The Los Angeles Lakers made what is likely the final major move of their offseason on Sunday by reaching an agreement to trade JaVale McGee to the Cleveland Cavaliers in order to clear up room under the hard cap.
Following the deal — which also netted them Jordan Bell and Alfonzo McKinnie — L.A. reportedly came to terms with Marc Gasol on a two-year contract, adding one of the highest basketball-IQ big man in the NBA.
The Lakers would have been pressed financially if not able to move McGee due to his $4.2 million cap hit.
