Probasketball talk is also reporting it. NBA teams can only put up $500K toward a buyout. Bismack's buyout is more. I think he should report and "accidentally" throw the ball out of bounds every other play. Spain might be quicker to let him out of his deal.

As his future teammates donned uniforms for pictures at Charlotte Bobcats media day Thursday, rookie Bismack Biyombo used the other half of the gym to practice assaults on the rim.

That's as close as Biyombo can get to a practice, while representatives negotiate a separation from Fuenlabrada, the Spanish team that holds his rights."It's torn him apart," coach Paul Silas said of Biyombo having to sit and watch a week of training camp.

"It's hard for him and us. I want to teach him - get his shot right and all those things - because I think he can be a major part of this ball club, a major part of us winning."

Silas told a great story about Biyombo's stamina and concentration from Biyombo's pre-draft workout. The Bobcats ask big men to dunk continuously at the same rim until they're too exhausted to do it correctly.

Typically a big man dunks about 30 times before he gets tired and sloppy. After Biyombo reached 73 dunks, Silas said, "That's enough."

"Bam! Bam! Bam!" Silas recalled. "He could have gotten to 100."

Interesting..then again the observer isn't always accurate.

I'm not trying to sound stupid fellas, but I guess I'm a little frustrated over this. What would happen to the Bobcats if they at least let him run in practices but not be active in games? Would this Spanish team even know if he was practicing?

I just find it hard to believe that something like this can't be worked out. Bismack isn't allowed to "retire" from the other league?

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
