    If Andrew Bynum can stay durable then he can easily be at Dwights level. Except the shot blocking and rebounding maybe. But potentially Andrew Bynum can be a Top 2 center in the NBA.

    I'd still take Dwight Howard over Andrew Bynum

    Bynum probably has a higher ceiling than Howard. But the likelihood of reaching that ceiling is quite low. Howard doesn't have these problems that Bynum has:

    Health
    Focus
    Mental roughness
    Work ethic (allegedly)

    All these issues cannot easily be solved.

    Bynum is too injury-prone, that alone makes him worth at most half of Howard's value. And Bynum still gets way more assisted baskets than Howard, it's always easier when the defense doesn't focus on him.

    Right, then why did Stern have to veto the trade to get CP3 for Lakers.
    NBA is indeed a joke. But not the way you look at it, Stern is doing whatever he can to crown his stepson in south beach.

    Three games... let's see him do it in an extended sample before we start making ridiculous comparisons.

    What is the higher ceiling you see? I think being the best center in the league, winning DPOY every year is a pretty high ceiling that Howard had.....Maybe you mean he could score 30 pts every game ....now that is different

    Cuz the owners got fed up with his favoritism BS and finally made a fuss about it to STOP him?

    Remember, Stern let it through in the FIRST place.

    LOL, then why didn't Stern stop LeBron and Bosh. And it wasn't like they didn't have any discussion about it beforehand (clear violation of rule).

    Stern acted like Hornets management could work independently, then veto for "basketball reason". He's playing a dictator and liar at the same time. It's well know Stern likes LA the market, but hates Kobe personally. He could also stop it when it's still in negotiation if he chose to and Odom wouldn't be so upset and demand trade. In any sense, the Gasol trade brought Grizzles cap room and a young Marc Gasol. It's the best trade they could make even in retrospect.

    Superman > Andrew Bydud.

    I miss Yao, he would shut both of these dudes down.
