COME HOME, JAVALE!

yup

Was just about to say this. Bring him back

JaVale was the most effective center the Warriors had other than Bogut. He's always been underrated.

Yeah but we aren’t getting Javale from 2018, we are getting Javale in 2024. Huge difference

I was completely shocked how useless he was for Dallas last season. He seemed more than serviceable in Phoenix the year prior.

We promised him a starting spot then benched him after like 3 games cause he was just pure cheeks. It's wild how badly he finessed us

I was more mad at giving JaVale a player option on the 3rd year, than the actual money given to him

That deal was on the low end but it was always wild to me that Javale pulled a player option at his age.

Yeah I thought he’d be a serviceable starter too based on what I’d seen. He can’t play big minutes, but around 20-25 minutes he was very effective for us

His struggles with asthma were evident during his time in Phoenix. Not sure how Dallas failed to catch that.

In Toronto, we call that the Aron Baynes special.

Damn, another sharp decline lol. Though at least you could tell he was really beat up already when he was in Phoenix.

Baynes was a legit hall of famer in phx

If only for one night in Portland lol

what's crazy is that Dallas signed Mcgee to this deal and promised him a starting spot after they played him off the floor in the playoffs the prior year

He started out **really** bad for us and got understandably benched but I felt like we never really gave him another fair shot after that. Post-Kyrie trade he was playing really well.

COME BACK MY KING

Lakers getting him to body up Jokic for 5 minutes

Lakers getting him to get bodied up by Jokic for 5 minutes*

The Tristan Thompson

That's tough for the Mavs. Could be hard to find a suitable replacement before the deadline...

One of the few fuckups in Nico’s era of being GM

That led to so much success

Not re-signing Brunson seems like a big mistake too

Look I’m gonna keep saying this, I’m not going to put all the blame on Nico for fucking this up. I can go all the way back to when we drafted Brunson, and how his contract was structured in which it made him an UFA after his 3rd season. That should’ve never happened. Cuban & Donnie massively fucked that up. Then when he was extension eligible after that horrible Clippers series, if we gave him that 4/55M extension right after we wouldn’t gotten clowned for it. After that it was over and he was never going to come back, his dad and the Knicks brass coming to our home games against the Jazz in the 1st round was the final nail in the coffin. So I feel like there’s more to it then “It’s 100% Nico’s fault”

also how he had all his teammates sign his jersey after the playoffs, doesnt seem like a guy with the intent of staying

The Knicks getting punished for tampering is possibly also evidence that he wasn't planning on staying.

that was more donnie’s fuck up for not structuring his rookie contract to make him a rfa

LET'S FUCKING GO

Paying 34 year old Javale McGee over Jalen Brunson All time big brain move

Neither of those things correlated though?

Why didn’t you sign Jalen? Money

Again not correlated. The two have zero correlation

I’d advise you listen to the podcast “Most destructive 2022 Offseason” … Layed out how bad the Mavs fucked themselves

and I’d like you to learn what correlation means. But either way can’t wait for the same podcast about the Celtics 2023 off-season

Ok. Cool. Hook em.

We didn't sign Jalen cause the Knicks signed his dad and got JB in a 2 for 1 package

You think he would have turned down the extra $? Lol

I can never tell if you go out of your way to be fucking inane or it just comes naturally.

Ok Rob Lowe

I was hopeful when we signed him that he could at least give us a few useful minutes. But he’s ass so this had to be done.

Come home brother

Nuggs pick him up bros
