you just said he should score "at least"--- and now you are already backing off it saying "he could"....whats kind of Trumpian gaslighting is next?

You missed the whole depending on mpg part?

Why would I do that?

I am talking hypotheticals that started with your anti-Ingram claims.

If you want to put some combo in there, I might be game. Like Ingram plus McGee average more than 22.

But I have no reason to bet on McGee alone.

Because the point I was making and what I would bet on is that the only reason Ingram might not get 16 is if there are a bunch of guys averaging 8-12. Which is defintely possible.

The homer in ME wants to believe McGee can average what he did in 2011-2012.

11ppg, 8rpg, and 2.2bpg in 25mpg.

The issue with McGee is that he does stupid things on the court and he doesn't defend pick and roll very well.

That said, he has always posted stats in the minutes he has been given. He can get buckets. The only question is how many minutes per game he will get.

if LeBron is seeing minutes at the 5 in games in November and December- and playing any amount of minutes at the 5 on a nightly basis, I mean- I just wont know what to say.

I have faith you will figure out something to say. In fact a LOT to say.

I am telling you--- you are gonna be shocked at what THE CEDI does this year....by the end of the year you will be saying WOW- you were right Wiggy! just like the Reddick stuff!

Early on, he might not get big minutes since there are still a ton of guys that can play the 2 or 3 on the Cavs, but once things get settled, and maybe after a trader or two- you will see Cedi take that starting spot and run with it and not relinquish it for years to come.

Better watch out for the Cedi, y'all...

I think Love will be very good 20 and 12 around that maybe better but most likely have some minor injuries which will force the workload to be on role players and Sexton. I think they could win around 35 if Love stays healthy but that wont make the playoffs. I am actually hoping the best but I also want that top 10 pick bc it’s not like they are winning the East. The best thing is for Sexton to start and play good minutes and the Cavs still get a top pick. So I expect a lot or close games that they will probably lose. The goal is to get valuable minutes to Sexton and eventually get rid of these contracts (most will be gone by at least next year).

I like your realistic outlook. Well done!

it just goes without saying

If i got 40 minutes a night in an NBA game I could put up a couple points. LOL.

Its a generality you could LITERALLY say about any player that has ever suited up to play basketball at any level in the history of the world.

Do I have to tell you that its dangerous to lick an electrical socket too?

And yet, you left out the mpg part and incorrectly accused him of walking back his comments.

So apparently, you need to be told that it's dangerous to lick an electrical socket.

Well, JaVale McGee is currently #1 on the Laker depth chart at center. Your position on McGee assumes that he has no shot of playing 20 minutes per game.

Because IF McGee gets 20 minutes, he will average 8 points and you will have to figure out how to fly to Mars.

No response to my bet idea, so I am assuming you don't want to bet on both of your Laker assumptions combined into 1.

if McGee gets 20 minutes a night on a regular basis and scores 8 a game on a regular basis, me and my buddy Elon Musk will be blasting off to start a colony on the red planet, believe me.

how about instead of qualifying your bets you just have the balls to make a bet

Mcgee scores 8 a game you win- he scores less I win

No thanks.

I only accept bets when I believe I have the better end of it. It isn't about having balls, it is about not being stupid.

But, your claims make it seem like you think there is no chance McGee scores anything close to 8 a game. And you are on record trying to bet people that Ingram doesn't get 16, so you are the one unwilling to put your money where your mouth is.

I have no vested interest here. So I will only bet if I like the terms.

hey if you want to bet that McGee gets 8 or more or Ingram gets 17 points a game--- let me know- i will take the unders. If you dont have the balls to take those bets i understand.

True.

You aren't going to goad me into a bet man. You are the one making the predictions here, I am simply talking about ways either side could happen.

Now, if you want to bump Ingram down to the original 16 PPG number and take both unders, then you have a bet. If you really believe there is no chance McGee gets 8 a game, his inclusion shouldn't deter you.

Official offer:

I take over on EITHER McGee hitting 8.0 or better OR Ingram hitting 16.0 or over.

You need to hit the under on both.

I would be willing to risk the 8K from our previous bet, but stakes are always negotiable. you can take it or leave it with regards to the terms.

He just turned the entire board into Javale McGee fans.
