Oneal has regressed because the Pacers suck right now...Oneal also started out horrible, but in the month of December he has come back averaging 19pts, 10rebounds, 2.6blks, close to 3 assist and on 48% shooting. Oneal has the ability to draw more double teams then Bynum, plus he has way more skill than current Bynum.
So basically everyone (Laker fans) in this thread are saying that if Bynum and Oneal got traded for each other, the Lakers would do worse, and the Pacers would do better?

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying.
Oh, and JO averaged 19/8/2.6 in December, not 19/10/2.6. I also note that JO is averaging 9.0 points, 5.3 boards and 38% shooting in 31 minutes a game in January.
Here are their pace-adjusted per-40 numbers for the season:
Code: Select all
Player PTS REB AST STL BLK TO eFG% TS% PER
bynum,andrew 16.8 13.0 2.2 0.5 2.7 2.1 .628 .653 21.8
o'neal,jerma 18.5 8.7 3.1 0.7 2.6 2.8 .441 .487 16.0
And for the last 10 games:
Code: Select all
Player PTS REB AST STL BLK TO eFG% TS% PER
bynum,andrew 19.6 11.6 2.3 0.1 2.3 2.1 .691 .718 24.7
o'neal,jerma 16.9 8.5 2.7 0.5 3.5 2.0 .403 .449 15.1
In the last 10 games, Bynum is averaging 32.5 minutes a game as a full-time starter, which is certainly comparable to JO's 34 minutes a game.
It really isn't even close. Bynum is destroying JO.

Yeah I know lol, I was just responding to your comment.
But yes statistically he is being destroyed as of right now, but everyone here can't indicate that a current Oneal and Bryant combo would have them more playoff success than a Bynum and Bryant combo.

QFT, nate: Bynum is better now than JO (I wonder how high % of Indiana fans regrets not trading them for each other ), though on the other hand I value playoff experience very highly and relative lack of this experience may cause 'Drew to be less valuable in the playoffs this season than Jermaine would be. I hope it won't be the case...
