I've also read that Bynum wants the max.

^Wrong...Bynum said he doesn't mind signing for less. It's his agent who spoke up and said he wants more...in the end, it's really up to Bynum to decide what he wants, and he'll definitely remain a Laker.

Ticket prices go up for the third year in a row. Sasha Vujacic, Ronny Turiaf haven't signed offer sheets.
By Mike Bresnahan, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
July 9, 2008
The Lakers increased ticket prices across the board for a third consecutive season, a relatively unsurprising action after the team paid almost $5 million in luxury taxes on last season's payroll and faced a larger tax hit next season.
Courtside seats were raised from $2,300 to $2,500 a game, an 8.7% hike that moved beyond the typical annual increase of 4.5%.
Seats in six lower-level sections between the baskets -- 101, 102, 110, 111, 112 and 119 -- were raised from $230 to $245, a 6.5% increase that also topped the team's normal action on such seats.
The league average for ticket-price increases is usually 3% to 4%.
Other tickets in the lower bowl at Staples Center will be $210, $147, $110, and $85, increases of 4.8% to 6.3%.
Tickets in the upper bowl were raised slightly to $40 or $28, not including 500 seats that are a league-mandated $10.
