During the postgame press conference, Brown crashed Domantas Sabonis and poked fun at himself over not playing JaVale McGee.</p><p>It was all in good fun. Sabonis couldn’t help but laugh and smile as his head coach asked him why McGee didn’t get more playing time.

He finished Thursday night’s game with 18 points, 13 assists, and eight rebounds. His efforts helped <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-sacramentos-clamping-of-stephen-curry-leads-major-warriors-clowning" rel="noopener">lead the Kings</a> to their 25th win on the season, putting them just ahead of the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference. Sacramento is looking like a true playoff contender as of late with the NBA All-Star break right around the corner.</p><p>The Kings will attempt to earn their third win in a row on Saturday night as they take on the Mavericks in a pivotal matchup. Maybe Mike Brown will give JaVale McGee some playing time in this one after joking about it on Thursday night.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, people often overlook that McGee is also an athletic 7-footer with three NBA championships to his name. For the 2023-24 season, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-three-time-nba-champion-with-warriors-lakers-signs-with-the-kings" rel="noopener">McGee signed with the Sacramento Kings</a>.</p><p>Given McGee’s polarizing popularity, have you ever wondered how a guy like him lives? Well, wonder no more. This article features JaVale McGee’s $2.49 million former mansion in Los Angeles.</p><p>Back in 2015, McGee was suiting up for the Dallas Mavericks. However, the three-time NBA champion also fancied a home in Encino, a neighborhood of L.A. Around the same time he joined the Mavs, McGee shelled out $2.4 million for a property in Los Angeles which was owned by hit singer Marc Anthony.</p><p>Curiously in 2019, when he already joined the Lakers, the 7-foot center opted to sell the same Encino mansion. McGee listed the property with an asking price of $3 million. He eventually settled to <a href="https://lakersdaily.com/report-javale-mcgee-sells-2-49-million-los-angeles-mansion/" rel="noopener">sell it</a> for $2.49 million.</p><p>Here are some photos of JaVale McGee’s $2.49 million former mansion in Los Angeles.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/bd88c9b54c2991175d23f37d47718b48w-c0xd-w640_h480_q80.jpg"></figure><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/c862f1b75fcb10daccc4f129667bc33bw-c0xd-w640_h480_q80.jpg"></figure><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/eb224e1d5e7c352cf4cbce4c73d25437w-c0xd-w640_h480_q80.jpg"></figure><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/1398f2e54726cf59b67168710d33942ew-c0xd-w640_h480_q80.jpg"></figure><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/74c38800d964063ba11a72ee80b6de20w-c0xd-w640_h480_q80.jpg"></figure><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/25c7b4f2f3eaaae2bd3148ca3cb756bcw-c0xd-w640_h480_q80.jpg"></figure><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/00c66039e6b052f2a6a6921c498c18cfw-c0xd-w640_h480_q80.jpg"></figure><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/e5a35c66d65903c5cb59337b1ec40453w-c0xd-w640_h480_q80.jpg"></figure><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/02b0e479a82682042958a7d486289e84w-c0xd-w640_h480_q80.jpg"></figure><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/c808393c6ae715632e94a8eeb6c58d6dw-c0xd-w640_h480_q80.jpg"></figure><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/ca651af62d5a06cb1f87d7ae6b18f679w-c0xd-w640_h480_q80.jpg"></figure><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/359bebeccb72c9b793545f4fbc9f96b3w-c0xd-w640_h480_q80.jpg"></figure><p>Photos courtesy of: <a href="https://www.realtor.com/news/celebrity-real-estate/javale-mcgee-encino-mansion/" rel="noopener">Realtor</a></p><p>McGee’s former mansion encompasses 6,263 square feet of living space. It includes five bedrooms and eight bathrooms. It contains several main features in the interior.

Aside from the main home, a separate bar also sits atop the property.</p><p>Aside from a solid interior, the property also boasts a good amount of outdoor space. The backyard features several outdoor sitting areas, a swimming pool with a spa, and concrete walkways.</p><p>McGee has carved out a lengthy NBA career, having played for several teams. With three NBA championships to his name, it isn’t surprising that the comedic yet athletic 7-footer can afford to live a lavish lifestyle. Apart from his NBA career, McGee also has his own <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@JaValeMcGee/about" rel="noopener">YouTube</a> channel that already accumulated over 650K subscribers. Based on <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/nba/javale-mcgee-net-worth/" rel="noopener">Celebrity Net Worth</a>, McGee has a net worth of around $30 million.</p><p>Nevertheless, this is all the information that we have on JaVale McGee’s $2.49 million former mansion in Los Angeles.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, this is exactly what JaVale McGee ended up doing at the end of August.</p><p>According to The Athletic’s Sam Amick, McGee ultimately decided to join the Kings this offseason despite the Warriors <a href="https://theathletic.com/4834813/2023/09/07/shai-gilgeous-alexander-canada-grizzlies-warriors-anthony-edwards/" rel="noopener">having interest</a> in the 35-year-old big man. Not too long ago, McGee spent two seasons with Golden State, as he was a member of their 2017 and 2018 championship teams.</p><p>Kings head coach Mike Brown was also a member of these championship teams with the Warriors. His relationship with Brown likely played a role in this decision, as did the fact that he could hold a “significant role” in Sacramento, per Amick.</p><p>It is certainly no secret that the Warriors have been pursuing depth in their frontcourt with one of their final two roster spots ahead of training camp. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/javale-mcgee-free-agent-reunion-warriors-lakers" rel="noopener">McGee would have made</a> a lot of sense for this organization, especially since he is familiar with their style of play.</p><p>Always known for being a bruiser in the paint, the veteran center would have instantly provided depth behind Kevon Looney. Not to mention, he’s always been a great rebounding presence on both sides of the floor.</p><p>With the Kings, McGee figures to be All-Star big man Domantas Sabonis’ backup. Sacramento struggled to receive production from their frontcourt talents when Sabonis was off the floor last season, which is why they felt the need to bring in an experienced option like McGee.</p><p>The Dallas Mavericks originally signed him ahead of the start of the 2022-23 season to a three-year deal, but McGee barely played and fell out of the rotation. As a result, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavs-news-javale-mcgee-waived-markieff-morris-contract" rel="noopener">he was waived</a>, and the Mavs will now be responsible for paying him the remaining amount that was on his contract.</p><p>After missing out on McGee, the Warriors do not have many other options in terms of adding more frontcourt help. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-ex-players-kent-bazemore-juan-toscano-anderson-free-agent-workouts" rel="noopener">Warriors did host workouts</a> with Harry Giles III and Juan Toscano-Anderson this offseason, but Giles recently signed a contact with the Brooklyn Nets. Perhaps Golden State will consider former first overall pick Blake Griffin, as the six-time All-Star remains an unrestricted free agent with training camp right around the corner.</p><p>Regardless of what roster moves the Warriors make between now and the start of the season, they will enter the new year with the goal of winning another championship on their minds.

While many teams have put the finishing touches on their roster ahead of the start of training camp in September, there are still some looking to add a little bit more talent. Not many impactful free agents remain, but JaVale McGee, a three-time NBA champion, is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavs-news-javale-mcgee-waived-markieff-morris-contract" rel="noopener">about to be available</a> once his time with the Dallas Mavericks is officially over.</p><p>On Tuesday, NBA insider Marc Stein was the first to report that the Mavs and McGee would be moving on from one another after just one season, as the team is expected to <a href="https://twitter.com/TheSteinLine/status/1694061251364593862?s=20" rel="noopener">waive-and-stretch</a> him by the Aug. 31 deadline. Shortly after, The Athletic’s Shams Charania not only clarified that the team would be waiving McGee but also re-signing veteran forward <a href="https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1694062596591137156?s=20" rel="noopener">Markieff Morris</a> to a contract for the 2023-24 season.</p><p>Last offseason, McGee agreed to a three-year, $17 million deal, owning a player option for the 2024-25 season. As a result, the Mavs will stretch the remaining $12 million on the 35-year-old’s contract through the 2027-28 season at about $2.3 million per season. A formal announcement from the team is expected in the coming days.</p><p>The Mavs not only <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavs-news-dallas-kings-pull-trigger-on-huge-richaun-holmes-trade" rel="noopener">brought in Richaun Holmes</a> from the Sacramento Kings this offseason, but they also re-signed Dwight Powell and added Dereck Lively II with the 12th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. They did not have a need for McGee anymore, which is why Dallas has decided to waive him.</p><p>Once he clears waivers, McGee will be an unrestricted free agent and eligible to sign with any other team in the league. He has 15 years of NBA experience with eight different franchises, plus he has been a part of three championship teams over the last seven seasons.</p><p>Maybe he is not the contributor he once was, but McGee has always been a reliable rebounder and the experience he can bring to any organization could be valuable, especially to teams vying for a championship entering the 2023-24 season.</p><p>As a result, both the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers may ponder the question of if signing the veteran is worthwhile, especially since they both lack frontcourt depth and have an open roster spot.</p><h2><b>JaVale McGee’s fit with Warriors</b></h2><p>This offseason, the Warriors were quite active in terms of finding ways to maintain their championship pedigree. While they did not want to sacrifice the youthful, high-potential players on their roster, Golden State was forced to give up Jordan Poole and 2022 first-round pick Patrick Baldwin Jr. in a salary dump move to acquire 12-time All-Star guard Chris Paul. Mike Dunleavy Jr., the organization’s new general manager, also added key veterans such as Dario Saric and Cory Joseph in free agency.</p><p>Capitalizing on the remaining years they have with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green is the main priority the Warriors have right now, which is why bringing in veterans who can help them compete for a title was vital. About a month out from training camp, this team currently has 13 players on their active roster, meaning they have two available roster spots.</p><p>It does appear as if Golden State will be making at least one more addition ahead of the start of the season, as the Warriors have held <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-harry-giles-juan-toscano-anderson-open-roster-spots" rel="noopener">workouts with several veteran free agents</a> such as Harry Giles, Juan Toscano-Anderson and Kent Bazemore. Saric will help fill some holes in the frontcourt, but the fact of the matter is that the Warriors still lack big man depth outside of Kevon Looney and Green. This is why players like Giles and Toscano-Anderson were invited to workout in San Francisco.</p><p>Having a true center who can step up in limited minutes when needed, especially if Looney or Green are injured, will be vital to the Warriors’ potential success. A player like McGee could be a terrific addition to the end of the bench for various reasons.</p><p>Not too long ago, McGee was a member of the organization during the 2016-17 and 2017-18 seasons. Both years ended in the Warriors hoisting the Larry O’Brien championship trophy into the air.</p><p>In 142 regular season games with Golden State, the big man averaged 5.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.9 blocks per game while shooting 63.9 percent. However, his production and leadership meant a lot more than these numbers may reflect, as McGee was a spark of energy whenever he was inserted into the game.</p><p>The locker room embraced McGee and he truly made a difference in the postseason during these two championship runs. Obviously he wasn’t as impactful as Steph or Klay, but he still played his role and was a true professional even though he did not see much playing time.</p><p>These are the type of players the Warriors need, especially if they are to continue being in the hunt for more titles. McGee is going to be looking to continue his career on a minimum deal and it is no secret that the Warriors will be looking to find another frontcourt talent before the new season begins.</p><p>He is familiar with the franchise and already has a relationship with the core of the team. This is why McGee going back to finish his career with the Warriors makes sense.</p><h2><b>JaVale McGee’s fit with Lakers</b></h2><p>Even though they won their 17th title in 2020 when the NBA resumed its activities during the pandemic, the Lakers have not found much success in recent years. They lost in the first-round of the playoffs in 2021 and they missed the playoffs entirely in 2022.</p><p>General manager Rob Pelinka and Los Angeles’ front office did a fantastic job of flipping this roster around ahead of the trade deadline last season and as a result, the Lakers found themselves in the Western Conference Finals as the 7-seed in the West.</p><p>Once again, the Lakers flipped their roster around in the offseason, as they brought back Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura and D’Angelo Russell in free agency. They also added the likes of Gabe Vincent, Cam Reddish, Jaxson Hayes and Taurean Prince. A total of 13 players occupy roster spots for this organization right now and they too are wanting to add another frontcourt talent for depth behind Anthony Davis.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/3-reasons-lakers-must-sign-christian-wood-nba-offseason" rel="noopener">Christian Wood has been mentioned</a> as an obvious choice for Los Angeles to pursue, but there has been no movement on a new contract for him this offseason and it still appears as if Wood is mulling whether or not he would even accept a minimum deal. JaVale McGee, on the other hand, would be more than happy to sign a minimum deal to return to Los Angeles, as he was a member of the 2020 championship team.</p><p>In his two seasons with the team, McGee averaged 9.4 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game in 143 regular season games. He even started in 130 of these games, making an impact on offense as a strong screener who would be tough to stop rolling to the rim.</p><p>While they did sign Hayes this offseason, as mentioned previously, the Lakers could use a third big man for depth. McGee’s presence also gives them a reliable rebounder and shot-blocker.</p><p>Who knows how many years left LeBron James has and like the Warriors with Curry, the Lakers are looking to capitalize on the remainder of James’ career. He would not play much and wouldn’t serve the same role he once held with the team, but McGee can easily fill the role held by Tristan Thompson last  season in Los Angeles. Plus, he could also be a mentor for a young, athletic big man like Hayes.</p><p>At this point, the Lakers’ options for who to add in their frontcourt are limited. Assuming they are not going to be bringing in Wood, McGee wouldn’t be a bad backup plan whatsoever once he clears waivers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In attempts to surround superstar Luka Doncic with “win-now” talents, the Mavs not only <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavs-news-kyrie-irving-agrees-3-year-126-million-contract-2023-nba-free-agency" rel="noopener">re-signed All-Star guard Kyrie Irving</a> and center Dwight Powell, but they added the likes of Grant Williams, Seth Curry and Derrick Jones Jr. for more depth.</p><p>With training camp just about a month away, Dallas is not done making moves just yet, as big man JaVale McGee now finds his name in headlines. According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, the Mavs are planning to <a href="https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1694062596591137156?s=20" rel="noopener">stretch-and-waive</a> McGee. It seemed likely that the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-mavs-guaranteed-javale-mcgee-move-training-camp" rel="noopener">Mavs were going to part ways</a> with  the veteran center this offseason after failing to find a trade partner for him and the writing has been on the wall following his first season in Dallas.</p><p>As a result of waiving McGee, Charania notes that veteran forward Markieff Morris is expected to remain with the team on a new contract. Morris joined the Mavericks at the same time as Irving a season ago, as he was included in the trade with the Brooklyn Nets. In the eight games Morris appeared in with the Mavs last season, he averaged 4.5 points and 1.5 rebounds in about 8.8 minutes per game.</p><p>Under contract through the 2024-25 season, including his player option, McGee’s stretch-and-waive deal with the Mavericks will run through the 2027-28 season and he will make about $2.3 million per year. Upon being officially waived and clearing waivers, the 35-year-old will be eligible to sign with any other team in the league.</p><p>Despite things not working out in Dallas, McGee has had some great moments in his career. He’s always been a strong rebounder, averaging 5.2 rebounds per game over the course of his now 15-year career, and he’s a three-time NBA champion. He won two titles as a member of the Golden State Warriors 2017 and 2018, as well as another title with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020.</p><p>Both the Warriors and Lakers are two teams who still own an open roster spot this offseason and have shown interest in adding more frontcourt depth.

The Mavs will probably be one of the busier teams in NBA free agency given the rumors of how desperate they are to contend while still having Luka Doncic.

We all know about their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-steve-kerr-sounds-off-exciting-development-rookie-amid-dubs-injury-crisis" rel="noopener">player development</a> and how well they plan for the future. But it’s also little things off the court that matter as it did for Dallas Mavericks center JaVale McGee.</p><p>When the 35-year-old won his first <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-steve-kerr-reveals-massive-difference-between-2015-2017-championship-teams" rel="noopener">championship with Golden State</a> in 2017, he had a number of better offers from other teams in the league.</p><p>Despite that, he chose to sign on with the Warriors in free agency on a one-year contract. It paid dividends as he went on to win another championship with Kevin Durant, Steph Curry and company before ultimately departing the following season for the Los Angeles Lakers.</p><p>So, with the prospects of a second championship aside, why did McGee choose to stay with the Warriors and accept a lesser contract? One reason for it was how the <a href="https://twitter.com/TheVolumeSports/status/1634282984558809101?" rel="noopener">franchise treated its players</a> and organized dinners on the road.</p><p>“Tasting that championship, man. Seeing what it took from Game 1 to Game 82 to every game in the playoffs of what it took,” McGee said on “The Draymond Green Show.” “The brotherhood that I felt, the energy, the way the Warriors organization treats their players. I had been to three or four teams, and the Warriors by far — still to this day — treat their players the best out of anybody.</p><p>“Just one aspect of the way that the Warriors does dinners on the road. I still haven’t seen that and I’ve been on four teams after that, I believe. … Just that aspect of that, to congregate with not only your teammates, but your teammates’ friends and family, and not worrying about the bill. Just order whatever you want. We’re all just going to congregate in fellowship and really enjoy it.</p><p>“That was one aspect. I’m like, a million more won’t do it for me. I need to do this again and it worked out.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">.<a href="https://twitter.com/JaValeMcGee?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JaValeMcGee</a> speaks with <a href="https://twitter.com/Money23Green?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Money23Green</a> about what makes the <a href="https://twitter.com/warriors?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Warriors</a> organization so special <a href="https://t.co/yxNR9936Sh">pic.twitter.com/yxNR9936Sh</a></p><p>— The Volume (@TheVolumeSports) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheVolumeSports/status/1634282984558809101?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 10, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

So much has changed from seven years ago, and the 34-year-old veteran knows that this time around, he comes into the squad with a totally different mindset.</p><p>When <a href="https://twitter.com/TamaraJolee/status/1582147316550467585">asked</a> by reporters what the main difference is between the old and the present-day JaVale McGee, the 7-foot big man said that he’s in much better shape right now.</p><blockquote>“2015 JaVale was 280 pounds,” McGee said. “… That was also the year I decided to go vegan. Right now, I’m 255 pounds.”</blockquote><p>McGee pointed out that he was coming off a major injury when he arrived with the Mavs the last time, which is likely why he didn’t have the best season of his career in his first stint in Dallas. However, he’s a different man now, and at this point, there’s just one thing on his mind:</p><blockquote>“I have a different mindset as a three-time NBA champion, one-time Olympic gold medalist,” he said. “… I just have a winning mindset. All I want to do is win. That’s all I want to do. I don’t care about anything else. I want to help my team win and do what I can do and bring a championship to Dallas.”</blockquote><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">The difference between 2015 <a href="https://twitter.com/JaValeMcGee?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JaValeMcGee</a> versus the 2022 version (weight loss, going vegan, 3x NBA champ, gold medalist, and mindset).</p><p>“All I want to do now is win.” <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ToastToTipoff?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ToastToTipoff</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MFFL?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MFFL</a> <a href="https://t.co/ixbAAiXc9O">pic.twitter.com/ixbAAiXc9O</a></p><p>— Tamara Jolee (@TamaraJolee) <a href="https://twitter.com/TamaraJolee/status/1582147316550467585?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 17, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>McGee could not help but flex his credentials, which quite frankly, was a very cool move.

Be that as it may, you still can’t please them all. This was exactly the case for Dallas Mavericks big man JaVale McGee after he saw a side-by-side comparison of his virtual 2K face with that of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James.</p><p>To be fair, much like LeBron, Chris Paul, and Trae Young, McGee’s face looked really good in the sneak peek. Then again, you can’t blame the 7-foot center for feeling a bit <a href="https://twitter.com/JaValeMcGee/status/1553161151222988800?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1553161151222988800%7Ctwgr%5E4315e35080135c342cf37c43594f6d668b192a2d%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbleacherreport.com%2Fnba">aggrieved</a> by his facial expression on the graphic:</p><blockquote>“Damn….

While they did lose Jalen Brunson to the New York Knicks, Luka Doncic and Co. managed to sign two bigs in JaVale McGee and Christian Wood, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavs-news-christian-wood-breaks-silence-on-trade-to-dallas/">with the latter coming over to the Mavs in a trade</a> with the Houston Rockets. There is no question both of these players will make the Mavericks’ frontcourt much better and Dorian Finney-Smith recently discussed how excited he is to see them take the floor next season.</p><p><a href="https://www.mavs.com/finney-smithwantstitle/">Via Mavs.com:</a></p><p>“Now I feel like we’re going to take a huge leap in the rebounding department,” Dorian Finney-Smith said. “Hopefully they won’t take too many of my offensive rebounds.”</p><p>“I like to run in there and get a couple of tip dunks. Hopefully we’ll just be better in that area. We need that. I feel like we struggled on the backboards, so that’s going to be good, alongside with our defense.”</p><p>Dorian Finney-Smith also revealed how Wood is going to make the Mavs much more elite as a floor-spacer and pick-and-roll threat:</p><p>“Wood can shoot it, so I feel like he can space the floor and he can roll (to the basket on the pick-and-roll), too,” he said. “I feel like we just added another weapon.</p><p>“JaVale as well. He’s a great lob threat. And playing with (point guard) Luka (Doncic), I just think he’s going to make (McGee) look that much better.”</p><p>Dorian Finney-Smith and the Mavs ranked 24th in rebounds last season and were destroyed on the boards in the playoffs. Improving in that area was a major need this summer and needless to say, they addressed it.</p><p>It would be ideal for the Mavs to still find another guard to replace Brunson though because he was truly the second-best player on this roster behind Luka. But, the return of Tim Hardaway Jr should help.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
