Before his move to the Los Angeles Lakers last summer, McGee had stated his desire to remain with the Golden State Warriors for the rest of his career. Ultimately, McGee moved teams just a few days after making these remarks, although much of this was due to the veteran's desire to play alongside LeBron James.

Despite leaving the Warriors last summer, McGee continues to enjoy a good relationship with his former teammates, and this was on show earlier this year when the 31-year-old collected his Championship ring at Oracle Arena.

Upon the expiration of his Lakers deal this summer, McGee is likely to be once again available on a veterans deal, and with the Warriors already well into the luxury tax, McGee is the sort of player that the Warriors will be targeting. Steve Kerr has also made it clear that DeMarcus Cousins will be leaving the team this summer for financial reasons, and this ultimately leaves the door open for McGee's return.
