    Gasol will be. Bynum would be a toss-in...Bynum is garbage.

    Gasol+Bynum for d Howard. Other players involved in both sides to makes the money work.

    He is not going to last long in this league with acts like today. Rodman was tough and borderline dirty, but he respected the game enough not to do something stupid like Bynum did today. Anybody remember or got some vids of Rodman putting out a player like Bynum did today.

    I would expect at least 20 games suspension next season for Bynum. Then I would expect an enforcer to take out his knees.

    Any deal for Howard will involve Jameer Nelson... Fisher has no business starting on any team in the NBA, he can still make a clutch shot here and there but he can't run with younger PGs at all.

    I doubt the Lakers will deal Bynum. He was scouted hard by the owners son, who insisted the Lakers draft him... as a favorite, I cannot see him going anywhere.

    #1 he is a very old 23, he has been in the league 5 years, and at his size has alot of milage, especially when you consider the type of injuries he has had.

    #2 Defensively he is good, but inconsistent... and how good is he really, when he can't stay on the court 30 minutes a game and misses alot of games.

    #3 How do you know he isn't already in his prime? His injuries, and style of play are not the type to play a long time.

    I would take him, but not at the cost the Lakers would want. The Rockets need an anchor inside, someone that will defend 35 minutes a night, 75 games a year... AND THAT IS NOT BYNUM.

    People considering Bynum are short sited to the aspects of what they are getting into. It's ironic because these same people diss Yao but he was iron man for his first couple seasons and was a much more dominant force than Bynum who sat out and was injured in some if not most of the 2008-20011 Laker's Dynasty Run.

    at least we can lure him here with underage girls and some burgers.

    for real, do not want. 40 yr old mutombo showed him up. He's just coasting till the next mutombo comes around and embarrases him. then he'll elbow the smallest player on that team.

    I'd take him and hope he matures sooner rather than later. Bottom line is...we need a center badly.

    The guy's a soulless moron. Same stupid trout mouth look on on his face whenever the camera shot gets to him. 3 hard fouls with suspensions and he still doesn't get the picture.

    Do we really want to turn into the fans that cheer on that behavior and pass it off as enforcer-ism? On Lakerground they would agree that shots like Bynum's and Fisher's on Scola was one for the good fight.

    Pushing into the first row of folding chairs =/= Elbow to exposed ribs of a shooting player.

    Why don't we start another poll about someone else we can't have?

    I'd rather take a chance on Greg Oden.

    Injury prone with character/prima donna issues: NO.

    He might be good for a local haberdashery for the Street Clothes he'll be wearing behind the bench.

    Looks pretty bad.

    Who was the baddest of the Bad Boys? Laimbeer, Rodman, Mahorn, or Sally?

    Sally probably shouldn't be on the list along with Thomas, Dumars, Dentley and Microwave Johnson.
