NBA Trade Rumors: 3 Players who could surprisingly leave the Los Angeles Lakers next month

#1 JaVale McGee

New York Knicks v Los Angeles Lakers

JaVale McGee has forged a successful career since being selected as the 18th overall by the Wizards in the 2008 NBA draft. The center has had successful stints with the Wizards, Nuggets and most recently the Warriors, with whom he won back to back Championships.

McGee signed a one-year $2,393,887 contract with the Lakers over the summer and the 30-year-old is currently having one of the best seasons of his career, averaging 10.9 points and 6.9 rebounds per game.

Nevertheless, despite being one of the Lakers best players this season, McGee's long-term future is still in serious doubt. He will once again become a free agent this summer, and with Anthony Davis likely to arrive in the summer of 2019, McGee may decide that his future lies elsewhere. Ultimately, if the Lakers are offered the chance to sign a second All-Star before the February trade deadline, don't be surprised if the team are willing to include the impressive McGee.
