San Miguel Beermen fans are buzzing about the possibility of JaVale McGee joining the team as their import for the upcoming 2024-2025 PBA Commissioners Cup. Although this rumor has surfaced in fan groups and forums on Facebook, no concrete sources have verified the connection. With McGee currently a free agent in the NBA, he is technically available, but there’s no clear indication that he would choose to play in the Philippines over potential NBA or other international opportunities.
As one of the wealthiest and most successful franchises in the PBA, San Miguel Beermen has the resources to attract prominent players. They’re known for making high-profile signings, and in recent years, the team’s ambition to secure championships has led them to consider notable imports to complement their lineup. This season, the Beermen are reportedly eyeing McGee as a backup plan if Bennie Boatwright, their current import, is unable to return to full health.
However, McGee, a three-time NBA champion, has not previously played in international leagues and might still be holding out for NBA opportunities. Over his NBA career, he’s built a reputation as a reliable veteran big man and could attract NBA teams in need of a rim protector and athletic center. For McGee, the decision to move to an international league like the PBA would mark a significant shift, as the PBA, though competitive and financially supportive, is still relatively uncharted territory for players of his stature and experience.
Though the thought of McGee in a Beermen jersey has stirred excitement, it remains a speculative move. Until more official sources confirm any discussions between McGee and San Miguel, fans should take this possibility with a grain of salt. Nonetheless, his signing would undoubtedly make waves in the PBA and reinforce San Miguel’s commitment to staying competitive in the league.
