McGee still stinks... Swiss cheese with McGee....

People often forget -- aside from stinking, some Swiss cheese is very expensive!

Wrong about what Ken? That he was a knucklehead when he was here? Is it possible, that he learned a lot from being at Golden State? Or is the fact that our center situation, no matter what people feel about Thomas Bryant, is one of the worst in the league. Statistically, he is having one of the best seasons in his career at 31, so good for him. And this is his sixth team by the way. The fact that he's become a pretty decent center? I'll never admit to being wrong about getting rid of him. Always knew he had the talent just needed maturity.

Yeah, revisionism at it's best. He's basically putting up same stats is last year with us on a crappy team like ours. Okay so he make the boneheaded mistakes anymore, only took him about 7-8 seasons to get that right. I could care less he won two championship with a team with 4 all-stars.

Flip Saunders.

He affixed the label. He lost a heap of games coaching like a knucklehead.

I have three black sons. Even I do not kill their spirits by labels like knucklehead. White coach who lost a lot more than Eddie Jordan did with same players...

Javale McGee may well have learning problems but he's Pam McGee's son and not a knucklehead. Never was.

I remember when others posted here. McGee was a net negative player. He was ALMOST out of the league in part thanks to Shaquille O'Neal and ShaqTin a Fool.

The Sixers waived Javale.

The other night, 30/20 with 5 blocks. James Worthy said McGee is finally comfortable playing 30 minutes a night.

My point: I thought McGee would be better after age 30. He can easily play another 7-10 years.

OMG, I didn't say he was a thug and should go to jail. Just wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. So maybe knucklehead (a term Michael Wilbon uses often) is going too far. So you are saying he was a genius on the floor? The next Magic Johnson? Dude, you have a very, very short memory. He was garbage here but he had his moments. Glad that you were right that he's become a serviceable center and dominated Bobby Portis and Thomas Bryant in a game that didn't matter.

Javale getting big minutes is a large reason why the Lakers failed this season. Dude can't defend worth a lick.

No, actually I have a very retentive mind. It gets short-circuited at times by bull, lack of sleep, etc.

McGee STARTED for Eddie Jordan. Those eleven or twelve games. RIGHT WHEN ERNIE FIRED EJ (when in fact, Ernie is the one who drafted stupid as F for several consecutive seasons. LOOK AT THE "WINNERS" ON THIS ROSTER.

BLATCHE, was the veteran.
McGuire, Young, and Pecherov had one year experience between them. NICK YOUNG treated McGee like a rookie that year!

Brawling guys who couldn't stand each other, Etan Thomas and Brendan Haywood were traditional Cs who had NOTHING to offer as mentors.

EDDIE JORDAN preferred to use Songaila at C.

80s, Javale was not exactly brought in nicely. Eddie Jordan was FIRED, I think VERY UNFAIRLY, twelve games into the season when several starters were injured. THAT THE WIZARDS HAVE NOT ACHIEVED ANY GREATER SUCCESS SINCE ARENAS WAS HEALTHY is a strong testimony to the ineptitude that ERNIE GRUNFELD has built.

McGee survived a lot of crap.

JUST FOR GIGGLES: See Javale's numbers the month of November, his rookie season, when primarily he was playing 20 judgment free minutes under Eddie Jordan.

After that, Tapscott took over. BACK THEN big men were told to stay in the paint, back down opponents, hold position, and defend the basket. Dude was 20 years old. He's STILL IN THE LEAGUE.

My whole premise then and now is he's got the athleticism. As he ages and grows physically, he's going to peak late and be good later in his career.
