My big fear is having Bynum issues.

He seems more arrogant than Kobe was w/ Shaq.

He is asking for the max after missing the play-offs the last 2 season when he put up 13 & 10 for 2 and a half months ONLY. LO will settle for 10 mil... same w/ Gasol. Those guys are team guys that want to win.

I think Bynum might turn into the ALPHA problem male. I prey I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong. I just dont get why this guy asked for the MAX.

I don't think I'd trade Bynum because he fits that center role so well. I'm just worried about this team lasting more than a few seasons.
Lakers are 22-3 in OT last 6 seasons:Kobe best OT closer!

As far as on court basketball chemistry goes, I don't think there is much doubt that Artest's game fits better with Gasol/Bynum than Odom's does.

wow, that's the exact opposite read i've gotten from every interview and report i've seen and read about bynum. you seem to be worried about him trying to be alpha male because his agent asked for max? when negotiations start for 99% of athletes playing any pro sport the top dollar is asked for by the agent. that's not a sign of arrogance that's business.
