale did either of those things.

A Wizards fan with an anti Javale agenda. No surprise there

[bdreason]

If Warriors land Javale, it's game over.

Lebron is though

[guy]

He's a talented player, just hasn't been around the right group of players and coaches. I suspect if he got picked up by the Warriors, Mavs, Spurs, or Bulls then he can have a significant impact.

[SCdac]

the image of Javale and old man Duncan high-fiving after a play just flashed through my mind and made me laugh a little :oldlol: ... would be interesting JM under coach Pop

[Eric Cartman]

Heat need another big to backup Wiltside + living in south beach is nice.

[Hotlantadude81]

McGee could help Toronto, as long as he keeps the number of goaltendings down.
