SEPTEMBER 15: The Warriors continue to finalize their deals for training-camp invitees, having formally signed McGee this week, per RealGM’s transactions log.
JULY 29: The Warriors have agreed to a “make-good” training camp deal with JaVale McGee, Marc Stein of ESPN.com reports (Twitter links). The arrangement, based on Stein’s wording, is more than likely a one-year, minimum salary pact that includes no guaranteed money.
Golden State is in search of a rim protector and will give McGee the opportunity during the preseason to fill that role, Stein adds. McGee will compete with 2016 first-rounder Damian Jones and Anderson Varejao for a shot to back up projected starter Zaza Pachulia.
Dallas waived the center earlier this month after they were reportedly unable to find a trade partner for McGee, whose salary of $1,403,611 for 2016/17 was scheduled to become fully guaranteed on July 12th. McGee, 28, appeared in 34 games for the Mavs this past season and averaged 5.1 points and 3.9 rebounds in 10.9 minutes per outing. The center shot .575/.000/.500 on the year.
I swear to god if Jones gets cut for this bum i’m gonna riot.
Jones is guaranteed for 2 years with a 2 year team option. He’s not going anywhere.
If anything Jones will be d
League for a year
No team cuts their first round pick in year one. Not sure how you even thought that was a possibility.
That’ll bring that team to its knees. LAUGHING
He keeps making teams and they keep leaving him on the bench the whole season
I guess that I am just surprised that McGee is in this position.
Hope the best for him
