Do you all think it's a possibility we can get him. I would give up anyone on the roster to get this kid. He's humble and a hard worker. He's definitely tough being his experiences in Chicago and Detroit. The guy is 7'1'' without shoes and can over power defenders. The crazy part is he's not done growing according to his mom. He also has a touch from three point range and around the painted box. He reminds me of Andrew Bynum but the better version. This guy speed and jumping ability is crazy. I know talent and potential when I see it. He's what we're missing right now. Is there any chance we can get him?
McGee's mom is psychotic. Not because of this information, which she would have no way of knowing, but just in general. She goes crazy on people on message forums who talk about McGee.
As a side note, McGee is pretty weak and certainly can't overpower anyone. He's like Andrew Bynum minus about 75 lbs with no post game. Other than the fact that they are both young and 7 feet tall, I don't know of anything they have in common.
McGee is a tremendous athlete, but he's not a basketball player at all. Potential, absolutely, anyone with his athleticism and size has tremendous potential, but he's got miles to go before filling it. He had a hard time getting of the bench of the worst team in the NBA this year.
I don't see the Bulls being ready to take on that kind of project even if we were able to get him for something reasonable. That's not to say that he won't take off at some point down the road, I just don't think that day is within the next 2 years, and I don't see the Bulls looking to take on a big man that's 3 years away and may never get there.
