    McGee only makes sense if we are trading Nurk or Kanter for another player.
    Trading Kanter for McGee just to have a different backup center won't happen.
    Both have positives and negatives to their games. To just swap them out will not make us better.

    Fun Fact: Mcgee's Dad was drafted by the Blazers I think in 85 but never actually played.

    There has been so much noise about Gordon and not much about Collins. I wonder if Neil is driving up the interest in Gordon so he can go after someone else.

    McGee is ten times the defender Kanter is. What does this team need more than defense? He’s also a good rebounder in his own right. McGee has also improved his playmaking this season. He also averages more ppg/36 than Kanter. It’d be a clear upgrade.

    What if Nurk isn't coming back anytime soon?

    What happened to the tweet? I agree McGee is a better defender but Kanter is much better Overall. I'm scared as fuck if McGee is our Backup and Kanter is gone. Nurkic cant stay healthy ffs

    Clear?

    He also averages almost 6 fouls per 36 so he wouldn't be able to maintain the minutes needed to average that.

    Also averages fewer rebounds, and would take almost 4 more FG's to average 3 more points per 36.

    His ORTg and DRTg, really depends on the team he's on. Although that's a bad barometer to use, because right now Kanters ORTg is 131 and his DRTg is 114, and Javale is 104-107. So a lot of it depends on the overall defense of the team (which explains why Javales #'s were so good when he played on the Warriors and Lakers, and the rest of his career it's been meh).

    Not sure it's a clear upgrade offensively, talent wise either. Javale relies on others to get his points (alley oops, misses) far more than Kanter does (although Kanter does gobble up offensive rebounds really good too).

    Of course Neil targets a mediocre talent.

    He believes that the foundation of the team is enough to win a championship. I do not agree.

    McGee is also not a good Partner for Dame. Dame is terrible at lob Passes

    Neil has the engine of a Formula One car in a Geo Metro and he keeps tinkering with the rims.

    He’s a clear upgrade just for his ability to cover the pick and roll

    I'm not as eager as some to move Trent as I think he's going to get better but this is a deal I can get behind. Collins fits a need and Rondo is the coach we have so desperately needed for several seasons.

    I'm in. They can have a second or two as well to get it done.

    That would seem to indicate not much faith that Nurk would be back soon or Kanter going out in a trade.
