He's a Tristan Thompson type at this point -- a familiar name that fans like because of his long-ago success, but probably not someone who is going to have any impact in the present.
My guess is the Lakers will wait on Wood. If they sign Javale, it would be a shrug. At this point, he's nothing more than a deep bench guy who won't screw anything up, but who also won't make a meaningful contribution.

You have no idea rather McGee can contribute and help a team out, Dallas and JaVale were at odds this season when he didn’t get PT because of others getting PT ahead of him not to mention they signed him to the 20M deal so he can start for them and thus the situation was a mess, Thompson to me is the guy who right now doesn’t mind being a mentor unless there is a injury situation involved, I also wouldn’t mind BB but McGee coming back to the place were he won a championship would bring a lot of positive vibes and that’s something that we need so the team won’t slack off
Andrew Bynum was solid in his previous run with us. Believe it or not, he's only 35. He's just three months older than McGee.
I'm being tongue in cheek, of course. The point is that something that McGee did four years ago doesn't matter to what he can do for us now. By all accounts, McGee doesn't have much left in the tank, if anything. _________________ Internet Argument Resolved
He looked pretty cooked. But if they strike out on Wood/Biyombo, could be a Dudley type bench player who can help mentor Hayes. Lakers do like bringing back familiar faces. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

McGee averaged 8MPG this past year so there is no idea if he’s really cooked or not the Mavericks signed him so he can play a vital role for them but once others started to get PT his role diminished, you guys probably don’t know because you didn’t want any Mavericks games

I get that it's the offseason and some people are desperate to get hot and bothered about anything, even something inconsequential, like the availability of soon-to-be-36-year-old Javale McGee.
If you want to make this the thing you get hot and bothered about today, knock yourself out

No one is suggesting that McGee is gonna be like the McGee from 2020, I guess whoever signs him we will find out by preseason rather he can still make a difference

Tristan right now is better than this version of McGee. At least this current version of Tristan can hold his own against 2023 Jokic, while 2020 McGee was getting murdered by 2020 Jokic. _________________

During this point in the offseason people get obsessed with the end-of-the-bench guys who won't matter because they have nothing better to talk about. Happens every year. Just people killing time talking about meaningless stuff.

This current version of TT is perfectly fine being a cheerleader being a coach on the sidelines helping players give guidance, play if his name is called upon, I feel like people are to easy to ignore the fact that McGee never had a chance to show what he’s got when he signed with Dallas, check out his stats from his previous stop… the team he played for was PHX he ended up averaging almost 16MPG… what he did he average? 9/6 I don’t think it’s crazy to assume that McGee can average close to those numbers

Numbers mean squat if he is unplayable in the playoffs and Shaqtin was unplayable in 2020.....now you think he might be playable? Dwight could put up numbers even now if we signed him. Id sign him than Shaqtin because Im sure Shaqtin will be far more useless even now than Dwight.

You obviously have no clue what the reason behind the McGee signing would be, if we were to bring him back which I doubt he will help us guide Hayes and also give us some production if AD goes down with a injury, I don’t think McGee is gonna want to comeback though so it doesn’t matter, we’re probably gonna sign Biyombo or TT

You are right I have no clue what the reason would be to sign a useless scrub like Shaqtin McGee who is even more worthless than even a Dwight signing would be.....carry on. Or better yet sign the guy who actually looked playable vs Jokic (TT) than a guy who looked worthless against an even worse version of Jokic

I realize Shaq’s portrayal of McGee on TNT was inaccurate, but the idea of the face of the Shaqtin’ a fool segment being a mentor to anyone is hilarious.

He's now a 3 time NBA champ and someone who has been in the league now for 15 years. I think he's past the Shaqtin' days and can be a good voice for someone like Hayes.
I wouldn't count on much on court value (ergo why there are other better targets) but he can provide other things. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
no thanks, i don't think he can guard Jokic type which is the exact type we need. i am leaning toward Biyombo.
I don't think you will find anyone who can guard Jokic, be it a max player or especially a minimum player. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

nobody can guard him, of course, but players with bulkier builds have a better chance of slowing him down and keeping him further from the basket. like Dwight, Biyombo type. Mcgee is not that
