I think McGee is a fairly good get, but not if the overall team situation is less promising than it was last season, which is how I view the current situation without Brunson. From my POV, signing McGee to that deal is like getting the best, tastiest organically grown cherry to place on top of an ice cream sunday that has no chocolate sauce or whipped cream. I mean, Luka is the ice cream, sure, so I'll eat it, but it felt more like a completed desert to me a year ago than it does today. I am not able to get excited about the cherry in this situation.
Yeah but McGee's contract had nothing to do with the Mavs ability or lack thereof to sign JB.
