Stanley blows. That's why no one picked him up. He should play in China the rest of his career.

 

Cold blooded SMH

 

Give me Biyombo.


Also Buha says we had interest in Saric before GS inked him.

Comparing/contrasting the two bigs

 

Biyombo would be awesome. Need the muscle and rim protection when AD sits or is out.

 

Biyombo is such a horrible ft shooter though. Teams will just hack him and put him at the line.

 

They won't. Even as a starter this season, he was only averaging 1.7 FTs a game. As a starter in the 20-21 season he averaged 1.9 FTs per game. If hacking him when his role is increased and he has to play more important minutes results in one trip to the line; I'm not concerned.

(Note: left out the FTAs out from two seasons ago because the sample size was only 3 games)

 

Did anyone watch the playoffs? Biyombo would be pretty much useless in the playoffs. SMH.. Lebron is bigger than him, he might block an occasional shot, that's about all that he can do. If Vogel didn't want him, Hamm shouldn't either. We run the same drop coverage at 5 on defense.

 

Blocks, rebounds, and screens. All vital skills for a big throughout all stages of the year. + Has a 7-6 wingspan.



AD needs help for the 82. For someone who constantly beats the dead horse of if Bron and AD aren't healthy, we're not going anywhere; I thought you'd get that.

And how can you argue Bismack won't play in the playoffs but be in favor of Wood? Please don't tell me you think someone who makes Malik Beasley look like a DPOY candidate would get any playoff minutes because Wood cannot defend a statue.

 

Nonsense..You are quick to talk about how depleted Phoenix was right?... Well they only played this dude 10min a game against Denver. He looked like a midget against Denver. FOH what that overhyped Defense stuff on Wood. His defensive rating was 113 last season, Vanderbilt's was 112. That's a bunch of BS hype man.

I'd rather keep Wenyen over Biyombo. Wood looked pretty good against us too.

But Harrell couldn't shoot though.

 

Wood has never been to the playoffs..so this can't play him in the playoffs stuff, is just more irrelevant chatter, that isn't based any kind of fact.

 

I think Tatum is still lacking the KILLER instinct at times, but boy oh boy... taking him from Boston would be so sweet.

 

I don't see an interesting upgrade from Gabriel to Biyombo.

Honestly I think that Wood could be an interesting add: he could be that PF with shooting range who's able to open the space for Davis. I know that he's not a defensive big man, but he has played in very bad teams and sometimes he's looked like a player with bad attitude in bad environment.

 

I like that he's religious

 

Nice bounce back game from Wemby. He might not bust afterall

 

Blazers really just trying to piss off Dame at this point

 

Slightly OT, but still... Wow.

 

The church girls might find him intriguing.

 

Wood vs. Biyombo. You know what you're getting with Biyombo; toughness, rim protection, a physical presence at the basket. He's only 30 too, I'd assumed he was older than that since he's been around for a while. Wood seems like an a****** but getting his level of talent for the minimum is pretty uncommon. We'd actually be able to see the AD with a stretch big lineup many of us (including myself) have wanted to see since Darvin took over, although our front court is so deep now (LeBron/AD/Rui/Vando/Prince/Hayes) I'm not sure how much of it we'd actually get. Wood is probably the better hedge against AD getting hurt given his superior talent and scoring prowess, but Biyombo fills the more glaring need I think.

I think I'll take Biyombo but it is a tough decision IMO. I'm surprised Phoenix doesn't want him back, Eubanks is more of an offensive center and I figured they'd want someone of Biyombo's archetype on the roster behind Ayton.
