Free agent JaVale McGee, who has maintained he’d love to return to the Warriors, will reportedly meet with another of Golden State’s division rivals on Thursday.

One day after sitting down with the Los Angeles Clippers, ESPN reported that the Sacramento Kings will host the 29-year-old center, who would be facing another minimum contract with the salary cap-strapped Warriors.

An interesting takeaway from McGee’s scheduled meeting with the Kings is that perhaps his “feud” with Shaquille O’Neal really is in the past. After all, O’Neal is a minority owner of the Kings.

The Kings, whose meeting with Andre Iguodala may or may not have extracted more money out of the Warriors when they signed him, can offer McGee more than a minimum deal. However, McGee would likely still fill a backup role with the Kings, whose frontcourt includes recently signed Zach Randolph and presumed starting center Willie Cauley-Stein.

Sacramento also has Kosta Koufos, Georgios Papagiannis and Skal Labissiere as other options at center.

McGee had a surprisingly big impact on the Warriors this past season, becoming a favorite target for lobs and an effective shot blocker while playing a career-low 9.6 minutes per game.
