    Yes he's a very physical, dirty player. Who cares, he's not throwing punches or anything. There's always going to be dirty players in the league, this is nothing new. Bynum could kick kittens as a side job for all i care he has talent, we need that and anybody who wouldn't love for him to be on our team is not in the right state of mind.

    Sadly if he was worth the max then yes, I'd swallow my pride and just let him be a complete tool. However he is no better than Howard and won't come close to touching HOF territory.

    If you dont honestly like this play on your team and would rather watch Scola flop all over the play I dont know what to tell you other than to change your stick.

    I don't like floppers or people that intentionally try to injure other players.
    There are not enough players that let their game do the talking for them anymore.

    How can you be so passionate of an average player like Lin, yet so against a top 2 talent at his position?

    Agree. He would be the man here and average atleast 24 PPG and 10 REB

    He's a better post player than Howard. He's also 2 years younger.

    He is the second best Center in the NBA. Swallow your pride. What would you do if we end up getting him?

    I don't get why some of you guys don't want Bynum. He's got a fighter mentality from the 90s and will back his teammates up whenever. I miss those players. Only MWP is left, and Bynum. Maybe you've just gone p***y. I'd rather have him than Dwight the drama queen who wants superfriends to team up with and gets everybody fired. Why would you want that type of player to lead our team? Especially considering that this organization is built with hearts of a champion, not Divas.
    Bynum has already won championships and don't you think he would love to be mentored by cocky McHale, The great Olajuwon, and Yao Ming? Hell be continuing the greatness.of Rockets centers.

    You really think Dwight deserves to be among the great centers here? After everything he did to Magic organization. No thanks. I'd rather take my chance on an immature kid who don't mind being in Houston

    The next move is to snap up O.j mayo and add him to the lineup that features whoever is not apart of the trade!You would have your franchise center/player and a young stud on the perimeter! plus the chance to bring back Aaron Brooks. I'd say we were on our way to relevance again

    There's an obvious Asian bias towards him. Come on now.

    In Bynum's case his fragility and proneness to lose his temper and get ejected/suspended during key moments of the season is not worth it.

    I will facepalm at Morey for the second time if he's traded here.

    One of the things I love about the Thunder?

    THEY REFUSE TO DISREGARD CHARACTER.

    At least Artest TRIED to change. Bynum never changed.

    Forgiveness is nothing without change.

    He may be the better post player and be 2 years younger, but I'd rather have the better all-around, more popular (in the NBA) player out of the two in Dwight Howard.

    Besides, getting Howard may be more of a risk, but if he stays (miracle of all miracles) it will attract premium players like a Chris Paul, for example to play here with him. No premium player/superstar will want to play with Bynum. Please...

    This is what happens when people become too emotionally attached to the point they care of the players personality and morals. He isn't going to be baby sitting ur kids man. He's going to play basketball home boy, and thats all that matters. CHILL out.

    He averaged 12 REB next to Pau. I imagine he'll at least maintain that rate next to Scola, PPat, Moti, or whoever.

    Swallow my pride anyway. LMAO. However there is a chance we're getting Howard and I'll fight until the bitter end!
