Center Biyombo returns to Spurs on 1-year deal

Free agent center Bismack Biyombo, who averaged 5.1 points and 5.6 rebounds last season, has signed a one-year deal to return to the Spurs.

Solid depth. As a starter he was obviously overmatched but he provided some quality minutes. As a third string C he is a great emergency option imo

I won't say I'm unhappy with this, but it probably means they see Olynyk as more of a PC and not a third string C.

 

[BacktoBasics]

Great signing. Can fill in nicely when needed.

Or they plan to use his salary in a trade at some point

I liked him last year. He’s a really good rebounder and a rim protector.

 

[ginobilized]

Excellent! This gives us a ton of combos and possible future trade ballast if needed. Biyombo rounds out the team heading into training camp if I’m remembering correctly.
Wemby, Kornet, Olynyk and Biyombo is such an improvement over last season’s big man rotation to start the season. Our defense and rebounding should be on the rise.

We staaaacked

the last piece of the LOBT puzzle tbh...

Spurs got their next Gorgui Dieng

the big mac bodega is here to stay

 

[Ocotillo]

Hmm, non-guaranteed huh.

 

[poopbox]

Non guaranteed so would be surprised if he is on the roster for game 1

 

[The Truth #6]

I liked him last year given the context. He does basic center stuff well enough. But less needed now. Still, I like it.

Game 1 wouldn’t surprise me, but game 82 would. They usually leave a roster spot open,but I guess a semi-useful guy on a non guaranteed deal would be as good.

 

[ird80]

They dumped osifo for him

 

[Robz4000]

Glad we got him back tbh. Great as an emergency big.

Welcome back granny Bymbo

 

[pope]

No harm in keeping him around as 3rd string depth

 

[LeBowen]

Welcome back granny Bymbo

He just turned 33 last month.
One of those players who should be way older than he actually is.

Olynyk is more than a year older than Biyombo and Barnes is just a few months younger.

He was decent in spot minutes last year. Good vet and locker room presence, and he seems to genuinely enjoy being here.

Not bad for the 14th/15th guy. If he actually starts getting rotation minutes, that means things have gone off the rails.

Pretty much. He's a perfectly capable 3rd big who can fill in occasionally in garbage time or if someone is injured.

Glad to have him back.

Is Gorgui still on the staff?

 

[timtonymanu]

Yeah, no problem with bringing him back. It's wild to think he was drafted a couple picks ahead of Nephew.
