The Laker homers that tout Bynum as the next great thing is in a very isolated minority. Most really wanted to see what Bynum is capable of before they decide if he's worth the max. When you have a 20 year old center who averaged 16/12/2.5 over a 10 game stretch in only 29 minutes you would probably be excited too, but most are not that carried away to rank Bynum as a top 5 center right now. The reason why people like you don't want anyone to talk positively about Bynum is because he was a risky pick that was not expected to be anything, let alone being the 2nd option on a contending team, whereas Oden played like Bill Russell against his college peers and had as much hype as Lebron coming into the league, so it is not considered wrong to think highly of Oden.


I don't think Denied's being a troll. Your post pretty much says it all.

I don't talk positively or negatively about Bynum simply because I don't know enough. I can only go by what others say.

Is Bynum your second option? Above Gasol?

But, with Iggy, Crow is right...Bynum is getting at least 80 mil (or he turns out to be a complete flop/injured tragedy)

Iggy 80 mill? Come onnn....wttffff.

deNIED this is the last time I am going to say this and I hope it sinks into your head.


The Lakers AND the MAJORITY OF LAKER FANS HERE ON THIS BOARD....are fine with Bynum getting a max deal. AS LONG AS HE PROVES TO BE HEALTHY.

I dont want to see you here talking about how Laker fans dont want to pay Bynum.
