Pacers sign Bynum for NBA title chase

(AFP) – 5 hours ago

New York — Andrew Bynum, the free agent center who helped the Los Angeles Lakers to two NBA titles, signed with the Indiana Pacers for the remainder of the season on Saturday.
The 26-year-old 7-footer joins a Pacers team that has the best record in the Eastern Conference at 35-10 and trails only Oklahoma City (38-10) in the overall standings with nearly half the season to play.
"We are obviously happy to have him join our team," Pacers President of Basketball Operations Larry Bird said. "He gives us added size. He is a skilled big man and he has championship experience. With the minutes he gets, he should be a valuable addition."
Bynum has averaged 11.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.6 blocked shots and 1.2 assists a game over 416 career NBA games.
Bynum played seven seasons for the Los Angeles Lakers, including their 2009 and 2010 NBA championship teams, but was traded in 2012 to Philadelphia, where knee problems caused him to miss the entire 2012-13 campaign.
After being signed by Cleveland this season, Bynum averaged 8.4 points and 5.3 rebounds over 24 games for the Cavaliers before being suspended and later traded to the Chicago Bulls, who released him.
Bynum will join the Pacers next week, serving in a backup role for Roy Hibbert but in a position to enter the game for key minutes every night.
"It really wasn't a hard decision," Bynum said. "I think it's the right fit for me and, in all honesty, I think we have got the best chance of winning.
"It will be great to back up Roy and I'll do whatever I can to help this team."

they comin out the east...mark it.

[Hack Wilson - real]

if you can get this guy to stop parking in handicap spots for the next 4 months this can be a great move


but i still don't see them beating the Heat in a 7 game series yet.  Either way whoever wins the east (Miami or Indy) wins the NBA title imo.

Vegas is going to make a killing on Pacers losing to Miami. Watch.

OKC OVER INDIANA IN 6

miami over OKC in 6...

[whoisthis]

Starting Frontline:

George/West/Hibbert

Backup Frontline:

Granger/Scola/Bynum

Their back ups are starters on any other team. Granger and Bynum are 1st or 2nd options easily. That line up would be a playoff team for sure. The Pacers just got even better. They've made a lot of small, but major moves.

If Pacers come out as Eastern Champions, it sure as fuck ain't gonna be cuz of Bynum lol, and this is coming from someone who supported him rooted for him while he was busy bullshitting.

The only thing that really goes in his favor is that Indiana is a hardcore basketball town so maybe that will inspire him again, but there's a reason why Cavs, Bulls, Miami, and Clips all didn't want this dude.

I actually heard that some of the players aren't happy about this.

yea...ian manhimi

Who even knows how healthy he's gonna be? Dude was complaining about his knees being shot and not being able to do anything he used to when he was on the Cavs. Could still be a nice bench player probably but the idea that he would be a second option on most teams is pretty over-the-top.

[Sccit]

i watched him in cleveland and he was very productive...he only got 30 minutes once in 24 games, but in that game, he had 20 points 10 rebounds and 5 blocks. duno how his knee felt after the game, but he's clearly still able to produce when given the chance.

NIK also thought he was going to be the next Kareem



bynum is a DUD who will never be shit

[Chamillitary Click]

There were also rumors when he was released by the Bulls that the Pacers would sign him simply so the Heat couldn't.

So it remains to be seen what he even does for this team.

Lol you've always made dude out to be a medocre player when that wasn't the case. Injury-prone? Absolutely, but he averaged 18/12/2 in his last full season, lets not act like he was never good (although I'm sure you will).
