Free agency keeps getting worse for the Charlotte Hornets. The Toronto Raptors have signed center Bismack Biyombo to a two-year, $6 million deal.
Biyombo became an unrestricted free agent when the Hornets decided against extending him a qualifying offer last week, and there was some belief the team wanted flexibility but intended to bring him back. We now know that was not the case.
This is frustrating, as Biyombo's qualifying offer was just $4.05 million. His cap hold did nothing to the Hornets' ability to make moves in free agency, as they were over the cap with his hold and are still over the cap without it.
