Wine & Gold Deal for Veteran Shot-Blocker, JaVale McGee
The Cavaliers might have a youth movement going with its talented backcourt – and added another young gun on the wing via the Draft – but they added some experience to the big man rotation on Monday, dealing for veteran shot-blocker and three-time NBA Champion, JaVale McGee.
In the deal, Cleveland sent Alfonzo McKinnie and Jordan Bell to the Lakers in exchange for McGee and a 2026 second round pick.
With Training Camp less than two weeks away, the Wine & Gold added some depth in the seven-footer who was originally drafted by the Wizards back in 2008.
