It was on the wiretap that the 'Zards are gauging interest in him and Blatche.
Anybody think McGee is worth taking a look at as a backup to Roy? He's had a couple behavioral issues in his young career, but as a byproduct of another player. There was when he got fined $10k for laughing at the Gilbert Arenas finger-gun thing and then last week when he got in a fight with Blatche outside of a nightclub (who is a knucklehead in his own right.)
He's a little inconsistent but has the ability to rack up the rebounds and blocks in short order.

Might be a good player but he seems unstable to me.

Re: JaVale McGee
I honestly think he'd start at the 4 for us. The tools are there, definitely, but he still seems a bit raw and needs to get stronger. He got invited to the Olympic tryout camp, so he's no slouch.

Re: JaVale McGee
I personally would love to have a guy like that. I love those athletic, high energy rebounding and blocking big men. We don't need him to be a scorer, Roy, Danny, and DC can handle that.

He looks like a 4 next to Roy Hibbert...

Re: JaVale McGee
Wiz are pretty high on him. It's one of those "he's worth way more to us than you want to offer" things.

Re: JaVale McGee
Reading Wiz posts. They say he is very soft and a terrible man to man defender. Could maybe do as a back up at either big spot but likely too costly. Can't be relied upon defensively at this point as a starter.
Pity, I love his stats. He's young, maybe he will improve.
