For me, it's easy. I hope LeBron WHIPS Dwight if that's the case.

Thats easy, Lebron

Not sure why everyone hates lebron, but i dont and would cheer for him the same way i did this year

also, i really hope Dwight gets the same kind of hate for the way hes screwed us over, which is way worse than what lebron did to cleveland


Oh he will. Trust me. I'm pretty sure the entire NBA hates Dwight for being officially the biggest diva ever. And that's saying something.

And as far for people saying Bynum deal no way, look at it like this, he is the 2nd best center in the league, let him play out this season as the #1 option if you dont like it you have a ton of capspace and can flip him for picks at the deadline, its just a much better deal than NJ and from the looks of it Houston and GSW are out so it will probably come down to NJ and LAL.

Also I like the idea of sending out JRich over Hedo, hedo has a better contract than rich at this point, how scary is that to say out loud

If anything, it'll be nice to have a center that can actually hit his free throws.

I don`t want Bynum, an injured Kendrick Perkins contained Andrew Bynum. A core of Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Bynum(better that we will have in years) got swept twice in a row, bringing Andrew Bynum to this team will only ensure mediocrity,also his pick and roll defense is horrible.Next year he will demand a huge contract; he could be the next Eddy Curry and after enduring Grant Hill I would avoid Bynum at all cost.

Brook Lopez is due a new contract, and big men are getting paid I`m not going to commit $50 millions on him and his recent injury. Marshon Brooks is an absolute ball-hog.

1. Bringing up Kobe/Gasol/Bynum not working is irrelevant. Bynum is a legit #1 option, #2a option at worst. Wasn't that great of a fit. Why team up a great post scorer like Bynum with a guy like Kobe who takes 30 shots a game and a guy like Gasol who takes 15? Their best year Bynum was out injured and it was Kobe/Gasol/Odom, a much better fit.

2. To the bold: Comparing Eddy Curry to Bynum? Laughable and completely baseless. I am not taking anything you say seriously about Bynum anymore, obviously you just have a personal dislike for him that is blinding you. :lol: :lol: :lol:


What do you mean is irrelevant? our goal is to win a championship right, well a core of Kobe, Gasol and Bynum got swept; what record do you think Bynum alone will get us?


Eddy Curry more rings than Dwight. #NBACHAMP

I need all you magic fan that want Andrew Bynum to take a good look at these picture then read the article below

Image
Image

Image

LA Lakers center Andrew Bynum is giving up the chance to be an Olympian this summer in favor of having the same knee procedure teammate Kobe Bryant underwent during the 2011 offseason.

According to the Los Angeles Times' Mike Bresnahan, Bynum will not participate in the 2012 London Olympics because in addition to having the operation, he also wants extra rest.

Bynum told Bresnahan on Friday:

I've got to take care of my legs in the off-season. I've got some things planned for my knees. … I've got to do some therapy that I'm going overseas to do.

The procedure, which Bynum will have in Germany, is less invasive than the work that has been performed on each of his knees in the past. It targets the proteins or molecules that cause inflammatory responses, according to Bresnahan, and once blood is removed from the affected area of the patient, the molecules that cause the inflammation are removed to create a serum that is then re-injected in the patient.

The procedure requires a very short recovery time.

Bynum injured his left kneecap in 2007-08, which rendered him unavailable for the rest of the season and the playoffs, including the Lakers' NBA Finals loss to the Celtics.

In 2009, he injured his right knee but played through it en route to his first NBA championship, and in the 2010 playoffs, he played through a torn meniscus and a strained Achilles' tendon as the Lakers claimed their second straight championship, eventually undergoing surgery in July that summer.

What It Means

Hopefully, an end to Bynum's seemingly chronic knee problems. He's undergone procedures on both of them in the past and has seldom been able to stay healthy for the entirety of a season, until this one.

In 59 games this year, Bynum has registered 18.9 points, 11.9 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per contest.



He probably getting work done on his knees as we speak and y'all want him

Are you crazy? Lebron's big crime was that he kept his destination a secret until he told the world at a televised event that gave money to kids. Dwight's on the other hand has spent two years making trade demands while still under contract and bad mouthing his teammates.

Lopez
Bynum
Horford has had INJURY ISSUES. Bynum is the best amongst these.

We could probably go on and on.

Don't get me wrong, Bynum is far from perfect, but its still nice hating on Dwight right now.

For the poster that is posting pictures of Bynum balled up on the floor in pain, you need to grow up. This is what really happened:

Bynum is the BEST talent we can get in a DH trade PERIOD!!!! He hada break out season with NO knee problems this past season. Lopez has a damn fractured foot...and can't rebound worth a damn.. We can't be choosers here. We need a All star player back in return for Dwight...PERIOD!!!!
