Jim saw Andrew as a kid and thought Bynum was going to be a great pick for our team. But in the process hes wanted to have Andrew to have a bigger and bigger role, and I think hes hired his coach to have Andrew have a bigger and bigger role. And that kind of disjointed the symmetry of what the Lakers were really about. Andrew is an All-Star Center, he did a wonderful job. But what happened was it took Pau out of his game and it took the team away from some of their game. They changed the style dramatically.
