Sn the market of this Free Agency 2022, a lot of pivots on the market and among them a head well known to bloopers but also to jewelers. After a season with the Suns, Javale McGee has decided to return to Dallas to finish the job!
Monsieur wanted a rather long-term contract, and candidates were swarming at his door. No it’s not a reality TV show you’re watching, but la Free Agency by JaVale McGee in the face of franchises ready to spend large sums on him. Courted by Milwaukee and Brooklyn in particular, the pivot might have added a new franchise to his CV full of teams and titles of all kinds, but the three-time NBA champion has nevertheless decided to retrace his steps, and sign with a franchise he was already familiar with following a brief 34-game stint in 2016: the Mavs. After a good season in Phoenix with 9.2 points 6.7 rebounds and 1.1 once morest in almost 16 minutes on average per game, the Tokyo Olympic champion decides to leave to potentially recover more responsibilities, and Dallas has therefore offered him the perfect deal to revive himself. JaVale McGee will know his ninth NBA franchise with the Mavs, and he is therefore returning to Texas for 20.1 million over three years, including a player option on the last year of the contract.

The Mavs are potentially doing the right thing with the signing of the 34-year-old No. 5, and Luka Doncic may have been rubbing his hands on it tonight following his game once morest Croatia. We saw it during the last Playoffs: the interior sector of Dallas was clearly in tatters and someone had to be recruited to pick up the pieces. Experience in the NBA Finals or even experience at all, this is also what the Texas franchise lacked during the last postseason. By signing McGee, the Mavericks combine the two, initialing on a piece of paper a pivot who has already taken the ultimate path to champion. The Big Secret arrives in Texas card in hand, so as not to get lost in this beautiful quest for the supreme title. The Mavs have therefore signed a pivot, bravo, and potentially Slovenian poto Goran Dragic, combo. If with that Luka is not happy…
The fit is very good, and Luka Doncic will probably be satisfied with the work done by the executives of his franchise. After a Conference final, the Mavs will have to continue and prove that this performance can be repeated. Can JaVale McGee take Dallas on the road to the title? Start of response in October, but in any case Mamène JaVale knows the way.
