If McGee is signed on the cheap, it can’t hurt to bring him in and see what happens.
You can never have enough athletic big men. While Roy Hibbert is good defensively, he isn’t going to bring much offensive fluidity to the Lakers. McGee is more of a big that can run the floor and finish strong on fast breaks.
So, wouldn’t be a terrible thing to sign him if you are the Lakers or Mavs for that matter.
Sources close to JaVale McGee say he's focused on getting healthy. Several teams have shown interest. Mavs, Lakers seem like frontrunners.
