I think the Bucks were thinking ahead of the curb signing him to a declining contract when the TV deal was around the corner.

Plus, it would hard to defend Henson's contract anyway if the cap was what it was prior. A bench player who isn't a 6th man caliber making 1/5 of team payroll is pretty bad no matter how much you justify it. Bucks fans would've been all over management to move his massive contract.

Also, how does a player get better with bad hands and fouls? He's had those troubles for every year of his career for that to drastically change. That's like asking Javale McGee to play smarter. This deep into your career you are who you are.

Give biz a chance to show what he can do under our new management


You think he miraculously earns his salary just because there are a few new faces in the offices next to his gym? No way. His contract is a mistake which should be fixed by Weltman ASAP.

Fix how? Biz will prove you wrong

Fix by shipping his ass out and limit the damages. He will prove me wrong by being able to stay on the court through at least 30 minutes and getting 15 rebounds and >2 blocks, while playing elite defense. It should be required from the guy earning 17 million. I'll tell you what - he won't do that.

Technically I think that goes to Bobby Bonilla and the NY Mets.

In the NBA though, Gilbert Arenas' was arguably much worse, at least Biyombo isn't likely to bring firearms t the gym and threaten his teammates. At least he doesn't seem that unhinged.

It's not even one of the 5 worst contracts in the NBA right now.

For entertainment sake let's name 5 worse than Biz's. We can all agree on Noah. Deng for sure. Allen Crabbe's is bad.

Biz and T-Mo's contracts are equally bad IMO.

Does Mozgov really deserve a hip nickname? T-Mo?

I think if we give him any nickname at all it should be something he's earned, like" Overpaid Stiff" or something along those lines.

People are still seriously talking about a signing that the previous management made? Also, why are we so worried about cap space when we all agree no one is going to want to come here until we find a young star? It's unbelievable to me that we have to complain about every little thing. My goodness.

Mozgov's is way worse. He can hardly get on the floor.
Noah, Deng, Mozgov, Parsons, and Crabbe probably seeing as he's the worst defender on his team full of awful defenders.

It's not the worst contract, but it's definitely a bad one. His deal and Augustin's contract are going to hamstring the Magic's flexibility in free agency over the next few years unless they move them.

I was disappointed at the time we went for Jerome James type of FA, but I've moved on since. Seeing how things are going, it's not like we'll need cap to sign some elite FA anytime soon. At least he is humble and good teammate.

It's bad if you intend to keep him as a $17M backup. Even if we decide he's not worth that money, if we want any hope of moving him without having to give up D'Angelo Russell to get a team to swallow his contract, we've gotta showcase him.

We need to be cap cautious because we've got $64M tied up in Biz, Fournier, Vuc, Ross and Augustin over the next 2 seasons - and Elf and AG are up for extension net summer.

Having $28M tied up in the C spot just isn't smart with how either of them are currently performing. Factoring in that Vuc is a FA in 2 seasons, and he'll likely want to get paid and want to be guaranteed a starting spot, I think he's just as necessary to move as Biyombo - whether Biyombo stays or goes.

Bismack Biyombo was the 44th highest-paid player in 2016-17
