There is a former Lakers big man who could catch lobs from Dončić who could be available to play a role off the bench.
JaVale McGee is playing in Puerto Rico and is someone who might be open to a return to Los Angeles. He suited up for the team for two seasons in 2018-19 and 2019-20 and even appeared in 14 playoff games during its 2020 championship run
That was the third title of McGee’s career after he previously won two with the Golden State Warriors.
He is certainly playoff-tested with 74 postseason games on his resume and could provide energy in short spurts off the bench. He appeared in 46 games for the Sacramento Kings last season and shot 59.8 percent from the field.
It would be yet another stop for the veteran journeyman, but he is a familiar name for the Lakers, played in the postseason alongside James in the past, previously played with Dončić in Dallas and would provide some much-needed depth for the stretch run.
