CHO knows Biyombo better than anyone, They had him for four years and let him walk for nothing last year. TOR finally signed him on July 18, 2015 for a two year contract at $3 million per year with the second year a player option. I know the cap has gone up since last summer, but not be 5x - 7x and it's not like Biyombo had a break out season in TOR. He was his usual self, a back-up big man averaging 5.5 ppg, 8.0 rpg and 1.6 bpg. Our own Ed Davis put up 6.5 ppg, 7.4 bpg and 0,9 bpg, and he did it in fewer MPG and more efficiently (.611 FG% vs. .542 FG%, PER = 18.7 vs, PER = 14.9). Why would we pay Bismack Biyombo $15 - $20 million per year when we already have Ed Davis, a better player who plays the same role, locked up for two more years at $7 million per season? Forget a home run, signing Biyombo wouldn't even be a single. It would be like an attempted sacrifice bunt where the lead runner is thrown out on a fielder's choice. BNM
He won't be an improvement over Plumlee and Davis and he will not be a tradeable asset in the future. Do not want.
There is the room exception, which is technically a form of the MLE, that is available to cap-space teams.
