bismack news?

[kman72]

any news on his contract negotiations? how soon he can practice?

[Kakarot]

I dont even think he's going to be able to play here in the states this year. I could be wrong, though..

[cdandi1]

he's asking for a release from his contract in court on December 19th.

Okay dumb question time. What would actually be the consequence if he stepped foot on the court and practiced/played for the Bobcats while this contract from another league on the other side of the world is being worked out?

castration. Well it depends where his current contract is.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

50/50 he plays this year

Well NBA is a private league so they are not under FIBA rules. Thus they cannot suspend him or anything, but my guess is Fuenlabrada will be come after both Bobcats, Byombo and the NBA. I doubt NBA and FIBA wants to begin a conflict over this so NBA will want their teams to respect contract made under FIBA regi.

That is my guess. Nothing more.

It was ruled today that Biyombo would not be allowed to leave his Spanish team this season and that he will not be able to play in the NBA this season.

Not a big deal. Let him develop more and it will be like having another draft pick coming in next year. Whatevs

[Niner National]

great, another pissed away draft pick. Maybe he, Ajinca, Morrison, and Sean May can start a team together.

I'm not sure if that source is reliable..his court date isn't until the 19th...this may be true but I'm holding out hope until then. His contract does have a buyout in it..though the cats can do anything to pay it. But, he should be be able to find someone to loan him what he doesn't have..because he could pay that off in a season or two with the cats...I hope the source is inaccurate.

[HeatCheck]

Yeah I always heard the 19th was the crucial date. And it seems like rotoworld is the only reporting this.

[CarolinaNut]

i don't know how they could have ruled anything when the court date isn't until the 19th

[Chaos]

This is stupid. Doesn't MJ wipe his ass with more money than this Spanish team is worth? Somebody pay them to shut up and move on so this kid can suit up and help the Bobcats.

It's ridiculous.

[beuer1]

How DARE they force someone to honor their contract
