Bismack Biyombo's Spanish team apparently expects a buyout of approximately $1.4 million to allow the 18-year-old forward/center to join the Bobcats, who drafted him No.7 overall Thursday.

NBA rules say the Bobcats can't pay more than $500,000 toward any buyout, so in some ways the team's hands are tied.

The primary negotiation will need to be between Biyombo's agent and the Madrid-based team that currently holds the player's rights.
