3. Taj Gibson

This versatile big man has played 10 seasons in the NBA. While Taj Gibson has never been considered an All-Star, he has remained consistently one of the more favorable forwards in the league.

Playing with the Chicago Bulls for his first eight seasons, Gibson earned his role as a longterm starter. Averaging 10.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game across his peak seasons, Gibson is talented enough to contribute to a title contending team.

Right now, his talents are being wasted on an underperforming Minnesota Timberwolves team. However, if he joined the Golden State Warriors, his presence off the bench would be more than welcome.

Gibson isn’t going to shake things up too drastically. But, his relentless attack on the glass and defensive capabilities make him a valuable player in today’s NBA. The Dubs should be looking to sign Gibson if they can.
