Why Greg Oden > Andrew Bynum

But they do have to tell him not to foul. ;D
 
Is Biedrins even better than Chris Andersen? Would Biedrens get many minutes at all on a non-Don Nelson team? Biedrins shouldn't even be getting minutes on the Warriors if they played Anthony Randolph and Brandan Wright the minutes they deserve. Go away or stop being silly.

Bynum's rapidly wearing out his welcome in LA. The Lakers should trade him for, oh, somebody to play the "big PG" role that Phil loves. I nominate Rip Hamilton. Then the Lakers could outscore anyone, and they stop having to push talented players like Odom or Gasol out of position to make the big pouty baby happy.
 
Actually, Rip Hamilton on the Lakers would be incredibly good. Although he's getting up there in age.
 
A Rip trade would be awesome, but that would make LA kinda thin on the frontcourt, and overloaded at guards.

Yeah, Greg Oden, is better than Bynum at D.

I'm not saying that he won't, but right now Biedrins definably is.

I agree. Biedrins is fairly underrated. Great rebounder, efficient scorer (though not at all prolific). He's still very young, too. He's consistently overlooked in discussions of the better young big men.

That said, the main difference between Oden and Biedrins this year was largely playing time. If Oden had played as many minutes as Biedrins, he'd have been at least as valuable. I think he'll surpass Biedrins next season.

None of them can play center. The better question would be how good can Biedrins be if he didn't play under Don Nelson. Name a big man that is a post player that has played as well as Biedrins has under Nelson. List is short if any. Biedrins would do better with a coach that actually used big men that can't shoot.
 
I'll agree, Biedrins is underrated and he still has some upside at least.
 
Both these guys were major disappointments compared to all the hype they were receiving in preseason. Let's face it. But I would take Oden over Bynum anyday. Bynum just seems like a lazy, selfish whiner. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if LA looks to move him this offseason, especially with that contract of his.
 
Rag on Bynums knees if u want but its a fact he is only 3 months and change from tearing a ligament...Ive seen Bynum play brutally awesome defense before. I KNOW he can cause ive seen it...It sucks cause even if his knee is fully recovered HE isnt fully recovered right now...All he needs is an injury free year, just like Oden

Tim Thomas was an excellent player in a contract year, too.

They can as well as Biedrins! Biedrins is too small to play C but makes up for it in Nelson's scrambling system by blocking shots and rebounding (at which, like Andersen and A. Randolph, he is very good). I don't imagine Biedrins defending against Yao, Bynum, Oden, Gasol, Big Z or any strong player in the post would be very pretty though. The better the Warriors get, the smaller Biedrins' role will be. He's a novelty player.

Does anyone know how to type out the sounds that Charlie Brown's teachers made?

Something like "wah-wah-WAH-waah" ?

God forbid if the Lakers got Rip they'd have to give him some of Fisher, Sasha, or Farmar's minutes. :dunno:

Outside of Kobe, the Lakers don't really have a backcourt. Their depth currently is their skilled bigs.

True, Bynum is coming off an injury, but it doesn't excuse him for being a whiny bitch to the media about wanting more PT. The playoffs are not the time or the place to be trying to rock the boat. He can handle that business behind closed doors.

Why does he need to be excused from being a whiny bitch? One man's whiny bitch is another man's not being a total pussy.

Shawn Bradley FTW!!:smiley-emptyhead:
 
I perfer Bigs who are mobile and defend the paint well, so I like Bynum, Biedrins, and most of all Greg. Like a lot of other players, they all seem to perform better when they aren't coming off an injury. Also, the sky is blue and the clock stops when the whistle is blown.

STOMP
