Cavaliers inform Magic & Lakers they are not willing to trade Dion Waiters, Tristan Thompson, or Tyler Zeller in three team blockbuster.

so that leaves what young prospects exactly....?

The idea of Bynum >>> what Bynum really is.


I can't fukking believe Jordan Hill is gonna be a T'wolf. If I wanted a woman beater so bad go get Chris Brown. At least that nikka got handles

Nobody has said Hill is going to be with the Wolves.

The report said Hill WANTS to stay with the Lakers but the Lakers are being slow about it because of the stupid ass Dwight situation.

According to most Bynum shouldn't even be as good as he is right now. people were calling him a bust just a few years ago and demanding he be traded for Jason Kidd and Jermaine O'Neal.


I remember long ago people used to swear this kid named Kobe would just be an Average shooting guard without Shaq. :obama:

Kobe's motor? Never a concern.

Kobe's health? Not really a problem.

Kobe's contract? Very manageable.

Kobe in his 7th season averaged 30 ppg. At that point, Lakers fans didn't mind Kobe becoming the man of the team. In 2 years, Lakers fans would be scared shytless if the future of the team was placed on an oft-injured center making Amar'e money that can't get amnestied. All I know is if the Lakers get Brokeback Dwight y'all will be blowing Mitch til kingdom come because deep down y'all know y'all dodged a bullet.

you tellin me he's gonna turn down an extra $9 mil with a court case looming over his head? :wtb:

He's being offered $5 mil a year just to sit down. The ballboys will be doing more work than him. If he turns that down and I'm his agent, I give up on him.

yeah, Dwight is better than Bynum....but Bynum isn't that bad. He was healthy last season and was a beast. As the primary option on offense he could probably average 25 and 12. That warrants max money.

And this is based on nothing but a gut feeling about a guy whose two main issues are motivation and health. You bankin $108 mil on "isn't that bad?"

Bynum being injury prone has always been a bit overstated. The first one was a case of him landing on another players foot and getting hurt (which happens to a lot of guys). The second injury was a case of Kobe landing on on Bynum's knee. It's not like Greg Oden where dude blows his knees doing basic shyt, Bynum's are a result of awkward collisions with other players. Besides he stayed healthy this past season when damn near everyone else racked up injuries. I'm seriously not worried about Bynum's Knees (especially knowing he went on the KobeSystem).

As for Kobe's health he's actually has a longer injury history than Bynum, he's not fukking human and plays though shyt other player are unable to.

Many teams have done way worse....Joe Johnson, Rashard Lewis etc. etc.

Big men who can play get max money, it's just one of the facts of life. Even if he doesn't perform up to standard, he's not untradeable because he'll still be young and 7 feet tall. He'll always have an opportunity in the NBA.

He's known for a LONG time now that he can get more money from other teams, if it was just about money he'd have left by now. Hill, His people, and the Lakers Organization have ALL said he wants to stay with the Lakers. If he ends up with the Wolves it'll be because the Lakers dragged their feet fukking around with Dwight.
