He would be great for the rest of the season since he is playing for his next contract. Look to him to play great in the playoffs.

No, you're right. The Heat are one of the few contenders that can offer Bynum more than the Rockets. Because the Heat are in the luxury tax though, that $3.2M essentially turns into $6.4M for them. Not sure if their owner is willing to pay a guy they may not actually need. We should know pretty soon. I wouldn't mind Bynum joining the Rockets at all, but I'm guessing his agent is just using the Rockets as leverage. We'll see.

Does Indy have capspace to sign Bynum? I wouldn't want Indy to get Bynum, they might get too overpowered. Or actually if they get Bynum, they might self-destruct.
http://espn.go.com/blog/marc-stein/post/_/id/1154/race-to-sign-andrew-bynum-starts-slow The race to sign Andrew Bynum appears to be unfolding at a slower pace than Bynum hoped. The 26-year-old became a free agent Thursday night after clearing waivers, but the latest rumblings on the league's personnel grapevine suggest that more teams are backing away from the idea as opposed to gambling on the talented but undependable 7-footer. Sources told ESPN.com on Sunday that the Los Angeles Clippers, long presumed to be one of Bynum's primary suitors, are leaning against the prospect of signing the enigmatic former Los Angeles Laker. ESPN.com reported Thursday that the Brooklyn Nets (after losing Brook Lopez) and Atlanta Hawks (after losing Al Horford) were likewise planning to pass on the idea despite their clear need at center, with sources subsequently adding that the Oklahoma City Thunder are not preparing a bid on Bynum in the wake of the recent trade that shed the contract of Ryan Gomes to take the Thunder nearly $2.3 million away from the luxury-tax threshold. Teams with a known interest, sources said, include Dallas and New York, but both of those suitors, like the Clippers, are restricted to offering a minimum salary. Bynum, meanwhile, is said to be looking for an offer above the league minimum to recoup more of the $6 million he lost when Chicago waived Bynum immediately Tuesday after acquiring him in a trade for Luol Deng. Sources said Sunday that the Indiana Pacers are also among the teams to have expressed exploratory interest in Bynum, but it remains to be seen whether Indy's involvement progresses to the point of a formal offer. The Miami Heat were widely considered co-favorites in the Bynum hunt -- along with the Clippers -- as soon as the injury-riddled big man became a free agent. Miami still has its taxpayer midlevel exception of nearly $3.2 million available to chase Bynum, but how much of that the Heat are willing to spend is another source of uncertainty given their luxury-tax situation. ESPN's Chris Broussard reported last week that Bynum's decision will be based on playing time, playoff prospects and the money being offered by the teams that lodge formal bids.
They wont self destruct. They just dont want Miami to get him. Hibbert/Bynum will be a awesome combo.

Rather have Camby since we need interior D and veteran leadership at C more than we need a lazy, whiny, out of shape, chronically injured, supremely talented C.
Ive never seen so much interest in a guy who clearly quit basketball 2 years ago. Anybody who believes this dude is going to contribute in a playoff run is either extremely naive or an utter moron
the thing with Bynum is...he can shoot jumpers, if Asik could do that consistently, then the twin towers would have worked
Bynum was one of the most unprofessional players to ever wear a Lakers uniform. Injuries or not, the guy has even stated he has no passion for the game. No amount of money, prestige, criticism, etc, etc....can make an unmotivitated multimillionaire get off his sorry ass and "want to play" the game
