risk can pay off and not npay off and i believe the max deal can be 5 years so it wouldnt be a decade of setting a team back.
Apples and oranges. Wade and Rose are already on contenders. It's not comparable.
I'm saying if I'm the Magic I'm not as hasty to give him a new 5 year max contract as you are. Especially when Bynum is counted on as the centerpiece and the Magic need to build off of him. I was wanting the Bynum trade at some point. But considering the risk, I don't think it's worth it.
if u had read my first post it said i would Let Bynum play the whole year before i would give him an extension to prove his knee was good. worse case some team signs and trades with us for him.

Oh I read it. It just didn't make sense too. Trade for Bynum and still have the possibility of him walking. Exactly how is that better than keeping Dwight?

So you'd rather become the equivalent of last year's Nets, except WITHOUT DERON, than grab the #2 center in the NBA who plenty of experts feel is just scratching the surface of his potential?
One word...
Wow.
So getting Bynum changes everything? it doesn't....it's not a quick fix...we get Bynum we're still what 3 years away from contending? Bynum alone does not makes a contender.....why would we deal Dwight for Bynum straight up? that makes no sense whatsoever....Either way the lakers aren't going to do anything before Dwight comes out and says that he would resign with them.....if Dwight keeps his mouth shut and his camp keeps saying Brooklyn then we aren't trading to the Lakers for sure.....Lakers would be stupid to trade for Dwight without some kind of assurance that he would resign.....
That's two separate arguments.
If the Lakers didn't exist... I would rather let Dwight walk than take that horrible deal from New Jersey.
Here's a game for you... Say you could PICK ANY !5 PLAYERS IN THE NBA to make up the new roster for the Magic. But you couldn't pick the top 3 players on any team. So essentially, you're eliminating 90 of the top players in the NBA.
Now pick any 15 players from the rest. Would any of them be Lopez, Humphries, or Brooks?
If you were being honest... No.
Why trade a top 3 player in the NBA, when you're not getting back a top 75 talent in return?

Some of you have no clue how good Bynum is. It's unreal.
No superstar will play here unless you have a superstar already here. Look at the NBA. The en vogue thing to do is join forces and create "Big three's". If the Magic land Bynum, then other superstars will consider playing here. If not... welcome to Mediocrityville for the next 5+ years.
Very well said. Bynum is a championship caliber center. He's a player you can build around.
He's also a player that can set your team back a decade.

VGOSWAMI wrote:cvMagic wrote:SolidSnake008 wrote:i somewhat agree....but how long is it going to take to build around him?
Honestly... about the same amount of time it would take to build a true contender around Dwight. We all wish we knew the true answer to that. But at least we'd be starting with one of the best pieces we could possibly have in a situation like this.
Exactly. You wouldn't really miss a beat. We're going to struggle next year whether we have D12 or Bynum. The plan is to re-up in 2013 and I think Bynum has the potential to compete with Dwight for the NBA best big man in a year or 2. Given that, we should take the same approach as if we had D12. Clear cap for 2013 and sign studs.
