Should The Lakers Trade Bynum?
Halu Sination:
Imma be 100% real on all aspects. It's no secret that the starting line-up's offense simply runs more smoothly with Odom in there, they are simply amazing when it comes to overwhelming their opponents and dictating the tempo. The only thing is, without Bynum, we lose our x-factor... the player who we could rely on if we CAN'T overwhelm our opponents with the most fluid offense in the NBA.
Honestly though, I don't think we necessarily need that x-factor. But the one thing Bynum offered which we DO need is a huge, physical 7-foot bruiser presence. He doesn't necessarily have to be as valuable as Bynum is, but he needs to fill in some of Bynum's roles, which is playing tough defense and finish plays. I initially thought Mbenga could play that role, but it doesn't seem like Phil likes him too much. Probably because from the looks of it, Mbenga's basketball IQ isn't too high. Hopefully things might shape up come play-offs time.

Honestly, I gotta agree, but it would REALLY depend on who we could get. Anything less than a star player, then fuck that.
Hell, even with Bynum's injuries, trading him for someone like Artest would be retarded. It's not that we can't use a player like Artest, because we could, but Bynum is just worth a hell of a lot more than that. Not to mention Artest has played even less games than Bynum has this season, and missed like 30 games last season. That's not exactly much more reliable than Bynum.

just because Kobe almost snapped his leg in half by FALLING ON IT doesn't make him injury prone
non-Lakers fans just badly want him to be like Greg Oden
if he's running up the court next year and falls down on his own, then you have an argument
until then there is no evidence he's injury prone

what is that supposed to mean? Oden has had one knee surgery. Bynum has had 3.
OG Hack Wilson:
the NBA isn't about Centers anymore it's clearly about PG's
the rule changes over the last 5 years support this too
