The effort and play of McGee lately has been great.. I’d love to see him be one of the vets coming back next year

Every NBA player is prone to Shaqtin moments though, McGee had always been the primary target of that shitshow lmao. Now that he’s back healthy and getting the bulk of the minutes at C, he’s been great the last several games!

I think/hope he will resign on a team friendly 1yr deal!

KCP been playing very well lately too, as usual with him tho, he is inconsistent.. though it seems with him it’s a confidence thing. When he’s starting and engaged in the game from the tip, he’s far better than coming off the bench.

McGee has been playing on team friendly deals the last few years. Hes going to take the highest offer he gets.

Which is a big issue moving forward.

As someone who watched McGee when he was with the Wizards, holy moly... He was usually the standard on Shaqtin, there were times where he had so much potential, but his extreme low BBIQ really hindered his ability to be the perfect center.

Honestly, given that our big man rotation had Jamison, Blatche, and Haywood as our 5's, man oh man, was it disappointing. It was literally McGee's spot to lose, and lose he did..

But watching him now, you can clearly see how veterans and coaches have taught him a lot more. Hopefully he goes somewhere or stays with the Lakers. McGee seems like the prototypical big man that can block, rebound, and run down the court to catch lobs, so we'll see if his success maintains.

I just feel like at this point of his career he’s gotta be tired of bouncing around the league. And I think he enjoys playing alongside LBJ/in LA. But he will likely get a decent multi year offer elsewhere.

Yeah for sure. He won’t be back next year but could thrive for a team if utilized to his strengths. Will suck to lose our best 3pt shooter tho lol

Absolutely! He really blossomed playing within the Warriors system and alongside the talent that’s there. He should be a fairly sought after big man given that he is a good rim protector and runs the court very well. His bball IQ has definitely grown over the years for sure haha

I think they’ll be heavily seeking deep threats this offseason, if you’re going to build a team around Lebron get some fucking shooters..

Oh I agree completely. But KCP earned like 14m~~ this past season, no? He’s gonna want a multi year deal and to get paid seeing as he’s a young, solid off-guard.. albeit inconsistent but still
