Bismack Biyombo was recently waived by the Memphis Grizzlies and is currently a free agent that is available to be signed by any team in the league.
The 13-year NBA veteran had been a productive role player, averaging 5.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 blocks per contest while shooting 56.3% from the field in 30 games (27 starts).
I believe an excellent landing spot for Biyombo would be the Golden State Warriors.
Biyombo is an excellent rim protector, and could likely be signed for the veteran's minimum, so there would be no risk for Golden State.
Right now, the Warriors do not have a lot of size on their roster, and their tallest player is Dario Saric (6-10).
The 31-year-old would be an intriguing addition to the team's bench (or even starting lineup).

The Warriors are one of the worst teams in the league at defending the rim, as they rank 29th in the NBA for blocks per game (3.9).
Biyombo has averaged at least 1.1 blocks per contest in ten out of his 13 seasons in the league.
He was the seventh pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, and his career averages are 5.1 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per contest while shooting 53.5% from the field in 829 regular season games.
He's also appeared in 40 NBA playoff games and reached the Eastern Conference Finals with the Toronto Raptors in 2016.
