Seems like it was Lance Stephenson that occasionally had some good chemistry with Biz.

Mitch has now acquired 6 picks. He's positioned to deal unwanted contracts whenever the optimal situation presents itself. I think once Kawhi is moved, the cap teams will relent and take on salary in exchange for assets. Getting Biz and shifting Kaminsky to backup center frees up Hernangomez. He cost two picks so he might be someone Mitch can attach to one of the bad contracts. It's nice to have depth because it provides flexibility so when Mitch frees cap needed for Kemba, it won't require desperation.

He went before our pick though.

I think all of Mitch's moves have been decent to good except the Tony Parker signing. I'm still a bit worried about Miles Bridges, but I still think it was a solid pick, especially after factoring in we got two 2nds out of it. We might have missed on Kevin Knox, though.

My recollection is his basketball skills were pretty ordinary, as were his hands (especially his hands) and his touch, and nothing about his game ever really developed.
He wasn’t quick footed enough to keep up with mobile PF’s and was too small to defend big bulky C’s.
He played with great effort and enthusiasm and was super easy to root for, but his actual impact on the game was more negatively than positive.
It’ll be nice to have him in town again I guess, but I think I’d rather 1 more season of Howard (or us buying Howard out) than 2 more season of Biz and a couple of 2nds.
