I hope Bynum gets the max deal- even if he gets it next year, it'll be a poor business risk by the Lakers. I think the Lakers are smart enough not to max him out now, but will be dumb enough to do it next season after only having seen 1.5 good seasons. The more money the Lakers spend, the better. BTW, I still think it's in Kobe's best interest to sign with us next year.
That's the elephant in the room, imo. He can get his max money, come to a team poised to win ring after ring, and play SF. Of course, there be a lot of miles on them thar legs. And Wookee's waiting to strangle me just for saying it.
Not just Wook. There would be a line of Blazer fans like that line of people in "Airplane" telling that woman to get ahold of herself. I'll be the one dressed like a nun with a .38.
