For those of you who are as easily entertained as I am, here's a picture Bynum from a couple days ago walking his dog after letting it shit in the street. Looks like Crocker Park

If bending down to pick up dog shit is detrimental to his knees, I say leave the shit where it is :chuckles:

Fire hydrants are 26" tall, by my math, Bynum is now 7' 13".

By this account, the people crossing the street are 4 foot tall and quite possibly Oomploompas. 6'6" would kick ass in the Oomploompa league.
 
I wonder if lives in those Crocker units??

My buddy lives there. I wanna stop by and visit Andrew..
 
Wow. Hadn't logging in for a couple weeks, being down time and all, came in today to catch up and discovered that Bynum is permanently injured and a total flop and his season is over and the whole thing is already destroyed. :bigcry:

So then I went in search of what bombshell new info came out that has everyone so desperately down and I found...nothing. Not a darn thing has changed from what was known weeks ago and really, all along. My goodness people, do you ride the roller coaster of your emotions like this in your daily lives? Every little thing sending you all into hysterical tizzies?

Yeah, Bynum might not work out. But he might. And either way, it's too soon to know. Sheesh, people, pop a prozac, even out those emotions, get a grip, and let things play out.
 
It's rumored that Bynum's new favorite coffee mug was left behind when Grady moved out.

And in the words of Cavaliers coach Brown, the 25-year-old Bynum has one redeeming quality above all else, one enormous reason the Cavaliers were willing to take a chance on him by luring him to Cleveland with a potential two-year, $24 million contract.
"He could very easily be the best center in the game," Brown said. "Not only in the game today, but he's skilled enough and has the rest of the tools to go along with it to be one of the best ever."

"I just need to prove I can get on the court," Bynum said recently. "That's really it. When I'm on the court, I'm a problem (for opponents). If I'm not on the court, obviously, that's where the critics go crazy. I really just want to get on the court and play."

"I don't really have an explanation," Bynum said. "It's just what happened, my knees just weren't healthy. For whatever reason, it took a very long time for me to get back on my feet. That's really it. Cartilage was just breaking and nobody knew why."

Still, according to a 2011 Sports Illustrated article, since he was a child, Bynum's doctors have been concerned with his Q angle – the relationship between his pelvis, leg and foot. "Andrew is challenged in terms of his skeleton," Lakers head athletic trainer Gary Vitti told Sports Illustrated. "But we can work with those issues to some degree. What you can't do is take someone with a normal Q angle and make him 7 feet, 285 pounds."

"My first three coaches and role models were Kobe, Phil Jackson and Kareem (Abdul-Jabbar)," Bynum said. "I was really lucky in that I got to see what true work ethic was, I got to be coached by Phil, and with Kareem, work on footwork and talk about the game."
 
Bynum is our version of Noel. I just hope he's ready for the second half and the play off push. If he takes awhile it gives us an extended look at Bennett. Not a bad thing.

I think he means that Bynum is our franchise center gamble.

We could have gambled on Noel getting healthy, getting strong enough to play in the NBA, and developing an offensive game if they spent a draft pick on him; or we could gamble on Bynum getting healthy by using cap space.

Noel's got a lot better chance to get healthy, but he's got a lot to prove.

Bynum's got a slim chance at getting healthy, but when he's healthy, he's a proven impact player.

Bynum gamble has a high chance of paying out nothing, but the max payout looks higher than what I could expect from Noel, and all the Cavs had to wager was a 1/2 season of cap space, not a #1 draft pick.

So if the actual choices were Noel & cap space that they might not be able to use, or Bynum & Bennett, I take Bynum & Bennett, of course they didn't know that Bynum was going to be available on draft night.
