According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Hornets have signed Taj Gibson to a one-year, $3.3 million contract.
While Gibson’s days of legitimate fantasy relevance are in the rearview mirror, this is a good move by the Hornets. The rebuilding franchise needed an “adult in the room,” a player who could positively influence the locker room, and adding Gibson addresses that issue. He spent last season with the Knicks and Pistons, appearing in 20 games (16 for New York).
