The Mavericks are expected to waive-and-stretch veteran center JaVale McGee by the league's Aug. 31 deadline, league sources tell @TheSteinLine, barring an unforeseen trade that requires the inclusion of McGee's contract.

Way back in March of 2015 the Celtics were reportedly all set to sign JaVale McGee to a minimum contract, but the deal broke down over an option year. McGee had a bit of a renaissance and has remained in the NBA for the past eight years.
With the 35 year old center expected to be waived by the end of this month, should the Celtics make another run at him as big man insurance on a minimum deal?
