Nate Duncan: Suns will likely use $5m of their MLE on JaVale McGee. Could have gone for a longer contract looking for a bigger free agent with full MLE over multiple years, but were impacted in future years by Ayton/Bridges extensions.
JaVale McGee to Phoenix
Veteran center JaVale McGee has reached an agreement with the Phoenix Suns on a one-year, $5 million deal, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Dan Woike: The situation with Andre Drummond last season was less than ideal, and while Gasol’s reinsertion into the starting lineup late in the playoffs might be some vindication for the proud vet, the Lakers have to wonder if he wants to be back after it seemed like the team didn’t want him. If Gasol is out, the Lakers will need to find a starting center. And innovation could lose out to familiarity. In addition to Howard, I think JaVale McGee could be another option too.
JaVale McGee interested in re-signing with Nuggets
Despite how the season ended, JaVale McGee is interested in returning to Denver, according to two league sources, but is expected to have multiple suitors. Nuggets coach Michael Malone raved about McGee’s locker room presence throughout the playoffs, and has said the team intends to find more rest for Jokic next season.
