A Chicago Bulls favorite has signed with a new team.
Taj Gibson spent eight seasons of his 16-season career with the Chicago Bulls. While some Bulls fans may have hoped he'd return to the team and mentor the young roster, he's reportedly taken his talents elsewhere.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski, free agent Taj Gibson has signed a one-year $3.3 million deal with the Charlotte Hornets. Wojnarowski also stated that Gibson will be brought to mentor a very young Charlotte Hornets locker room. Free agent center Taj Gibson has agreed on a one-year, $3.3 million deal with the Charlotte Hornets, Mark Bartelstein oftells ESPN. GM Jeff Peterson and coach Charles Lee bring on Gibson, 39, to mentor in a young locker room.Last season, Taj Gibson spent his time between both the New York Knicks and the Detroit Pistons. He only played a grand total of 20 games between both teams, averaging 1.7 points and 1.9 rebounds on 40.5% shooting from the field.
Even though Gibson's numbers aren't very high, it's a testament to his usefulness as a player that he's continued to have an NBA career heading into season 16. There are very few players with the longevity that Gibson has, and it speaks volumes to his character to continue getting hired by NBA teams.
