Just hours after LeBron James' agency announced he would sign with the Los Angeles Lakers, a Warriors fan favorite is reportedly set to join him.
JaVale McGee has agreed on a deal with the Lakers, ESPN's Chris Haynes reported Sunday evening.
McGee joined Golden State ahead of the 2016-17 season as something of a joke around the league, known more for his appearances on "Shaqtin' a Fool" than anything else. He leaves the Warriors as a two-time champion, after averaging 5.5 points and 2.9 rebounds in 9.5 minutes per game over two seasons in Oakland.
