And are you seriously that Bynum is a bad contract???? Are you freaking serious? The guy is a 20/10 waiting to happen if he gets to play Dwight Howard mins. And he has a team option, which literally mean the Magic can extend or let him walk in 2012. He is a bargain for a guy who play a crucial position in the NBA, young, reasonable contract, and tremendous upside.
HAHA Bosh for Howard straight up is a joke. A freakin joke!!! HAHAHAHA.
Not only is Bosh a joke superstar, but a team trading to a rival team so they can be better. HAHAHA
Do you not speak English? No habla Ingles?
The only way the Lakers can clear enough cap space to sign a max contract is to get rid of one of Kobe or Gasol.And yes, Bynum for $14 million a year is a terrible, terrible contract. Even if he weren't injury prone, he's never been close to a 20/10 guy, not even if you prorate his stats out to 36 minutes (i.e. Dwight Howard minutes). You know who is a 20/10 guy though? Chris Bosh. Who, fake superstar or not, has put up 7 straight seasons better than Bynum's injury-riddled best. And if Dwight leaves Orlando, the Magic aren't going to good enough to be considered rivals to the Heat. Not that Orlando would be under pressure to deal with the Heat, but there are better deals out there than the most injury prone big man this side of Greg Oden.
Rival team don't like trading with one another. Not only that, but the Magic FO and Miami FO don't like each other. Dwight don't like Lebron.
Bynum is a good contract. I already give you the reason. LEARN TO READ.
Injury prone is the only legitimate criticism of Bynum. His productive stat is obviously not good considering he played on a team with a lot of option. Both Pau/LO is a 10rpg. Kobe/PAU/LO are capable of putting up 20ppg. That's why Bynum can never showcase his true ability because he
wasn't even a 2nd option!
And suggestion Oden is even more laughable. HAHA ODEN IS MORE INJURY PRONE THAN BYNUM!
Anyway, one area people underestimate the Lakers is that they are never in the hunt for championship because of the legacy and history of the franchise. Star players want to play in LA Lakers, that is a fact. Dwight shouldn't be worry after Kobe is gone.
