Bynum...possibility?

[OregonHuskerMan]

3 years 40 Million non guaranteed 3rd year. Do you do it?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Is a huge risk. But I feel we have to take a big risk to have a chance of getting to even a WCF's in the next 3 years.

 

[OregonHuskerMan]

Thats the point. Its a gutsy move. But it could either put us over the top or bite us in our asses

 

[VanillaGorilla]

Absolutely not.

 

[magnifier661]

If Olshey wants to gamble with his job. Cause if it pans out and Bynum's injuries are behind him, then Olshey will be a genius. If he gets another injury, Olshey will lose his job almost immediately.

 

[OregonHuskerMan]

Why or why not? Personally, I would go after DMC and then go after him.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

If Bynum was one or the other: injury prone or a dick, I'd say go for it. Since he's both I'd say no.

 

[blue9]

I wouldn't. But I guess I'd rather see us do that than go after Gortat or Nene.

Who would rather have Evans or Bynum?

With Evans you have money left over and a young back court potentially for a long time.

With Bynum you have an immediate higher ceiling.....but you know he will eventually get hurt again.

I can't stand Bynum. He would be hard to root for. But a 2 year risk is not bad.

 

[Further]

I would ask Aldridge, and go with his wishes.

3 years 40 Million non guaranteed 3rd year. Do you do it?

Nope. And I beat the crap out of Olshey if he does it. Bynum's a broke-dick jackass with delusions of Shaq-hood.

 

[craigehlo]

Bone bruises and damaged knee cartilage? I'd pass because of the nature of the injuries and his questionable work ethic to get back on court.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

I'd need a much better understanding of Bynum's injuries to make a decision.

However, I like the swinging for the fences approach. This team isn't going to get there with incremental improvements.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Bynum's ejection the Laker Elimination game vs. Dallas a few years ago tells you all you need to know about him. No thanks.

 

[BBert]

Who would rather have Evans or Bynum?

Evans.

 

[Chuck Taylor]

Why not go after Oden for even less cash?

 

[KingSpeed]

3 years 40 Million non guaranteed 3rd year. Do you do it?

Absolutely.

I would ask Aldridge, and go with his wishes.

Good idea.

Nope. And I beat the crap out of Olshey if he does it. Bynum's a broke-dick jackass with delusions of Shaq-hood.

Bynum is the best center in the league when healthy.

Exactly. Gortat or Jordan or the like won't make us a contender. Bynum, if he got healthy, would instantly make us a contender. Instantly. You have to go for it.

Bynum's ejection the Laker Elimination game vs. Dallas a few years ago tells you all you need to know about him. No thanks.

Seriously? We need a dick on our team.

Why not go after Oden for even less cash?

I'm not against that, but Bynum is a way better move. He's won two championships and last season, he was a beast. Oden hasn't played in four years and wasn't that consistent to begin with.

Oden > Bynum. Same risk at this point. Much fewer dinero. I'm down.

 

[BBert]

Oh, hell. Just double down and sign both of them.

 

[santeesioux]

Offer the Phoenix training staff a lot of money and then sign Bynum.

Portland Trail Blazers

The Portland Trail Blazers have been burned one too many times by injuries to make them a true contender for Andrew Bynum's services in the summer of 2013.

Between Brandon Roy and Greg Oden both having their careers cut short due to knee troubles, the last thing Portland fans need is another player with a long history of knee problems.

With roughly $10 million in projected cap space available for 2013 free agents, however, Portland can't be ruled out as a possible destination for Bynum. Pairing him with LaMarcus Aldridge would give the Blazers the size they lacked last year with J.J. Hickson manning the middle.

Rest assured that if the Blazers do decide to pursue Bynum in free agency, his contract will be loaded with prior-injury-exception language to prevent him from becoming a long-term albatross.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Nope. And I beat the crap out of Olshey if he does it. Bynum's a broke-dick jackass with delusions of Shaq-hood.

But tell us how you really feel!

(BTW, I agree with you)

 

[KingSpeed]

Oh, hell. Just double down and sign both of them.

That's not a bad idea at all.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

That's not a bad idea at all.

We'd probably end up with one good knee between the two of them.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

We'd probably end up with one good knee between the two of them.

We just need this guy on the medical staff:
