With the way our team is structured, I'd rather have Bynum.

Al is nice though.

he's a complete non factor on the defensive end. i wouldn't want to build around that.

The fact that you are a Twolves poster means nothing to the Twolves front office.

No, but the fact that the TWolves front office chose to trade Garnett for Al, not Andrew, shows that they think more of Al. That means they probably wouldn't trade him for Bynum. If we wanted Bynum, we would've just traded Garnett for him.

Andrew Bynum is a completely different player looked at in a completely different light than last season. The Nets wanted him for Kidd last February. This February the Nets wouldn't even bother asking the Lakers for Bynum. A year makes a big difference. This is not hard to understand.

And McHale has said Al is better than the FO thought he was when they made the trade.

oh well if Mchale says so....


I would be even more worried for the wolves and you if you thik what Mchale says/does is correct...because the fact of the matter is any other GM in the league would pick Bynum of Jefferson in a minute.

Every damn possession the ball was forced to Jefferson. You do that with Bynum he'll put up some gaudy numbers at a much higher FG% with more blocked shots and FAR better defense. Jefferson is a very good player, but it's definitely in Bynum's favor. One's a true center, one just isn't...

Why would you trade a Center with All Star potential for a PF with All Star potential?

Even if Bynum comes back, Pau is still the 2nd option if you ask me. :nod:
