The Orlando Magic Sign Bismack Biyombo (2016)

If you want a good example of why the Orlando Magic spent so much time in the basement of the NBA (prior to their breakthrough 2018-2019 season), look no further than the disastrous deals they’ve made — including the one they handed to forward Bismack Biyombo.
Biyombo never even averaged six points per game during his first five years in the NBA, but a late-season spurt with the Toronto Raptors in 2016 enticed the Magic enough to throw a deal worth $18 million per year in his direction. In what shouldn’t be any surprise, Biymobo still hasn’t averaged more than 6 points per game ever since, and actually saw his palatable rebounding numbers decrease ever since.
