JaVale McGee takes note of Max Kellerman’s shade

JaVale McGee may have a chip on his shoulder entering next season.

McGee responded on Twitter to a remark from ESPN personality Max Kellerman, albeit a week later.

Kellerman criticized the Los Angeles Lakers’ free agency moves after missing out on Kawhi Leonard. He jabbed them for spending $12 million on Kentavious Caldwell-Pope ($8 million) and McGee ($4 million).

Know what Jerry West doesn’t do? Spend 12mil per year of cap space on Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and JaVale McGee.

McGee responded a week after the tweet was sent, saying he had taken a mental note.

If McGee is going to use this to drive him, that will be welcomed by Lakers fans.

I actually agree with Kellerman on this one. Those two players are hardly remarkable for $12 million.
