I don't think I can fully trust Bismack Biyombo because of rumors regarding his age, the last thing you want to do is pay the dude and then wonder 2 years in why instead of improving he suddenly becomes slower and more injury prone. For example Clint came in looking like a pogo stick, it was obvious he was extremely young when he came into the league. But Bismack came in looking like Arnold, he was already extremely buff so I dunno if he was really just 18 when he entered the league. Rumors are he faked his age by 2 years and IMHO if that's true 2 years is not really a big deal. What worries me is if he faked it by 5+ years and maybe he's already 28-30 now. I mean Bobcats had dibs on him and they didn't resign his (chump change) contract of 4M, why would you let your lotto pick go just like that if you didn't see a red flag somewhere? 26-30 is pretty much where players peak so if he's really that old its not surprising Biyombo would blow up in the playoffs.
Except he most likely means it more than most players when they say that. Because of Masai Ujiri, and his relationship with him. Add in how he feels about Dwane Casey and KLow and I know he means it more than most when they say that.
