I think Biyombo has still one more year left of his contract.
Biyombo has a player's option, so he can opt out and become a free agent this offseason.
OK, that was missing from information in basketball reference. Then he definitely would be option to consider. He has had pretty nice season in Toronto. They kept collecting wins even with him as starter when Jonas was injured.
Free Agent Centers with the highest Defensive RPM in order are Mahinmi, Biyombo, Pachulia, Noah, Whiteside, Ezeli and Nene. They all are in the top 21 of 75 centers for DRPM. Ezeli is actually a restricted FA, but I don't think GS can afford to match a big offer, especially if they are serious about going after KD.
It might be hard for us to sign a free agent if they think they are starting material. We really only have space for a PF or Center in the starting rotation.

Yeah that's a consideration and we may have even less of an opening depending on who we draft.

Sullinger is also restricted free agent and currently he is ranked 12th in DRPM among all centers.

I didn't include him because Sullinger is restricted and Boston has plenty of cap space to resign him. Ezeli is a different story.

Sullinger would certainly help with our lack of girth problem though.
