Toronto and Biz

[Smitty77]

If Toronto pays Derozan the max, which would start at $25 million, they would be at around $85 million with ONLY 10 players signed!!

They simply could NOT afford to match Biz if we were to offer a starting contract at 7 to 9 million starting.

I would MUCH rather pay him that at age 23 than pay an aging Howard $25 million per!!

Thoughts?

I would LOVE Bismack Attack, especially if we could pair him with a stretch 4 (Bender, Ellenson, KO). How much do you think he would cost?

25 boards and 4 blocks in Game 3

I want Bismack Biyombo on the Boston Celtics. If Danny can get this kid, I will consider it a successful summer for the Celtics regardless of what else he does.

26 boards and don't forget the pretty assist (Biz does not get many of those:-))) and those 7 gritty points.

Every time I see his first name, I get a craving for a bismarck. 

[gamehead36]

He was a machine tonight! I'm mildly skeptical he's only 23 though.

Every time I see his first name, I get a craving for a bismarck. 

I desire Pepto Bismol myself. And I am all about him being a part of the Cs, although his asking price is going up exponentially with every game at this point.

[Ogaju]

is he a restricted or unrestricted free agent?

His game reminds me of Big Ben and Dennis Rodman. Pure grit and hustle.

Charlotte made a BIG mistake letting him go. No surprise there considering Michael Jordan is their general manager. He and Kaminsky would have been a very intriguing front court moving forward.

I would be all for the Celtics offering the kid a 4 year/40M contract, although he may be able to get more elsewhere considering big guys who can defend are a scarce commodity in todays NBA.

Heh... i still like Biyombo.   Hilarious how much flack I got this year for wanting to sign him and now he's contributing as the starting center for a ECF team.

Seriously though... having been able to see WCS for a full year and knowing that they are the same age (WCS with his 4 years of College ball and Biyombo with his 4 years of learning on the Bobcats), what's the conclusion on how much disparity there is between those two players? 

WCS averaged 7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1 block with 56% shooting and 64% from the line in 21.4mpg.

Biyombo averaged 5.5 points, 8 rebounds, 1.6 blocks with 54% shooting and 63% from the line in 22mpg.

Roughly the same, but of course WCS was playing for a bottomfeeder and Biyombo contributed to a 56 win ECF team. 

My point was that if Biyombo was 80% of what WCS was, we'd be better off signing him for chump change as opposed to giving up 5 first rounders to trade up for WCS.

he is a nice player, but we would have to overpay him, i would rather have amir, he would be cheaper

[mr. dee]

Some stupid team that have no chance of winning a ring will offer him a max money. Just like how Chandler got paid after winning a championship with the Mavs.

We could probably keep Amir and sign Bismack this summer. I think Amir is retainable if we decline his contract and offer him somewhere between 5-7 million.
