JaVale McGee will be a viable backup 5 for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cleveland Cavaliers recently acquired JaVale McGee in a trade with the Los Angeles Lakers in a deal that also netted them a future second-rounder for Alfonzo McKinnie and Jordan Bell. McGee is on an expiring/one-year deal after he opted into his $4.2 million player option for next season.
Cleveland has had a very slow offseason, which was kind of expected after Andre Drummond picked up his $28.
