Biyombo played great in the NBA playoffs, which surely helped increase his pay.
Four-year, $72M on Bismack Biyombo's Magic agreement @APkrawczynski reported on. Masai Ujiri loved Biz, but didn't value him that way.

The addition of Biyombo adds to an already deep (or crowded) front court for Orlando, even if it's a fair market value deal. Ibaka, Nikola Vucevic and Aaron Gordon are all bigs. The Magic might to try to trade Vucevic now that Biyombo is in town.
Biyombo coming to Orlando to start. Could put Vucevic in play for trades.

The Toronto Raptors wanted to keep Biyombo, but that was always going to be a long-shot because of cap issues. First round pick Jakob Poeltl will likely become the new backup center.
