McGee signed the 2nd biggest contract of his career. Also the second multi year deal since the end of his rookie contract. Since his last stint in Dallas he was on one year deals every single season. And on top of that they have to promise him a starting role. Hard to stomach...
He signed a 2YR deal in 19-20 and he made 5 million last year. The CAP is also a LOT larger in 2022 that when he signed his biggest deal in 2012. I hate the years too but I don't think he is grossly overpaid.
My larger point is everyone is at everyone else's throat over JaVale Fucking McGee who is going to make 5.5m this year. I was easily the biggest cheerleader to bring McGee here throughout the season. He's a useful rotation piece and nothing more. He isn't going to make or break this team. I don't think the organization thinks this either and he certainly isn't getting paid like a difference maker.
