I understand what you're getting at. I don't have a problem with Biyombo. I don't think Phil will spend on him tho. He's got young and cheap options to choose from. Phil will likely focus on guards n wings, so I don't really see a high likelihood of this kind of move happening. Even tho he's a good hustle player.

the young cheap options will give you what you pay for, the KOQ's the seraphins, the admundsons, those are players you can close your eyes and pick who come off the bench first, none of the cheap types are specialist, they're sometime guys. We need a big that has that energy like camby was.

I hope you don't think a couple of speedy guards who can shoot is all we need

we pretty much need a whole new everything.

However, with the limited resources at hand, I think the greatest focus this summer is the back court. Would love to get a guy like Biyombo, but we also have Hernangomez who has to come over at some point. This coming season makes the most sense.

Center Bismack Biyombo, a breakout star in the postseason, is expected to decline his player option and also become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. Ujiri conceded that re-signing both Biyombo and DeRozan might not be possible.

"But honestly, it's our jobs. We have to figure it out," he said

This is the type of player that KP and melo needs around them, dirty work rodman types.

I've been saying for months that we need a true big man that can come in for Rolo and rebound and play defense and of course Biyombo does all that but there's no way that Phil would or even should spend the kind of money it's gonna take to get Biyombo. He needs to get a big man that can do those things but for a much better contract than what Biyombo is gonna get so we can have money to spend at our biggest needed positions which we all know is guards and even another SF which i'm hoping will be either L.Thomas or D.Williams or even better both of them.

I get your point, Biyombo is not going to get no outrageous offers off of no decent playoff run, and i trust phil (as he has shown outside of melo) that he won't break the bank for no one.

He may say sign a similar deal to AA and Dwill, No ones really signing role players like him for more than 2 or 3 yrs. with Cap set to explode even higher next season, you could expect a lot of player options.

Seraphin still thinks he's better then he is, he's concern with his offense more than his defense and rebounding.
