It's $5.5, $5.7, and $6 million per year. That's what? $3 million above a vet min? Even if he plays himself into a bunch of DNPs by year 2 or 3 it's not exactly going to be a boat anchor, and he could easily fit in for salary matching in various trade scenarios.
Edit: Just to be clear, I'm not a big fan of McGee, in general, but I do think what he does is valuable to the Mavs and the contract is small enough that it's no big deal if he has to be moved later.
