Andrew Bynum

Really? We can't guarantee him playing time? Our big rotation is pitiful. A lot of you guys are really delusional.

He wants money but he might reconsider if someone tweets him this: http://www.bowlluckystrike.com/locations/florida/miami/

hahahahha yes i love it

[GetMoney]

lmao@him wanting money
i thought he wanted out of CLE because he wanted to spend the remainder of his good knees on a contending team

if he still wants money then yea, def wouldnt fit in anyway

[GetMoney]

stan van gundy said he'd absolutely go after bynum if he was Miami

my opinion has changed again
he'd fit right in

If we wanted to use our mMLE do we have to use the whole thing? Or can we just use a portion of it.

we can use just part of it.

But I think it's a good test for Bynum's motivation - If he's not willing to come for the minimum (after already robbing the Cavs for 6mil$) - we probably should pass on him.

What if the nets throw their 5 million injured player exception at him (that also increases their luxury tax by 20 million i believe -25 mill on bynum basically)...

I wouldn't be suprised if King was stupid enough to do it.

If he wants to win he can come here for vet min, it's not like the 6 million he was guaranteed is gone.. 7 million and a ring with limited minutes should be good, but then again the guy can be a clown.

Thats fine. But the moment he gives up a couple easy layups due to poor pick n roll play Spo is going to bench him. As much as the Heat need/want size, mobility is a crucial factor in our bigs play. Bynum does not have the mobility to play miami heat defense.

Not saying he wont be signed. At the minimum, he may be deemed worth the risk. I just dont think he fits our needs at center beyond a big body.

and who do you think we should sign that is 7 feet, 280 lbs at minimum and is mobile, give me a break when you are in deep s*** like we are as far as the salaray cap goes then you pick up anyone that can help in the department that you need.

his mobility is fine when we need him to defend Hibbert.. That's all he will be badly needed for.

tommorow could be a big day, i have a feeling all will be resolved a couple of hours after he clears waivers.

One league executive who recently spoke with Heat president Pat Riley told ESPN.com, "I'm certain that Riley is going to go hard after Bynum."

i am taking it with a grain of salt since is ESPN

[Dupas]

i just dont understand how some of you dont want or think that we will not go for bynum. EVERY , i repeat. EVERY BIG in this league looks like a good player against us. Anyone.
This is 2 good to pass. MLE or vet i dont care. Just get it done. Bynum is a big body and its our only weakness. You know why we trap so much others pg's? To stop the ballmov and dont let them get the ball inside. Ive saw zaza pachulia go nuts on us. Cmon..this is just 2 GOOD 2 pass.

This. This all day.

If we pass on Bynum, this will be the main reason.

Not his love of BB or lacj there of, not worrying about hurting Oden's feelings, not his hair or his douchiness.

We need size and mobility. Both are equally important. That's why it's hard for us to find the right Center. We can live with someone less talented then Bynum, but his lack of mobility can kill him with the way we play.

What makes Bird so great in our system is his mobility, always active and moving both on defense and offense. Bird isn't that big or that talented, but him being as active as he is makes him work wonderfully here.

Bynum, at this stage of his career with his knee and lazy slow style, is probably the least mobile player in the league.

We may go for him, but highly doubt Riley is gifting clues on his future moves to rivals GM's.

If we do go for him, I think it will be for a very limited role. Shouldn't expect too much of him considering his the questionable fit and his subpar play this year.

i think we are trying to land him behind the scenes. and i also think he would be a much better player here. motivation can do great things to humans

Yes. But in some situations our game plan isn't effective. Not to mention how physically demanding this type of game plan is on the players (Possibly causing the oscillations in defense during games). I think one slow footed 7 footer that has OK post moves and can alter shots is worth having on your bench. He can't be worse than dampier or Big Z. I just feel if they did sign him, the Odon experiment would be over...
