Rumors are swirling that the Golden State Warriors are flirting with the idea of trading center JaVale McGee to the Milwaukee Bucks. Talks about the possibility of McGee leaving the Bay Area have apparently become a hot-button topic among Warriors fans that Golden State general manager Bob Myers felt that it’s best to address the situation without going into much detail of whatever deal he is cooking up with the Bucks.
Here’s what Myers had to say when he appeared on 95.7 The Game.
“I can't do [speak about trade rumors]. It doesn't make sense for me or JaVale or for our team or for the Milwaukee Bucks or anybody to talk about that publicly. I hope the fans understand. Just judge us on what we actually do or don't do, not on what we're rumored to do or not do.”
It has been reported that McGee appears to be unhappy with the measly amount of playing time he’s getting this season. On top of that, the athletic big man didn’t like that the Warriors signed him to a one-year contract worth just the veteran’s minimum. With all the money that flew around back in the offseason, McGee probably felt that he could have gotten a bigger contract from the Warriors. The Warriors, however, are among the few teams that are over the luxury tax line, so they had a small window to operate in terms of managing their players’ salaries in the summer.
This season, McGee is averaging just 3.8 points and 1.9 rebounds on only 8.0 minutes per game.
