Ibn Battuta 127 Report post Posted July 24, 2016 Whoever it was that told me Biyombo wasn't a max deal, I stand corrected on that statement. However, the point remains he was well overpaid for. How this fanbase complains about Otis over spending on Rashard Lewis, a vital piece to our NBA Finals team, but then thinks the money we spent on a 5 / 8 guy is warranted is beyond me. It's because the expectations of this franchise are at an all time low. In no other offseason would we be cheering for Bismack Biyombo. After the last 4 years of "organic growth" we end up with a career backup. Bravo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted July 24, 2016 This is how delusional we've become. You're talking about Biyombo having a DPOY impact. Just no dude. We'll be lucky if Biyombo is half that.

Ibn Battuta 127 Report post Posted July 24, 2016 He sure dominated a few playoff games this year Even if you believe that, is he better than Jonas Valanciunas? Because Toronto must be crazy to let dominate Biyombo go and not ship out JV. But this is what I mean about the expectations. We've been so bad that we're signing players based on a small sample of games. Maybe you would have a different attitude had JV not gone down with injury.

Biyombo has always shown he can be an elite defensive player. He just did it with a bigger role on an bigger stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's cuz he a career back up. And to your point his bird rights don't mean squat because he was always going to be a backup in Toronto. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
