They were expected to make the same impact this season, with Pachulia starting and McGee providing high-energy minutes off the bench.
But the emergence of rookie Jordan Bell has changed those plans.
McGee, who averaged 9.6 minutes in 77 games last season, has seen his playing time drop to 8.1 minutes per game this season. Pachulia has been the starter when he's been healthy, After missing seven games with a shoulder injury, he was active on Monday, but was replaced by Bell in the starting lineup and did not enter the game against the Cavs. Head coach Steve Kerr noted Monday that the matchup will determine if Bell or Pachulia gets the start going forward.
With their playing time dwindling, it appears the Warriors are shopping to the two big men.
Golden State Warriors
According to The Athletic, the Milwaukee Bucks have checked in with the Warriors about a center and the two teams have talked about Pachulia and McGee. A deal is not considered imminent, according to the report.
In the Warriors' 99-92 win over the Cavs, Bell played 26 minutes while David West filled the back-up center role and played 13 minutes off the bench.
