Woj reporting that Bynum isn't interested in re-sigining with Orlando. With the way la has been dangling him I wonder if he's ready to go(and I know he can't stand Mike Brown). I know a lot of people can't stand Bynum(myself included) but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be hyped about him coming here....

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
Among Bynum's short list of potential free agent landing spots in 2013, Houston is prominent with Dallas and Cleveland, sources tell Y!

Interesting.

I've been on record of not being a fan of Bynum due to his knuckleheadish behavior; but at this point - why the hell not?

When he arrives in Houston just make sure that the car takes him to Dream's place to get to work on that mental game!

im all for bynum. he doesnt change his mind every 15 seconds. he just parks in handicapped spots, clothelines little guys in the air, sometimes falls in love with his non-existant 3pt shot. better than 5 years of dwight changing his mind every 15 seconds, killing the locker room, costing us games. talent gap between the two isnt huge

championship level centers are rare. bynum is arguably the 2nd best center in the league

Yeah, I don't care if he's a knuckle-head. He's a BBG.

Want.

Lmao thats an understatement, I remember last year he said, "ill play anywhere, theres a bank in every city"....

fixed

So, a three-way dance with LA and Orlando?

We know that Morey & Kupchak have a good relationship. Could we hammer out a Win/WIn/Win deal here?

who cares
interested
doesn't mean he will sign here

stop trollin max. We consistently talk about players we "could sign" that have never expressed interest here. Bynum actually has us on his "list", Let me have my GOT DAMN moment......

I could see bynum leaving the lakers for several reasons.. such as he hates mike brown. He may want to prove he can carry a team and be a number one option. Also probably tired of being in rumors every month and wants to play for a team who wont shop him.

i didnt even think about how a big free agent wants to go to houston. now that you pointed it out, im thinking "HOLY **** a big free agent has houston on his list. and he's andre **** bynum of all pple."

imagine the roster 2 years from now

superstar pg
lamb - midteen scorer, good defender
parsons - midteen scorer, elite defender, playmaker
motie - top 5 scoring bigman, good rebounder, avg defender
bynum - 2nd best bbg

He did help us win two games against the Lakers. Nice to know there is at least ONE (borderline) Superstar interested in the Rockets.

What about Erick Dampier?

Bynum is almost 1b to Howard's 1a. instead of 1-2.

you mean erica dampier

idk where the superstar pg is coming from but I could definitely see that. Bynum is exactly the type of player that motie needs to have next to him....

last time a superstar wanted to come here is t-mac and that's because of yao
so plan is simple
tank for #1 pick

How about this as a basis for a three-way deal?

(picks added in)

Houston out: Martin, Royce, Patterson, Morris & future first
Houston in: Bynum, Q-RIch & Hedo, LA 2nd

LA out: Bynum, Future 1st, 2nd
LA in: Dwight

Orlando out: Howard, Hedo and Q-Rich
Orlando in: Martin, Patterson, White, Morris, Future Houston 1st, Future LA 1st

i dont want us to help lakers get dwight after they just got nash

exactly
forget about trading
just don't get back long big contract
we still have cap space next year

cp3, iguodala, dwight, bynum

I'd hope that Houston would be willing to swallow a bad contract if we can get a keystone player like Knucklehead.


....err, Bynum.
