    One question for LakerNation.

    Would you trade Bynum for the #1 pick in this year’s draft and get Derrick Rose who is the next Chris Paul?

    Would you take a dominant center over a dominant PG?

    Never trade a big for a small.

    the only thing bad about this news is that he wont be back THIS season and we really need his big body this post season.

    Don’t be ridiculous. He will be good, but the best? I haven’t seen that much greatness, he has just shown me athleticism. Plus, half of his spectacular plays are alley-oops, not much 1 on 1 strong offense like Dwight. Plus, Dwight can get better, they’re around the same age

    next season he will be even more hungry! to all guards in the league be very afraid of drivin cause Bynum is going to knock ur ass to the floor haaaaaaaaaaaard!!!

  22. Gravatar Icon 22 DCLAKER

    Bynum will be our version of Hakeem/Kareem,footwork,strength,versatile(can pass),etc.

    Next year opponents will be very INTIMIDATED when…………LAKEZILLA MAKES IT’S DEBUT: AB/PAU/LO!!!

    once andrew bynum returns to 100% next season, the lakers can finally debut their 3-headed monster that everyone has been waiting for. NO, and i mean, NO team in the league right now can match the size, strength, length, and versatility of a front court featuring andrew bynum, pau gasol, and lamar odom. they will smother the guards on penetration and eat up all the rebounds. i say that all three of them just stand in a straight line, shoulder to shoulder, and spread out both arms. the sum of all their wingspans would probably be about 20 feet, give or take.

    bynum is gnna dominate next year….lakers will be unbeatable

    Oden will be back next season as well. That would be an intriguing match-up. They have a pretty sizable front line but I think the Lakers have more versatility and better chemistry. And they also have the Black Mamba.
