With Nerlens Noel set to leave in free agency, and Steven Adams' own future in doubt, the Thunder will need to add an experienced center this summer. Jerami Grant could potentially offer cover as he did during the 17-18 campaign, although there is no doubting that Billy Donovan's team will need to bring in at least one traditional center.

McGee spent the 18-19 campaign with the Los Angeles Lakers and the veteran made a huge impact before the Lakers fell away after the turn of the year. In total, McGee played 75 times, averaging 12.0 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, and the 31-year-old offered immense value for his veteran's minimum salary.

Ultimately, McGee would be a step back from Steven Adams, although he is a much cheaper option that could make an impact in limited playing time.
