Trade for Bynum

by Starvin' Marvin on Nov 30, 2009 11:37 PM PST

Am I the only one that sees the potential for this kid? He is a great scorer, can jump, and grabs rebounds all while having great court vision. I mean, I would even be willing to give up Greg Oden for this kid. His potential is simply amazing. I believe he could be a go to player on our team. He is still pretty raw but I believe if he develops his jump shot a little more and gets more experience under his belt he could be a potential all star. He may have started his career down in the state of California but he is really not that Cali type as he grew up in the east. He also had an incident in January 2008 but I don't think it would impact his standing on this team. It was merely a setback in his career but I think he is past it now and ready to dominate. Over the seasons, he has steadily improved his defense and footwork and I can see that improving in the near future. Last season he had a very memorable game at home against the Bobcats which really put him in the spotlight. He really took over that game in the 4th. Even with a slow start in his career, he has become a very reliable player this season. He really doesn't back down to anyone, especially after burning UConn before heading to the NBA in the 05-06 season.

I would like your take on this. The Blazers are currently in a little slump and a change in the team could be just what they need. How do you think Bynum would fit with this current team? Who would you get rid of for him? Do you even want him?

Ang=Awesome. Thanks for the help.

I think Bynum could be just the difference maker this team needs!

then again, will Bynum ever manage to achieve consistency?

In either event, only if it can be proven to be sarcasm

Bynum is way to injury prone to consider

He is too risky of a pick up to invest so heavily in. Also, he isn’t consistent enough.

I wonder

how many people actually think you are talking about Andrew Bynum…

I like him quite a lot. He also brings experience playing abroad.

He’s like an American Rudy with his dunks and great court vision.

Trade Blake for Bynum

Will Bynum of course. Yes please!

Just for future reference

if you’re going to make a “gotcha” joke post about Will Bynum, leading it off with saying you’d trade Greg Oden for him is a little much.

booooo

who will be better in the long run? Bynum or Greg? it’s just too close to call, better to keep what we have (I like the guy) then risk losing ground on the rest of the West

by sparks89 on Dec 1, 2009 10:07 AM PST reply actions

I agree

Bynum and Greg are pretty close. One thing to consider is if we should add another guard, since we already have about eight. And, centers like Greg are so common, we can probably pick one up off of free agency no problem.
