The Lakers have had success with or without Bynum. The only way I'd be interested with him involved if it was a 3-Way trade and he got flipped somewhere else while we got compensated.
I get the dirty play and bad knee, but to compare him to Curry is an insult.
I disagree. What has Bynum accomplished? He's a better rebounder and better shot blocker but Curry was the far better scorer. At 24 Curry was 19 and 7. I dont see any scenario where Bynum averages close to 20 points, even on Minny. Maybe if he played with CP3 or Deron in place of Lopez. Even then I dont see it. He has a really tny offensive arsenal.
killa i don't mean to sound like a dick or anything, but have you really watched bynum? he's already averaged 15points a game and that was only on 10 shots a game that year, which is amazing production. he can shoot and he has a great low-post repertoire. i think he could definitely do 20ppg.
A lot of centers can get those numbers if they played with a Gasol/Odom front court and Kobe Bryant as the 2 guard in a triangle offense that maximizes post play.
listen trueblue, it sounds like to me throughout this thread that you're just giving excuses for everything positive he can do. i don't see it that way. is he oft-injured? yes. has had some punk flagrants? yes. all that aside i think he's one of the few legit centers left in this league and he has a solid offensive repertoire while also being a good defensive player. you don't find that much anymore.
Its been a long time since I saw some real playoff basketball.
This is what the Knicks should have done to Rondo, like Wade did.
Listen, bottom line is you all know if the Knicks could get Bynum, they would not hesitate for a second.

anytime you can get a cheap shot artist with a bum knee, you've gotta do it
Bynum has two rings.
Eddy gets his at burger king.

So what? He's still got character problems.

I highly doubt Eddy Curry could get a Burger King ring over his Jimmy Dean Sausage pinky finger

Eddy wouldn't have fingers if he thought of that
"My actions ... don't represent me, my upbringing, this franchise or any of the Laker fans out there that want to watch us and want us to succeed," Bynum said. "Furthermore, and more importantly, I want to actually apologize to J.J. Barea for doing that. I'm just glad that he wasn't seriously injured in the event and all I can say is, I've looked at [the replay], it's terrible and it definitely won't be happening again."

his apology came 3 days too late. seems more like lakers marketing than a sincere comment by bynum.

That's a good point. Why on earth would it take three days to apologize?!

It was obviously heinous... I think he felt that he had to do some damage control. But really, I put that one up because even Bynum admitted it was as bush league as you can get. There is no argument to the contrary because it is impossible to legitimize

I agree. Bet a few Laker execs leaned on him.
