Free agent center Bismack Biyombo has agreed to a two-year, $6 million deal with the Toronto Raptors, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

 

 

Good for Biz

Happy for Biz.

We couldn't afford to give him that deal? Seriously if that is all he is getting paid he should still be on this team. I swear our front office sucks.

We can't give him that deal bc we are too tied up in giving Marvin $7 million a year to average 7 points per game. This team makes the Oakland Raiders look smart.

#1 reason we should FIRE Clifford and Cho 2-3 MONTHS ago.

Bargain of FA so far.

...anand Toronto just got him for 3 mil per year.

No matter what anyone says, no one can convince me that letting Biz walk, especially for that price, was anything but moronic.

After much time reflecting, I am pissed at the Hornets FO for not resigning Biz. Biz with Frank would have been amazing. Frank's average defense with Al's subpar does not make sense. Biz is not a primary ball handler/scorer but someone who cleans the boards and who has above average defensive abilities. How about we trade Al to Toronto for Biz so we can free up cap space? If we are forming a more versatile and athletic roster then Al should be moved now.

I loved BIZ but the problem was never defense we needed scoring punch and we getting ready for next year with all the cap we are going to have no telling what might might happen.

Biz was not re-signed because in order to do that we would have had to forfeit one of our exceptions. Defense aside, the need at backup point right now is far greater than a rim protector off the bench when we'vealready loaded the frontcourt.

Yeah, it sucks that Al is still here, but they're banking on him at least making somewhat of a resurgence. His next contract depends on it. I think the FO realizes how and why he underperformed last season and if he can't turn it around at the very least I see us moving on next season if not dealing him at the deadline. The FO is very tight lipped so who knows if we've tried to do that this season?

Hopefully in the form of the FO getting their head out of their own butt. How much are we predicted to have next season? I am going to look and see if any good names will be out there for us next year.

I think we avoid making big splashes next season save for re-signing MKG in anticipation of a possible Curry free agency. If that falls through we would be looking at yet another rebuild. And who knows what happens if we miss the playoffs THIS year?

This is why getting little to no future return for the assets we had was a bad move regardless of how much better the roster is right now. We don't have very much youth to fall back on going forward.
