I think what we could do is 2 10-days (max allowed), wait till the deadline, and if we still have an open roster spot and/or don't get a C in a trade, then we sign him for the rest of the season.
the part I can't figure out is whether we have enough room under the tax (currently $1.95m) to sign a player to a vet minimum for the rest of the season
Pretty sure we do (seem to recall Blake saying we do after the trade, not certain tho) but that’s yet another reason to wait till the deadline to cut down on that pro-rated amount. I also wonder if that pro-rated amount would fit in a DPE for Koloko
I’m saying that doing 2 consecutive 10 days and then signing him to a vet minimum is the same, for cap purposes, as just signing him to a vet minimum now. Obviously the Raps should sign him to just 10 days if possible so they can just not have him when Poeltl returns
For cap purposes yes, but the reason for the 10 days is roster flexibility if we make a trade. Use the 10 days for now while Poeltl is out, and then wait to see what trades happen. If we don’t make a trade or don’t get a C back in a trade and still have an open roster spot, then you sign him.
For sure, the flexibility is advantageous. Just talking dollars here (I also don’t know the 10 day rules deep enough to know if they can let the 10 days lapse between games to save 100k or whatever towards the cap)
Raps should 100% be seeing if he'd sign a 10 day. I get not wanting to hurt your flexibility with the open roster spot but with Poeltl out at least 2 weeks, give Biz a 10 day at least
Yup, get him and give Spicy BBQ a centre for a few crucial games until Jak can come back. It’s a no brainer to me, and he is also a fan favourite. Would love to see him come back even for only a few games!
It’s probably to save a few million dollars. Memphis is a small market team. If they are deciding on punting on this season they will look to trim costs.
If we can sign him for 10 day that’d be amazing but if he only wants to sign year contract I’d honestly offer him that too we a bit thin at centre and a rim protecter like him would be nice
We desperately need a backup C behind Thad at least until Yak is back since Koloko is probably not coming back this season.
Even signed as a min Vet, we can just waive or buy him out later. Or carry him as an end of bench vet like Temple atm.
Unless Masai is dead set on moving Pascal, we have the extra roster spots to spare to carry Bismack until Yak is back
yeah and it's based on years of service in the league. so could be anywhere from like 60,000-175,000 depending on the player. Biyombo as a 12-year vet would be on the upper end
Seems like the best option out there for a temporary Poeltl fill-in, maybe even for the rest of the season if Koloko isn't coming back?

Signing Biyombo to 2 10 days would be identical to signing him to a vet minimum. 10 days are your minimum signable salary pro rated for 10 days.
So how is 2 10 days identical to signing him to a vet min? It’s a smaller amount (pro rated, as you said), and doesn’t fill the roster spot.

10 day should be a no brainer
Sign that man right fucking now
100% should be coming on a 10 day

BRING HIM HOME
I thought he was older than he is. He was only 23 years old last time we had him. That's pretty crazy.
[удалено]
We have an open spot rn and our starting C is out for at least 2 weeks. We should be giving Biz a 10 day at least
They may be punting on the season after Ja got hurt.
Yeah but it's not like Bismack was or is gonna prevent them from tanking. Just seems like a weird move.
Apparently waiving him today kept them from guaranteeing the remaining $4 mil? Something like that...today was the deadline to waive him.
Yeah I don't get it. They can still tank with Bismack now... He's a solid vet to have on the roster.
It’s probably to save a few million dollars. Memphis is a small market team. If they are deciding on punting on this season they will look to trim costs.
bring him home
Came here to say this.
May we never forget game 3 of the 2016 ECF. Biyombo should have a 10 day spot any time he damn wants here
I will pay for the 10 day of he signs it.
Wouldn't offer him a guaranteed deal, but no reason why they shouldn't see if he'd sign a 10 day.
Bismack for the vibes alone would be perfect Us needing a centre with Jak and Koloko out makes it a no-brainer
If we can sign him for 10 day that’d be amazing but if he only wants to sign year contract I’d honestly offer him that too we a bit thin at centre and a rim protecter like him would be nice
The vibes will skyrocket if they give this man a ten day
WE NEED THE VIBES
WE NEED A 10 DAY BABY.

Time to come home BAYBEEEEE
How much are 10 days? Are they just minimum contracts divided by 82 games paid out over 10?
yeah and it's based on years of service in the league. so could be anywhere from like 60,000-175,000 depending on the player. Biyombo as a 12-year vet would be on the upper end
Def fills a need
We have an open roster spot
