Just imagine if he backed up Aldridge man. He's a solid player. 10-15 minutes of toughness!

I also wanted him because I thought he would be a great mentor for Leonard. Jerm had a great jumper and knew how to best use his athleticism, figured he might be able to teach Leonard how to start cashing in on his physical gifts.
 
No shock here but it sounds like Bynums knees are shot:


Bynum adapting game amid knee issues

By Nick Borges | ESPN.com

Andrew Bynum, after missing all of 2012-13 with knee issues, is averaging 6.9 points (shooting 40.6 percent from the floor), 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks. Bynum's knees are still problematic, however he's trying to adjust his game knowing his quickness and agility likely will never come back.

“It’s every time (I got up and down the court,” Bynum told The News-Herald. “I’m playing through that. ... Whenever I try to do anything explosive, it’s (painful). I’ll just stick to the floor -- ground game. Position defense and position offense on the ground."

Bynum, at this point, can only play about 20 minutes per game and that's why he starts. He was able to play on back-to-back nights recently which is a good sign. Other centers, like Roy Hibbert, aren't athletic and that is what Bynum knows he must adjust to moving forward if he wants to continue playing in the NBA. Bynum will likely have knee issues for the duration of his NBA career.

“I think I can play 20 minutes a game pretty comfortably at this point," he said. “I feel good. We’ll just monitor minutes."

I may not be in large company in here, but I absolutely love Jerm. Wished he was our back up too

Nah. One of my biggest disappointments of our offseason. We did a lot that I absolutely liked, but I wanted us to grab JO, and he wanted us to reach out.
 
Mags says we will finish 1-3 in the West and I get 4-8. Steak dinner at Denny's on the line!

While the odds are certainly in your favor, MAGS is on a hot streak! Not to mention a one Jesus Christ on his side. Whatcha know bout that, FAMS?
 
Wait a sec FAMS! You kept claiming TOP 3! My grandfather always said never to trust YOUR kind!
 
And mine tried to shoot yours in Korea in the 50's!
 
Here's that interview by Jermaine O'Neal:

Talks a lot about newfound spirituality, reflects back on Pacers contending teams, and seems on the verge of tears a few times.

You just know Kobe's coming back for that game.

BTW, John Wall is vindicating me for choosing WAS as one of my five LPBB teams. Guy is absolutely BALLIN. Now Kyrie needs to do the same so all of my choices look good.

Talk about synchronicity.

On finding the energy to have his best game in a Warrior uniform:
First off, I gotta give a glory to God. I haven’t been able to practice. I haven’t been able to do anything but rehab. I’ve got the knee, the groin, and the wrist (injuries), I’ve got the viral infection. And God gave me the energy to come out here and perform.

For our team, I keep telling these guys. Trials and tribulations is what builds character and a true championship team. It may not look good all the time, but if we keep fighting, it doesn’t matter who’s on the court. Hopefully these lessons that we learned early — all the injuries, losing some games — will teach us a lesson. I truly believe that at the end of the year, we’re going to be rewarded for these lessons that we learned.

On whether starting in place of Bogut gave him the impetus to get off to a good start:
I told the coaches after the last game that I was going to play (today) no matter what. I’ve been trying to catch a rhythm and getting in a comfort zone. Coach has been giving me great advice, not only as a basketball player but also as a man who’s searching for a new spiritual side of his life. It’s all coming into play for me.
I didn’t know how tonight was going to be. I didn’t know how much endurance I would have. But I prayed about it and hope I can take the same thing to Dallas tomorrow.

On joining the Warriors and the difference between this team and his previous teams:

The difference between this team and (the Pacers) — and it’s a slight difference — but everybody really loves each other. And when you have a group that loves each other, that has no envy about anything that we’re doing, the sky’s the limit. I keep telling these guys, “Do not let this moment pass us by. That’s the only regret that I have in my career because I believed that in Indiana, we would have a chance to win it every year. But multiple things happened — injuries, suspensions, the brawl (Malice at the Palace) — we never got a chance. And here I am in my 18th year, still trying to win that championship. I hope that we can learn, continue to build and get better, and the crazy fans at Oracle continue to give us that love that show us each an every night. I think this is going to be a special year for us.

What are your other two teams?
 
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nba--kendall-marshall-to-join-d-league-210805009.html

After turning down offers in China and Europe, free-agent guard Kendall Marshall, a 2012 Phoenix Suns first-round pick, will join the NBA Development League, sources told Yahoo Sports.

Marshall has entered his name into the D-League's pool of players, and a waiver process early next week will determine which team will acquire him, sources said.

For Marshall, 22, this is a chance to be in position once an NBA call-up opportunity becomes available to him. With the inevitable need for backup point guard help in the NBA, Marshall will likely have a chance to move back up if he plays well in the D-League.

Marshall was the 13th overall pick in the 2012 draft to the Suns and moved onto Washington as part of the Suns' Marcin Gortat trade in November. Without the roster space for Marshall, the Wizards released him.

After entering the draft following his sophomore season at North Carolina, Marshall played 48 games for the Suns last season.
