Cleveland Cavaliers: Damian Jones

A former two-time NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors is only 28 years old and does the job as a potential third big for the Cs, Damian Jones' best season to date was in the 2021-22 season where he averaged 8.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and a block in 18 minutes a game for the Sacramento Kings. He has played for the Warriors, Hawks, Suns, Lakers, Kings, Jazz, and Cavs.

This past season Damian Jones became an afterthought for the Cavs averaging 2.7 points and 1.6 rebounds in under seven minutes a game. Survey says the big man would rather bet on himself to go to a spot where he could get more playing time and add to his ring collection. Having players on the end of the bench who know what it takes to be on a championship team is invaluable. The Boston Celtics just need a big who can protect the paint, catch lobs, rebound, and set screens. Jones checks all those boxes.
