Bismack Biyombo is still only 24.

Maybe I am missing something but isn't this extremely high price for Biyombo?

It is.

Bradley is a free agent after next season and will be looking for max dollars.

A willingness to absorb Biyombo's contract into our cap space and send nothing back to Orlando. I think that is a fair offer and is enough for Orlando.

Biyombo wasn't exactly a raging success in Orlando. Biyombo wasn't able to play alongside Vucevic. Biyombo then got a trial as the starting center but lost his spot to Vucevic late in the season. Orlando are stuck with an awful big contract for a backup center.

A willing to take on that contract. That is enough. No need to send talent out.

Yeah, you might be right. I watched that transpire myself. Orlando had one of the strangest off seasons last summer when they put together 3 big men who couldn't play together.

No way Biyombo is 24. And even if he were, the whole trade proposal is just absurd.

We should have signed Biz in a multi-year contract back in 2015 when he was released by the Hornets. As far as we know the C's were never interested in him and he agreed with the Raps for 3!!! million per year. Now it's too late and it's not worth it anymore.

He would be in the Jordan Mickey role on our team with our coach and system.  And he's overpaid and he sucked on the Magic last year.

I mean, the guy is 24.


Averaged 50% from the field, 7 rebounds, a block and 6 points in 20 minutes. Locked in at $17 million for the next 4 years. I think he is someone worth exploring if the Celtics can't sign anyone.

With zizic on the way, I do not see this as a good investment. Biyombos offense is world class bad. He is the epitome of what CBS doesnt like in his centers.

Yeah sure. By the way Thon Maker is 20, Ibaka is 27 and Ilyasova is 30.

Better to keep your powder dry rather than waste precious cap space on Bismack.
