Sources revealed to Yahoo Sports that the difference between the two sides lies in the contract options for next season.
Celtics general manager Danny Ainge wants the Celtics to have a team option next season, while McGee wants to have a player option next season.
After repeated communication and negotiation failed, the negotiations between the two parties collapsed.
“Javier is a long-term athlete. At present, there is no such style of player in our team who can complete the defense above the basket.” Angie said in a previous radio interview, “However, he has suffered a lot of injuries. The current salary
It is also relatively high, which leads to a lot of his potential being overlooked. We hope that we can put him in the coaching range of Brad Stevenson, and maybe he can achieve transformation. I also believe that Boston will be very suitable for him.
The foothold of a career.”
Obviously, McGee is going to find another foothold. Judging from the negotiations with Boston, McGee is very concerned about his salary for next season.
He signed a four-year, $44 million contract with the Nuggets in 2012, but his health problems have become a big problem since then.
In the past two seasons, he suffered from constant injuries and played very little playing time.
In order to send out his contract, the Nuggets also paid the 76ers a first-round pick.
McGee’s contract this season is $11.2 million, and his contract value next season is $12 million.
If McGee has a player option, he’s guaranteed another $12 million next season.
But McGee only played 23 games this season, 17 of which represented the Nuggets and 6 represented Philadelphia. He averaged 4.6 points and 2.7 rebounds per game, which was seriously inconsistent with his worth.
According to previous news, there are as many as 10 teams interested in McGee, most of which are playoff teams.
The Dallas Mavericks, Miami Heat, Golden State Warriors, Toronto Raptors, San Antonio Spurs and Chicago Bulls are all on the list.
