Whats Biz worth in the market?
How much can a team expect to sign him for?

Is he completely useless as an undersized C?

Ive always liked him but havent seen him play a whole lot.
Jazz could use him off the bench.

We are beyond stupid.

This team is killing me, we are so, so dumb.

Best of luck biz, this franchise has been holding you back.

MJ and Cho are beyond useless.

Steve Clifford is the worst coach in the NBA.

Biyombo will never be a starter on a good NBA team. I honestly don't understand the love-affair with this dude. It's mind boggling.

Probably not, but that doesn't mean that he isn't better than our other options or that we should have let him walk for nothing. He has a role on a good team.

We'll see. I ultimately feel Biyombo's best years will be the Charlotte ones and those were utterly forgettable.

BIyombo could easily become a forgettable player if no team find space or a role for him on their roster this upcoming season. That's not to say anything bad about Biyombo, but a lot of this game is about chance opportunities and being fortunate that a coach believe in your abilities, and Biyombo has a exquisite/acquired taste from a coach's point of view

Do you not think that our front office would have tried to trade Biyombo prior to deciding to not extend him the QO? I can't imagine they would just let him expire out of spite or stupidity. Surely they would have looked to move him for an asset - even just a second rounder.

They fact that they couldn't likely shows his worth around the NBA.

Who would trade an asset for him when they know we don't know how to use him. There was no reason to trade with us because our coach was to dumb to make use of a player. Other teams would not have offered us anything unless we made the QO so why not wait and see what we do first.

Yeah, I've been enjoying the summer. Haven't spent that much time in the city.


I don't know what this means in Latvia. But in South Carolina it basically means you're just going out and getting **** up in the woods and having bonfires in the middle of a field.

I hope it means the same in Latvia.

Yeah, it's pretty much the same here. Only it's always been near some type of body of water, whether it's a lake, a river or the sea.

Yes, when our coach values the contributions of Maxiell over Biz that sends a pretty clear signal about just how clueless we were when it came time to maximize his value on the court.

It seems like it's tough to gauge the interest for him.

Lowe said something similar back in the season when he wrote about him as a potential free agency steal. So it seems like you can get him for 4mil per year.

At that price, he could be a real bargain after the TV money kicks in. Although it might not seem like it judging by the conventional basketball stats, Biz has actually improved nicely. You might call it baby steps but he definitely has staying power and would be a very good back-up center. Here's a write-up on him if you're interested in a breakdown of his last season:

I'm going to predict that Biz ends up with the Mavericks. With Chandler going to the Suns I'm betting that they will take a flyer on a young rim protector.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

Figured the same. I thought they'd whiff on Jordan and wasn't sure if Chandler would make it back. Now that he's gone I could totally see Biz landing there if Jordan stays.

May not be signed at all.

I think the Biz interest starts when DeAndre Jordan and Omer Asik get signed.

I think the clippers would be a great fit for him if they lose DeAndre(hopefully they do), Biyombo and Lance meshed better than any other pair on the Hornets this past season, add a PG that actually passes and sets up his teammates like Chris Paul and we might be seeing super saiyan Biz if he was actually on that team

Clippers and Mavs are good options. Knicks is a good option. LA Lakers would be my choice if I was Biz though or who ever offered the best contract.

If only there was a guy out there who was a good teammate and was getting better every year. Maybe someone who was a hard worker and filled his role well. Man if only that player existed.
