The sad thing is some team will offer him 90 mil for 6 season based off a couple good playoff games he had.
We all know Javale is just chasing that big pay day and then he will just phone it in.

I'd pump my brakes before throwing McGee in that category. I had to refrain from commenting on the myriad on Twitter claiming that he never played like that before. Did Javale not have games like that w/ the Wizards? Did Nick Young not go off like he did against the Grizz in Game 1...many times w/ the Wizards?Originally Posted by ExtRaOrDinaRy SwAg

That miiiiight be true for McGee to an extent but there's a LONG list of players who left DC and became champions/stars in basketball and football
The successes of Nick and Javale are a direct inditement on Flip and a little on Wall
George Karl, Said it on the Association, I believe.Originally Posted by SoCalKid
Javale will get better.
I forgot where i heard this but big men develop later in their careers.
He is very young. This summer will be developmental if the nuggets make him practice to improve his game.
Exactly what I'm talking about. People who never even really watched the team making statements like this.Originally Posted by DIOR PAINT

Only difference is the environment that they're in and the people around them who won't put up w/ what they got away with in DC. You think Chris Paul is going to put up with Nick Young coming down on 3 on 1 fastbreaks and taking a fade away three pointer? Or Javale McGee trying to jump from the 3 point line when the team is down 30?
And this might be another topic but the whole "Leave DC and blow up thing" has never really held THAT much weight.
I'm curious to know, exactly who are these players that everyone seems to think become stars when they leave DC?

It reflects on them no doubt, but it has to reflect on the coach and the PG that they were not able to get them to play better with a fair amount of talent.

Ben Gordon as well.Originally Posted by PMatic

as for former DC athletes who become successful (ie. win rings, make all star teams, pro bowls) I'll name a few off the top of my head
- Sheed (NBA champipon, perennial all star with Portland)
- Webber (perennial all star with the Kings, possible HOFer)
- Hamilton (all star, NBA champion)
- Butler (NBA champion, although not a huge impact for Dallas)
- Haywood (NBA Champion)
- Stevenson (NBA champion, great defense in the finals)
- Ben Wallace (NBA Champion, DPOY multiple times)
- Antonio Pierce (Super Bowl champ, pro-bowler)
- Devin Thomas (super bowl champ)
- Brandon Lloyd (great season for the Broncos after being a bust for the ********)
- Ryan Clark (super bowl champ for the Steelers)
you can nitpick some of those football players but the top of that list of NBA players is undeniable
You can add Stan Humphries (San Diego Chargers) to that list as well.
