After playing a key role in Golden State’s championship run, JaVale McGee will reportedly join forces with the Warriors’ latest threat. On the same night LeBron James and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope committed to the Lakers, the 7-foot center has also reportedly come to terms with Los Angeles. Per ESPN’s Chris Haynes:
Free agent center JaVale McGee and Los Angeles Lakers have reached an agreement on a deal, league sources tell ESPN.
In his last two seasons with Golden State, McGee has developed into an effective role player in limited minutes. During the 2018 NBA Finals, the 10-year NBA veteran averaged 8.0 points and 1.3 blocks per contest.
