JaVale McGee has expressed his interest in staying with the Golden State Warriors next season, but after they signed Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston to three-year deals and used their mid-level exception to sign Nick Young (along with re-signing Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant), they don't have the cap space to offer him anything more than the veterans minimum.
As such, McGee is looking for a pay day elsewhere, and has met with the Los Angeles Clippers and Sacramento Kings this week.

It remains to be seen what other teams are offering McGee, if anything. Since he has said he would like to stay with the Warriors, these meetings could also be a move to try and get more than the minimum from Golden State.
McGee proved to be a valuable player for the Warriors this year, averaging 6.1 points and 3.2 rebounds in less than 10 minutes per game.
