I don't see Biyombi being a Triangle player at alllllll.
Decent value for Toronto and it'll be nice for Derrick to have a familiar face to dunk on when we play Toronto. 
Probably not the same basketball IQ as Lopez but this is the guy I wanted for years. $3mil per versus $14mil per WOW
Biyombo is nowhere near the player Robin Lopez is. Maybe he can be someday. But he is not right now.

Why? He's not a smart player at all.
regardless, he is YOUNG, and improved a lot last season
He has the combination of mobility/length/strength/athleticism, and can improve, who already can REBOUND, BLOCK SHOTS, and score without plays called for him
Rather than using money on Derrick Williams 2year deal with a PLAYER OPTION
He has much more trade value than many of our players we signed at their deals
For anyone that thinks Biyombo should have made less, please look at our roster and the prices we paid for them...
With Koufus remaining, and other players that signed for less than Lopez like Brandon Wright/Ajinica/even ED Davis, though I would rather have Greg Monroe at a MAX than our roster
So you just want to slap players together? In another thread you are arguing about Phil not having a plan, adding a guy like Biyombo is exactly that.
Lopez is a legit starting C, those others guys you mention are not. It also paves way for Melo to the 4 Spot
doubt the Knicks will use Melo at the 4 full-time though if any

NOT at that price, while we wanted to pay Greg Monroe (only 3m more to start, while Monroe is already a 2nd tier OFF talent that could prove to be BETTER) less, but are willing to overpay for Lopez...
And signing AFFALO first, ruined any chance we had to sign 2 impact players
Monroe is a second tier OFF talent? No fucking way. Monroe IMHO is a duplication of Melo only not as good: good on offense but rest of lineup needs to compensate for his weaknesses on D and you can't have 2 of those in a starting lineup for a team that goes deep into playoffs.
Monroe >> Lopez
Lopez could be solid role player on a team that could defend/score with ALL STARS, we do not currently have such talent
While Monroe is much more skilled than Lopez, if we didn't want to overpay for Monroe that is fine, but overpaying for Lopez is a horrible move
A 4year deal on top of that with NO TEAM OPTION on final year while overpaying for his services when he can not match up vs SMALL BALL
Agree 100% but I am banking on us having enough offensive talent now with Melo, Affalo, KP & DW

yea he is a younger Samuel Dalembert with maybe a little more IQ. I just don't think there is a $8mil per year difference in Lopze and Biyombo and thats all Ron is saying. TBD i guess
Biyombo is terrible. They had Serge Ibaka in mind when he was drafted. He was a 7th overall pick.
biyombo reminds me of all the Jeff Adrien hype.
