I Wish J-Rich the best of luck...Hell I hope Bynum becomes the best center in the league and dims Dwight's shine for ever 8-)

Just saw that, too. I am assuming since they formally announced that it is a legit deal rather than an unguaranteed, could-be-cut-at-camp type of contract.

i thought after the dwight trade, news would not exist until closer to training camp...all these assistant coaches, scouts, and now ish being signed has at least gave us stuff to talk about.

He played way below expectations imo.


Van Gundy system was not good for him?

Sam Amick
New Philly center Andrew Bynum breaking future free agency news in his presser. When asked about his free agency next summer, he says, "To be honest man, my first experience here has been so great (that) I'm really leaning towards making this my home (fans who are at press conference go nuts). I'm not a guy who tries to be all around and have a lot of teams on my belt, so I don't know man. It's crazy. That's really the answer man. I'm really leaning towards being able to stay here and making it my home."

That could have been us. It'll be interesting to see which team will be in a better situation 3 years from now.

We should thin out some of the bigs and sign Rakovic. He will bite the heads off the opponents.

Unless we trade 3 players and only get one back, Liggins won't be re-signing here.

If we an turn Turk and Q into a young decent sized PG, and resign Liggins, I'll be happy

I still think the main ones to watch are Nicholson and Vucevic, but Ish is pretty close. I thought he was a good PG last season when he got time.
