hahahahahah

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.

We really do tank the value of all our players. Playing a scrub like Maxiell over Biz and Vonleh gives the impression those guys are worthless, when in reality both of them easily outperform Max anytime they see the floor. In Biz's case when he was in the starting lineup having a chance to consistently impact games he looked good.

It happens all the time on teams with bad coaching and bad player development. Shumpert and JR Smith had their value severely depressed as role players on a bad Knicks team. They got traded to Cleveland and just like that Shump gets $10m a year and JR is a relatively valuable streak shooter again.

Well played sir, well played.

Who thinks theres any chance of Biz coming back after not getting any suitors in FA? Im really hoping, but its so unlikely in my eyes. Other question is: does the FO want to get hom back for a cheap contract?

If it is between a Maxiell level player and him I hope they choose him.

You'll get Robert Sacre and you'll like it. Vet savvy for days. Dude earns his minutes in this league like a pro's pro.

Since we seem to have a thing for white bigs now we could give Jeff Withey a shot. Nola rescinded his QO to pay Asik and Ajinja so he's unrestricted and still only 24. He isn't much of a rebounder but he's decently skilled and a good rim protector.

[MasterIchiro]

Some wanted to throw $9 million on this guy lol

And the ones who did constantly insist they're right and rarely diverge from their narrative.

This really makes no sense. Baynes is 28 and averaged 6.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and .3 blocks. Biz is 22 and averaged 4.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks.

This is how I know our FO is just complete garbage. It taints all of our players. We had to tie Hendo to Vonleh (didn't want Zeller) to get rid of him, take back Hawes for Lance and now Biyombo's value is so low he's going to end up playing for a contract on someone's summer league team. Hell, the only reason Vonleh had any value is because he didn't hardly play at all.

Vonleh, Zeller, Biz (and MKG) all have something in common other than their raw athleticism.

I don't think anyone was saying that we should offer Biz a 9 million dollar a year deal. People thought it was possible someone would offer him that.

Other than maybe Biz they all have in common that they were and still are the correct pick for our team at those spots.

The fact that they played for the biggest idiot coach in the league who doesn't know how to develop talent nor does he know how to coach. Those guys along with drafting Winslow could have turned into a solid young core with a real coach and a patient front office

[NCHeels2008]

the Lakers seem like a likely destination at this point

[fatlever]

Lakers, Knicks, Blazers and Clippers all seem like solid fits for Biz.

[Liver_Pooty]

Lol. It would be our luck that Biyombo goes to Portland, and him and Vonleh tear the league up.

Not likely to happen, but it'd be humerous

Over half the league has use for Biz. I'm hoping against hope that the point of not extending a QO is so that we can sign him to a tiny deal worth less than the QO.

[HornetJail]

Spoiler:

Who is that guy? I know we had a guy that looked like him last year, but that guy could barely get up high enough to reach the rim.

[abuzz]

Did Charlotte pass on Tobias Harris (re-upped with Orlando 4yr 64 million) to choose Biz?
