I'd take Bynum this year and in the future. JO has really regressed. Right now, he doesn't even touch Bynum's numbers.

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.

By the way, I am most definitely NOT a Lakers fan.

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.

Putting these two against each other I would have to choose Bynum, but man how good would the Lakers be if JO could play alongside Bynum instead of LO?

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...
