JaVale McGee is the player who has won more championships among active players. He won two consecutive championships in the NBA Warriors in 2017 and 2018, and won the Lakers in 2020. Champion, by all accounts he is already a 3 crown center, and the number of championships is only one less than O'Neal. In November 2020, the Lakers traded him to the Cavaliers. Then a few days ago, the Cavaliers had begun to look for a way to trade McGee, and then we saw a basket that welcomed an injury exception after suffering a two-game losing streak. The Nets, they are now interested in capturing the three crown center!
The Cavaliers now have Andre Drummond, a big-name center with an annual salary of $28.75 million, and the Cavaliers also have Jarrett Allen, who was the starting center of the Nets before, Mai For the Cavaliers, Kee feels somewhat tasteless. If the Cavaliers can use him in exchange for some assets, it will naturally be a good thing. Then, the Nets already have the Big Three, why do they need McKenzie What about base? Octopus may wish to analyze a little bit here. Perhaps these 3 points in this article are the three reasons why the Nets are interested in getting McGee?
Rebounds
In the 2 consecutive games the Nets lost to the Cavaliers, Durant (12) was the player with the most rebounds in a single game, followed by James Harden. (10). The Nets have 2 centers. In these 2 games, Jordan scored 8 rebounds and Reggie Perry 7. Yes, you read that right. The Nets center won the rebounds. The ability is simply to pull the hips, and McGee has averaged 6.2 rebounds per game with the Cavaliers this season. McGee may not be better than Jordan and Perry, but Jordan + McGee + Perry, this can be solved to some extent For some problems, even if 1+1+1 is equal to 2.5, this would be a good operation.
Protection frame
The slow movement of Jordan will easily penetrate the Nets. Why did Durant push James Harden to the front line when he was absent? The inside can't be protected anyway, so it's better to go against it. This is a helpless choice for Steve Nash. McGee is one of the best physical athletes in the NBA.As long as he is sane and in a normal state, his ability to protect the frame can reach the top level of active duty. The Nets do not lack scoring output. What they lack is the inside line that can stop the opponent. McGee is a very good one of them. select.
cheap
Just like the Heat of the year, an NBA team has many superstars, and the salary space is often not enough. Mike's basic season salary is 4.2 million US dollars, which is for the Lakers. It’s not appropriate. The Lakers will have a better choice, but for the Nets who just got the injury exception, it’s too suitable. Consider McGee’s championship experience, frame protection, and rebounds. , Athletic ability, such a suitable and cheap center, the Nets should not find a better choice on the market.
Of course, McGee is not the kind of player who can directly determine whether the Nets win the championship. He is just a puzzle that can fill the Nets' fatal shortcomings. Whether the Nets can win the championship or not depends on Harden and Owen. , Durant's chemical reaction and the performance of the big scene. The Nets were actually quite lucky. Durant came out of the injury healthily. He didn’t look like he had suffered a serious injury. McGee had been put on the shelf before he was penetrated by the Cavaliers. , Their injury exception is coming. If the Nets can successfully win McGee, then we may be able to see the ideal Big Three combination, right?
