I doubt he comes, I really hope he does though. Those few minutes last night with Oden really looked promising. Adding Bynum would be a nice rotation of Bynum Oden Bird, PF: Bosh Beas Lewis haslem.

So tired of this small ball crap. And headless chicken defense.

Just curious, why would anyone WITH sources, give them up? Then they'd be just a regular poster. You wouldn't insist GT3 tell you EXACTLY what he does would you?

I think it's so hilarious at who we believe though. We can see someone interview stars LIVE ON TV, don't like them, thus don't believe them. We then see someone on UTUBE (I know it's YouTube) in a photo with a few stars, and they're labeled "mesiahs" - we really don;t know what anyone knows, so just believe everybody, get excited about everything. Enjoy the info (right/wrong/good/bad) - 20 years ago, none of us could share our thought on this type of medium/media.

Does it even make a difference if someone has real sources or is just extremely good at guessing which moves will happen?

For example, Woj probably has the best inside info out of anyone out there right now. If it turned out that he actually had no sources, he was just making guesses based on a number of factors the whole time, would it matter? It would make him more impressive, actually, and shouldn't change the worth of what he reports.

NO, it doesn't make a difference to me

Coming around on the notion of Bynum if Birdman is going to be suspect injury wise this year too. Better odds maybe of having one of Bynum or Oden make it to the playoffs.

But I do think Oden fits our system a lot better, and I am not sure exactly what Bynum is going to do for us against the Pacers. His strengths are offensive, and we don't need a center in the post. But if Oden's season ended as there are strong odds that they would at some point--it would be nice to have another big body on the roster.

I just don't like when we play the Pacers that we give them so many second shot opportunities, and Hibbert suddenly becomes Hakeem in the post. if we have someone who can push him just a foot farther outside the paint, it changes everything.

One of the underrated aspects of Oden in particular is how much of a game changer he could be for our fast break. Having a big who eats glass so well that the other team doesn't even try for rebounds anymore, can get us out on the break because Lebron and Wade don't have to come back to rebound, and can leak out. So we can get more Lebron or Wade against a backpedaling defense. Which could turn us into the showtime lakers.

More insurance, really. Birdman hasn't been right since he took that tumble in Los Angeles when I believe he fell right on his back. Not exactly the best injury to sustain at the age of 35. The more size, the better.

Everyone who has been around Bynum in PHI and CLE raves about his work ethic. I've written that. Others have, too.

it looks like hard work and motivation to play basketball isnt a problem !!!

"He just doesn't seem to be consistent with his commitment to the game. That can lead to alot of frustration for any team that has signed him.

When I worked with Andrew I found him to be bright & hardworking but I think he got bored with the repetitive nature of working on basketball fundamentals day in and day out... but they are the keys to long term success. "

If this doesnt end up happening, i vote watchout gets banned. Hate stupid people who pretend they have "sources".

No one thinks its weird that we have barely any quotes from Spo/Riles/The Team about how good a pick up Tony Douglas is and that its also taken Douglas all this time to join the team when other guys involved in the trade have joined their teams and Crawfords already played big minutes for his.

I THINK Douglas is going to be cut for Bynum. Haven't given my opinion on the signing one way or the other but that is what it looks like is happening to me.

RexBoyWonder · Post #938 » by **RexBoyWonder** » Sun Jan 19, 2014 12:31 am

^ Pat actually said Douglas has been on Heat radar for a while and that this is his opportunity...No way to know if that's BS.

In the LAC-IND game broadcast, it was written that:" Bynum will sign with Pacers" as a subtitle.
