Bynum out / C addition talk, MERGED

Gus McCrae · Post #201 » by **Gus McCrae** » Mon Jan 14, 2008 10:37 pm

This sucks...This 4 game road stint was going to test us to see how we roll with the big dawgs. now we're gonna get worked. you saw what happened when Bynum came out of the home Grizzlies game. we gave up like a 15 point lead and BARELY won.

We need some help..I didn't realize how important Bynum was until we just lost him. Wow. we're in trouble. definitely not #1 Power Ranking.

Bynum will miss around 25-30 games...that sucks

man, big loss. Glad it doesn't need microfracture though.

I agree with the "Get Webber" wagon. We need another scoring big. Even if his D sucks.

Webber can't play the four. He has no lateral quickness anymore.

The Portland Trailblazers are without Greg Oden, but they are still winning.. We have Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher, so we should be able to "stay above water", so to speak.

Bynum... get well son.

i dont see the lakers goin below .500 since theyre much better than last year. i think the key players to step up their games are kwame brown and vladimir radmanovich. if vlad can get us 10pts 4rebs, we shoud stay legit..and if kwame can also get us around 10pts 4rebs, we should be fine...
remember, when turiaf starts and gets more than 20mpg, he can give us around 12pts and 3blocks, pretty much any given night.
if we could sign webber and move him to the 5, and keep kwame coming off the bench, we should be alrite..
fisher
kobe
walton
odom
webber
would keep us contenders

What I meant is Odom isn't doing excellent at the 4 either. He is not a allstar playing pf but Webber would do excellent as the Lakers center with the injury.
I think the teams are the Lakers and Suns and Mavs. I think the Lakers and Mavs are more likely because he can start at center for both teams.
Hopefully he picks the Lakers so we don't have to see Kwame playing and hopefully he still gets traded.
I don't know why Phil wouldn't start Ronny over Kwame. Does he really think Kwame is better? Kwame is good at 1 thing and terrible at everything else. Ronny is at least good at a few things and our rebounding wouldn't go down as much.

If they play 20 games without Bynum my guess is they go 8-20.
If for some reason we miss the playoffs I am hoping Kevin Love comes out and we get him. With Kevin Love as our pf we would be awesome. We would have 4 players with Bynum that pass like pg's and could get him the ball. It would be like playing with Jason Kidd (playing with 4 players who can all pass not just Kevin Love).

How can you not think Kwame should be traded? Are you that bias? I know your smart so it's not that so it must be a Laker bias thing. You think Kwame is good? Above average? He is a below average backup who has value due to salary. Trade him.

kwame's staying, probably call up n'diaye or jelani as back up tho, at least I would, but that's just me

First off, the :noway:

was at the notion that we should get Jelani Mcoy.

Secondly, We have no depth at the center position and barring any trade for a center that will come in right away and give us a band-aid while Bynum is gone, then we need Kwame.

This has nothing to do with being biased. It has have everything to do with staying afloat until we get healthy again.

For better or worse we need Kwame and to trade him and not get another productive center back would a dumb move.

Na its just coincidental .

You come on here and post on your 666 post about how good were doing 2 days later Bynum hurts his knee and he's going to be out 4 to 8 weeks .

It happens everyday , when were playing some of our best games we have been in 4 years and were only 1 game back of being in the first place in the W.C .

Na your right .

I was over exagerating .

Whats really JACKED UP is , Lost Angel posted the same Bull as you but 2 hours earlier , and yet you had to post the same thing but in different terms ......

LOLLLLLLLLL

Between your 666 and THE LOST ANGEL I dont know which one of you brought the GOOD LUCK upon our success but THANKS ....

everyone is so caught up on kwame's offense which isn't as bad as people post about on these boards..and they are 4getting about his positives and that he helps Lakers win games. He plays well with the first unit and has done so the last two years... this year he hasn't played as well or at least compared to Bynum.

He'll guide the team to the playoffs and hopefully Bynum will be back by then.

don't listen to star24 or whatever. He does not back up his statements with any facts or numbers.
