According to Mobile & App Cleveland Cavaliers is trading for Chicago Bulls' power forward Taj Gibson. Gibson would be a great fit for Cavs and a potential addition to the team's defense because the player has excellent frontcourt defensive skills.
Taj Gibson averaged 8.6 points and 6.9 rebounds per game in the last NBA season. By looking at Gibson's performance he could potentially add more points to Cleveland Cavaliers to put up high scores.
