The Mavericks are expected to stretch-and-waive McGee on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Per Keith Smith of Spotrac.com, McGee is owed approximately $11.7 million over the final two years of the three-year deal he signed with Dallas last offseason. To facilitate McGee's impending release, Dallas will stretch that amount over five years, meaning the center will make around $2.3 million annually through 2027-28. McGee appeared in 42 games (seven starts) last season and averaged just 4.4 points, 2.5 rebounds and a career-low 0.6 blocks in 8.5 minutes per contest. Once the transaction is completed, the 35-year-old will be free to entertain offers from other teams.
