The Golden State Warriors are finalizing their roster and returning a somewhat important member of their rotation. After playing last season on an unguaranteed contract after a training camp invite, the Dubs will bring back JaVale Mcgee on a one-year deal presumably for the minimum.
Following comes from Chris B Haynes of ESPN.
Free agent center JaVale McGee has agreed to re-sign with the Golden State Warriors, league sources tell ESPN.

McGee played in 77 games last season averaging 6.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and almost 1.0 blocks per game. He also played in 16 playoffs game during the Warriors run towards the NBA title including one start. He posted per game averages of 5.9 points, 1.6 rebounds, and almost one block during the postseason.
McGee spent last season attempting to shed himself of the stereotype that all he was good for is being a ‘Shaqtin’ a Fool’ MVP and not an actual NBA player. Instead, JaVale proved his worth to the NBA by being an important role player for the Warriors with his rim-running and shot blocking but also added to the fun culture Golden State has. Instead of being a distraction, he was a great addition to the team.
