Certainties are slim in Phoenix when it comes to pivots. JaVale McGee left for Dallas and Deandre Ayton is still presumed to start, away from Arizona. The Suns therefore ensured a minimum of the blow by extending Bismack Biyombo, we advise you all the same to wet your neck by re-reading this sentence.
“We have the rights, and for cheap! This must be the sentence that was pronounced at the time of the extension of the contract of the pivot in the offices of the Suns. Biyombo will continue to play luxury garbage collectors in Arizona. A one-year contract is mentioned, the salary has not yet leaked, but it is assumed (pending further information) that it is at minimum wage like last year, or perhaps a little more. A pickaxe that is still correct for someone who knows the house, who has revived there perfectly and who represents a profile that the 2021 NBA finalist needs to protect his racquet. The former Hornets, Raptors and Magic will have to forget the departure of JaVale McGee in Dallas, and stay in his role.
Free agent center Bismack Biyombo has agreed to terms on a return to the Phoenix Suns, league sources tell @YahooSports.

Basically, Biyombo arrived in Phoenix via a 10-day contract, he then won his place thanks to his defense and his impeccable state of mind, to the point of re-enlisting for the season, and extending for the one to come. As generous in the effort on the floor as off (he recently donated his entire salary to build a hospital in the Democratic Republic of Congo), the Suns need this type of profile to support Devin Booker , recently extended for 5 years and 214 million dollars. With 5.8 points and 4.6 rebounds per gamethe Congolese pivot has never been a stats machine, but his contribution is significant, especially for a title candidate who needs rebound, defensive intimidation and presence in the paint.
Bismack Biyombo remains a good option at position 5 for the Suns, especially with the uncertainties that reign over this position. In any case, the pancake machine will still sicken a few attackers next season. And Sit Down, Biyombo as Kendrick Lamar would say.
