JaVale McGee to sign with the Boston Celtics
JaVale McGee has reached an agreement to sign with the Boston Celtics, reports
ESPN's Jeff Goodman. The deal will run through next season. McGee was waived
by the 76ers after being traded to Philadelphia by the Denver Nuggets.
McGee will play for his fourth team in four years. The Nuggets traded Nene to
the Wizards to acquire McGee and then signed him to a four-year, $44 million
contract on 2012-13 based on his athleticism and upside. When he didn't pan
out, they dumped him on the 76ers at this year's traded deadline along with a
first-round pick. McGee, who had a year left on his contract after this
season, originally said he wanted to stay in Philadelphia and mentor the
young players. But as the deadline for eligibility for the playoffs drew
near, the 76ers elected to waive him.

McGee has been plagued by injuries, so it's hard to assess his growth as a
player. He has always been a great shot blocker thanks to his huge wingspan
and athleticism, but has a tendency to chase every shot in his vicinity,
which often leaves him out of rebounding position. If he can reign that in,
he should provide Boston with a good inside defensive presence when he's on
the court, something the team lacks whenever Tyler Zeller rests.
The Celtics needed frontcourt help after losing Jared Sullinger for the
season, as they are trying to nab the last playoff spot in the East and McGee
helps them there. Considering how Hassan Whiteside has been able to turn his
career around and become a consistent contributor for the Heat, taking a
chance on a player with similar physical tools like McGee makes sense for
Boston. The Celtics are not near contention, so this is the time to make
these low-risk, high-reward moves.
McGee's career per game stats are 8.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.8 blocks on
19.9 minutes.

------------------------以下是翻譯跟麥基生涯一些小情報----------------------
俠客副，總裁，大家都愛的麥基已經跟波士頓賽爾迪克達成協議，ESPN的記者傑夫透漏
這筆合約將持續至下個賽季。麥基在被交易到76人之後被買斷。
這是麥基在4年內的第四支隊伍，聰明的麥基McGee在巫師時獅子大開口，
開出1年1400萬合約，巫師隊衡量之下把他在跟Nene的交易案中丟到了金塊
並與金塊簽下了四年，44000000美元合約之後，由於並沒有符合期望的表現，
於是金塊首先將麥基與他最後2年合約，加上在Timofey Mozgov交易中得到的第1輪選秀權
以及與Chukwudiebere Maduabum簽約的權利送到76人，換回與土耳其後衛Cenk Akyol
的簽約權。
原本，他說想留在費城和指導年輕球員。但是，隨著截止日期資格季后賽逼近
76人在3/1日前將他買斷。
波士頓正在因為他們正試圖捉住東部最後一個季后賽席次，目前情況看來他們需要麥基
給予他們前場的幫助。估計這是一份低風險高回報的合約。
麥基的職業生涯平均有19.9分的上場時間拿到8.4分，5.5個籃板和2.8個火鍋。
簽約金還沒出來，不過大致上底定了
不過那麼多強隊麥基為什麼要選了...
