<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Although sources have indicated the Lakers may be interested in trading for <u>Jason Kidd</u>, they may be reluctant to give up the player the Nets want most, <u>Andrew Bynum</u>, despite coach Phil Jackson's recent harsh criticism of the 20-year-old center's conditioning. Bynum reacted to Jackson's remark by matching his career-high with 20 points against Golden State Sunday night.</p> </p> -netsdaily.com</div></p> Source</p>
The Lakers weren't willing to deal Bynum last year, they definitely won't deal him this year for Kidd. Pretty weak re-hash of an old story based on a stupid PJax quote.</p> Slow news day I guess.</p> I still think the Rockets are the team to keep an eye on if Kidd is dealt.</p>
Bynum last night, 20/11/5. ppl called me crazy for wanting to trade Kidd for him last year but now you haters can regret ur words.</p>

He's been tearing it up this year because he finally worked hard in the offseason and took his career serious.</p> </p>

I don't see the Lakers trading Bynum, and you don't want what else they might offer. Hard to find a Western trade partner right now.</p>
I still think Bynum is a bit overrated. Yes, I'd trade him for Kidd but I'm sure if we got Sean a personal coach and made him the centerpeice of the future, he would half decent too. Heck, 20 points? Seans hit that in his first 20 games and he's only 21.</p>

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Real)</div><div class='quotemain'></p> What did Kobe say last summer? Ship his ass out?</p> </div></p> That was last summer. Things have changed since then and Bynum has become an impact player. The Lakers and Nets should have done a deal last year because the Lakers were in a position to get a high seed and would be able to make a title run with Kobe-Odom-Kidd out West.</p> This year Bynum has been labled "untouchable"</p> </p>

Didn't TMac leave there to get out of VC's shadow? I guess VC will be in TMac's shadow this time around.</p>
