Wingspan makes up for his lack of height. Almost 7'7 which is 2 inches more than Capela. Heightwise he's about 1.5 inches shorter than Capela. But his salary is too big, would need to be part of a package. Nerlens Noel is being iced by Carlisle and Mavs also have too many centers and point guards on roster. Noel is younger, longer, bouncier, more familiar with Rockets system and on better terms with MDA and biggest PLUS he is on cheaper contract and Mavs are not keeping it a secret that he's not valued.

Biyombo cannot do anything beyond rolling and dunking -- a skill that thrives only in precious and rare ecosystems. These Magic do not provide such an ecosystem. Defenders pay Biyombo no mind. Watch how far -- and more damning, how early -- Drummond strays from Biyombo to plug up what might otherwise be a fruitful Elfrid Payton-Aaron Gordon action: [vid] The Pistons do not care about Biyombo catching the ball wide-open anywhere outside dunking range. They know he won't make a pass or dribble that hurts them. Biyombo is a legit, fearsome rim protector; Orlando's defense will improve with Biyombo in Nikola Vucevic's place. Surround him with a pick-and-roll ace and three good shooters, and Biyombo comes to life on offense. That won't happen on this Magic team, even with Gordon holding steady as a 40 percent-plus 3-point shooter. Jonathon Simmons, starting now, has hit just 32 percent from deep, and smart defenders swerve under picks against Payton -- allowing Biyombo's defender to stay home. In related news: Biyombo is due $17 million per season until 2020.
