Biyombo Reaches Settlement; Free To Sign

[Pugz]

Bobcats rookie Bismack Biyombo has worked out a settlement with his former Spanish team, allowing the power forward-center to sign with the Charlotte Bobcats.

The team, Fuenlabrada, contended Biyombo had a binding contract, which obligated him to pay a large portion of his worldwide earnings back to them. Biyombo sued the team, claiming breach of contract.

The dispute kept FIBA, basketball's international governing body, from issuing a letter of clearance to the NBA that would allow the Bobcats to sign Biyombo.

Thunder Executive General Manager Sam Presti announced today that the team has acquired a 2013 2nd round draft pick from the Charlotte Bobcats in exchange for center Byron Mullens and cash considerations.

"While we believe that Byron will be a productive player in this league, it became apparent that in the near future it would be difficult for him to continue his development and have the opportunity to make a significant impact on our club because of the current make-up of our roster,” Presti said. “This trade allows us the opportunity to create both future financial and roster flexibility while providing us with an additional draft pick in 2013."
