I'll disagree with that last bit. Some GM is going to throw a HUGE contract at him in hopes he gets healthy and Philly's going to be pressured to pay him. Those knees are shot. He's had like one full season in his whole career, he hasn't played at all this season. He's probably as done as Brandon Roy and even his knees are better than I think they are, the team that's stuck with his contract will probably see a 50% Bynum about 40-50 games a season. So the Sixers gave up an All-Star and two really nice prospects for either an expiring or a chance to cash strap their future, Stoudemire style. That was my reasoning at the time, still is.

Portland fans need to admit Nolan Smith is a scrub, and that Elliot Williams is worthless.

A lot of LAL fans should be eating a Crow on what they wanted for Gasol.

better fit, better payroll, thats the kind of deal the Lakers would do moving forward.

Should be a feast in Lakers Nation.

Looks like no one has the balls to step it up this year, how unsurprising.

I thought it was a near lock Washington traded Nene and for mediocre value.

Dude, your anti-Blazer bashing is becoming sad. You're making up stuff that's not even close to accurate. The last time someone suggested Smith or Williams were even slightly valuable has been at least a year ago.

Seriously, Smith isn't even d-league worthy and Williams is more injury prone than Greg Oden. No Blazer fan has said anything different that than for ages.

You're act is pathetic. I'm surprised such a blatant troll as yourself is still hanging around.

Some people ITT still not getting the hang of "eat crow" threads.

Boy I've got some to eat this season.

1: I loved the Bynum trade for Philly. Thought it was an absolute steal for Philly.

2: I thought the Suns would be better without Nash, and be a Top 5 seed in the West.

2a: I thought Michael Beasley was a fantastic signing for the Suns.

3: John Wall would be a Top 5 PG this season.

4: Wasn't a huge fan on the Harden deal for Houston.

Yeah, I guess I could take a nibble on the Harden deal. I didn't expect him to be as good as he's been.

Suns a top 5 seed? Damn

uhm what?

you dont really understand the idea of eating crow do you?

Stuckey was going to have a breakout season

instead he had the exact same season

I was stupid for saying Rudy Gay is worth more than the Grizzlies received. He is hot trash.

Ok it's time for me to get my 2nd helping.

Maybe for one of the other 3 or 4 worst deals in the league. Teams don't want to pay the new repeater tax and he isn't producing anywhere near his salary. Add in that he is uninsurable, injury prone, and basically only capable of playing a part-time role and no-one will trade for him.

You talk like Amar'e is some bum & always on the DL. You need to look at Andrew Bogut & Bynum.
Both has been on the DL a lot more than Amar'e. And talking about part time role. Have you every
heard about bring a long slowly? The last 3 games Amar'e played were 32,31,29 MPG
The 29 was the 2nd of back to back. It's about being ready for the play off.

Time to dig in.
