JaVale McGee may not be the hero Dallas deserves, but he could be the hero the Mavericks need.
In the wake of the DeAndre Jordan fiasco, the Mavericks assembled a motley crew of big men, perhaps the most divisive of which is the injured (and Shaqtin' a Fool-prone) center JaVale McGee.
McGee is a talented player, drafted in the first round in 2008 by the Wizards and traded to Denver during Washington's much-needed housecleaning.
He suffered a season-ending left leg stress fracture in 2014 and has been plagued by a series of injuries that have kept him mostly on the sideline ever since.
