JaVale McGee’s Heartfelt Farewell To The Lakers Organization 

In these past few years, JaVale McGee has changed the narrative of his career form being the NBA’s laughing stock – mainly due to Shaqtin’ A Fool – to becoming the starting center on a championship team. More so, McGee is a three-time champion now.

A fourth ring though seems a little out of reach now, after he’s been traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers, in a trade that sent Jordan Bell and Alfonzo McKinnie to the Lakers, and, more importantly, saved the needed cap space to sign Marc Gasol.

JaVale though doesn’t seem to bear a grudge, and felt like it was his responsibility to express his gratitude towards the Lakers in a heartfelt Instagram post:

“I want to thank Rob Pelinka and Jeanie Buss for the opportunity to be the starting center of the World Champion Lakers for the past two years. We set out with one goal in mind and accomplished it!”
