    We wouldn't have to worry about rebounding off the bench if he were here.

    This was my thought process. Like I said earlier, I do not want him to go to a contender. It will be a win for us, even he doesn't work out, just to keep him away from LAC, OKC, MIA etc...

    I'll take Bynum. Worth a shot.

    If you would take Camby, gotta at least try Bynum.

    I wonder if Andrew Bynum would consider the no state income tax as an advantage for Houston.....

    why go for twin towers when you can have triplet towers?

    Aside from Dwight, who is better than a motivated and healthy Asik and Bynum?

    Winning is a good motivator.

    If that's all that can motivate him, he'll be in Miami.

    I don't want a center who shoots under 42% and has no desire to play the game. He had a few good games this season but on the whole has been pretty lousy. At best you get Asik 2.0. I would rather roll with Dwight and Asik.

    Bynum is a cancer, don't bring him in unless we're planning to tank this year.

    Send him to play Bowling, or to be a hair model.

    Do we really want a guy that the Cavs dropped? We need more leadership, and this guy got kicked off a bad team that needed his help because of locker room issues..

    Only if he first receives one of the following:

    a surgically improved attitude
    a cartilage infusion.

    As neither are currently possible (though the cartilage infusion is getting close!) I say no.

    In his current state, Bynum is a guy you take a flier on. But it's not worth it to take a flyer on a guy who has a rep as a bad game teammate. Odds of payoff aren't worth the locker room troubles.
