    Dan Gilbert and Bynum deserve each other.

    You gotta be kidding me... They must mean 2.4 million, that seems more in his range.

    This is a good move, assuming it has a team option on the 2nd year, if not, this is a horrible move.

    Team option for the second year right? Wow that is just way too much regardless. They're really banking on him returning to the old Bynum.

    Bad move for Bynum. He will have a lot of spare time nursing injuries, and there is nothing to do in Cleveland. Ask scolaisballin.

    If it has a team option it is a great move. They get to see what they are getting and keep the option of dropping him if he's hurt etc etc. If he accepts that is.

    Not really. They have a ton of cap space and there aren't any great free agents left. Why not use that space on the guy with most upside? If it doesn't work out you decline the team option next year and move on.

    Just be very glad that we got Dwight Howard. If we didn't, I think there's a reasonable chance that twitter message would have Houston in the title instead of the Cavs.

    If there is an option on the second year I can see how that is a gamble worth making. Adding a reasonably healthy Bynum to the team they have would make them a pretty exciting team in the East.

    When he was healthy he was the 2nd best center. So it makes sense he keeps getting money.

    I don't see how he declines this either, it's best for him too unless someone throws a insane long deal at him. He gets to prove he's worth a bigger contract too.

    Cleveland has a bank and a bowling alley, he should be fine.

    The Sensei to Royce White when it comes to getting paid without playing. Royce White will be so proud of him.

    Don't they have enough bigs already? It baffles me that teams don't let young guys develop anymore. You have Zeller and Thompson. You drafted Bennett. You signed Earl Clark. Let these dudes play! Now, hypothetically, they're going to be wasting away behind Andrew Bynum and Anderson Varejao. It's so weird to me. Varejao and Bynum are good enough players but why hinder the development of youth??
