    he agent for Bobcats rookie Bismack Biyombo insists the seventh pick in the draft will play for Charlotte next season despite a buyout dispute with his Spanish team.

    "At the time the lockout is over and the season starts, the player will be playing with the Bobcats," Igor Crespo told The Associated Press in a phone interview. "Everything else is not relevant."

    A spokesman for Madrid-based Fuenlabrada said last month the team is fine in letting the 18-year-old Biyombo out of the last two years of his contract, but expects to receive a $1.4 million buyout.

    The two sides held a mediation session earlier this month. Crespo declined to reveal the results, saying only he believed the buyout figure was made public to "put pressure on us."
