Lakers agree to terms with Javale McGee to minimum deal

[Mamba Mentality]

McGee showed that he can be effective in limited minutes. Any guy at his size who can defend on the perimeter is invaluable in today's NBA. I don't mind this signing.

[Sushisensei26]

Wow. He's a joke. Worse signing then Lance but whatever. Just for a year on minimum money. Is cool. Doesn't hurt us.

[Optms]

Being on the Dubs conveniently hid all of his short comings as a player and highlighted only the positives. I'm not as positive on this as Lance or Rondo.

[dipstick]

Its for the minimum, so it doesn't matter. We can waive him and it won't hurt. What bothers me is if he comes in as the opening day starter at C.

He's not a dumb dude

We are assembling the Knuckle Head All-Stars, lol

Well even if we lose, at least it will be entertaining

Lake show OR Sideshow?

things I've learned about Javale from his parking lot show:

1. He's vegan

2. It's not that good, so don't waste your life watching it

Mcgee is the only player on this video who got ring

[SlimShady83]

Lol, first Lance, now McGee?? These are awful signings. They also don’t address our actual freaking need of three point shooting. Whatever, at least I’m still riding high off the euphoria of the Lebron signing.

Chill Bruh they're only 1 year deals

Besides who would you get for 1 year deal - gotta save cap for next year can't get multi year deals

Oh anddon't say Howard OR Cousins - Cousins is awsome but injured and howward is a coward - not worthy of laker uniform

I didn't know this before, but it makes sense:

http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q22

When a player has been in the NBA for three or more seasons, and is playing under a one-year, 10-day or Rest-of-Season contract at the minimum salary, the league reimburses the team for part of his salary -- any amount above the minimum salary for a two-year veteran. For example, the minimum salary for a two-year veteran in 2017-18 is $1,471,382, so for a ten-year veteran, with a minimum salary of $2,328,652, the league would reimburse the team $857,270. Only the two-year minimum salary is included in the team salary, not the player's full salary. They do this so teams won't shy away from signing older veterans simply because they are more expensive than younger veterans.

So this year, Javale counts as $1,512,601, even though his contract is worth $2,393,887. The league actually pays $881,286 of Javale's salary

I’m going to hate seeing McGee in Purple and Gold!!
