With the Golden State Warriors signing Kevin Durant, David West and Zaza Pachulia in free agency, it meant plenty of their own were going to find new homes elsewhere.

One of those that found a new home was forward Harrison Barnes, who signed with the Dallas Mavericks. It appears that another has found a home as well.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski, center Festus Ezeli has signed a two-year deal worth $16 million with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Although he had a poor performance in the NBA Finals, Portland is a great fit for Ezeli and the price tag that they were able to land on him on is good value. He will be able to provide another interior presence on the roster and the Trail Blazers checked off one of their offseason items, which was to add another center.

The Trail Blazers made their big move of free agency by inking Evan Turner to a massive deal, but this could end up being their best move of free agency yet.
