Gibson joins Butler as the latest ex-Bull to play under Thibs in Minnesota, and it makes a crowded front court even more crowded with Karl-Anthony Towns, Gorgui Dieng, Cole Aldrich, and more still on the roster. It should be interesting to see how the team handles this big-heavy roster.
USA Today's Sam Amick is also reporting that in Year 2 of the deal doesn't contain either a player option or a team option.
Taj Gibson's two year, $28 million deal with Minnesota has no option on the second year, I'm told.

Gibson last played for the Oklahoma City Thunder after being traded from the Bulls prior to the 2016-17 NBA Trade Deadline.
