Why not swing the fences on Biyombo and add some reliable backups?

    Sorry, I only read the title and lost it at the thought that Biyombo was "swinging for the fences". LOL!

    He's just to damned expensive for a backup...a high risk for that kind of money...players are getting paid large contracts these days for potential...used to be you had to prove yourself.

    Just go after Marvin Williams and Jeremy Lin

    Sorry, but I cant take this seriously. Swing for the fences on a complete unproven player because he had a couple of great rebounding games?
    That's not swinging for the fences, that's gambling at tall odds. Unless he is willing to take far less than what has been projected...
    Much rather see someone come in that adds stability and proven play.
