Report: Warriors re-signing JaVale McGee to one-year contract
The Warriors helped rehabilitate JaVale McGee‘s career to the point he wanted more – more money, a starting spot.
But old reputations die hard, and it’s a tough market for free-agent centers.
So, McGee is returning to Golden State.
ESPN:
The Golden State Warriors are re-signing center JaVale McGee to a one-year contract, source told ESPN’s Chris Haynes.
McGee could receive between the minimum ($2,116,955) and Non-Bird Exception ($2,540,346). He’ll cost Golden State between $5,968,023 and $10,511,120.* Here’s guessing he gets the minimum.
*Factoring in the NBA’s reimbursement for one-year minimum contracts and the luxury tax, also assuming the Warriors keep the same roster when the tax is assessed at the end of the regular season
Golden State played to McGee’s strengths by simplifying the game for him. He chased lobs, blocks and rebounds and was asked to do little else. He still made the occasional gaffe, and questions about his basketball intelligence remain, but McGee progressed in his never-ending battle to stifle the laughter.
Not every team could protect McGee like that, so he’s more valuable to the Warriors than others. He’ll take another crack at free agency next summer, but at 30, he might not find eager suitors then, either.
In Golden State, he’ll again join a center rotation that includes Zaza Pachulia and David West and maybe Damian Jones and Jordan Bell. With stars at every other position, the Warriors have taken an equalitarian approach at center.
McGee gives the Warriors 15 players clearly on standard contracts, the regular-season limit. Chris Boucher is on a two-way contract, and Antonius Cleveland might be, too. Even if he’s on a standard contract, Cleveland is unlikely to stick past the preseason. It seems we know the roster Golden State will take into the regular season.
Then again, McGee surprisingly made the regular-season roster on an unguaranteed deal last year. Maybe he’ll have to fend off challengers this year.

Re: Free Agency 2017
Saw an article about the 2018 free agency expectations. I think it was on ESPN
It suggest that less money will be available next year. It seems the eye popping contracts passed out this summer reflected a feeding frenzy.
I think the NBA salary struction, as evidenced by those vet minimums and 2 way contracts on one end and those ungodly $200+ million contracts is a dangerous business model.
