Bosh for Bynum? Would you do it?

We would become the most versatile from being the tallest front line in the nba...

im 50-50 on this... i dont know

 

I hope this doesn't happen. I dunno if this Raptors turnaround is gonna change Bosh's mind. I wouldnt even trade Bargnani for Bynum.

 

Bynum is a beast, hands down... but he is way too inconsisntent and the lakers need to sort of "baby" him... he needs to literally be the Center of attention to be able to produce.

The only thing i wouldn't like about this trade is we will be smaller and weaker on D. Especially against big guys like Dwight, Perkins and Shaq (if the make the finals LOL, i just have a feeling that shaq will explode in the conf. finals or finals... not sure)

 

Shaq is gonna explode. Not like L.A. but, its a real problem when you gotta stop Lebron, Shaq, and shooters. Yes Bosh is weaker than Bynum, but Bosh is committed to putting on even more weight next offseason. Bosh is the best PF (offensive) in the L. Dirk is a close second but doesn't have Bosh's post game. Lakers would win for sure if they added Bosh.

 

Bosh the best offensive pf? id give that to dirk just bec. u said "offense"

 

Obviously Dirk is a better perimeter player. But in the paint Bosh is way better.

 

I'd say there's more offensive value in a guy who can stretch defenses and open up the court for his teammates.

Dirk's shooting and versatility creates so many great looks for his teammates, indirectly.

 

First of all, it's the NY Post. Look who wrote it.

Second of all, Bynum is BYC. It's gonna be hard to make salaries match even if they agreed to a trade.

That being said, it's not happening.

Mitch should be looking for ways to upgrade at PG and improve the bench. If we swap Drew with Bosh we still end up with the same problems, same weaknesses.

 

They wouldn't trade Bynum. Gasol and Bosh are pretty close, but I would rather have Bosh of course. I wouldn't make this trade, I would rather be committed to keeping Bosh and getting better players around him.

 

This might not make others happy, but I'm actually getting tired of Bynum's primadonna-ness (not a word). He only plays well when he is the center of attention, and that won't work on a star studded team. He doesn't go for rebounds often, doesn't really box out, and even if he does he just reaches his arms out and not jump. He doesn't block shots that are basically there for the swatting.

Me too. I hope he snaps out of it. He is capable of so much more, he should be dominating.

 

*Correction... dominating alongside Gasol...

 

This explains Drew's dominating performance tonight.

He probably heard about this. His ass doesn't want to go to Toronto. lol

 

Yeah I put him in his place.

 

here's what i think- i dont trust bynum's knees and with the recent spate of injuries to large plodding big men like oden, yao and bynum's own well documented history of injuries- i would be hesitant to pull that trade off but there is too much talent to not consider it. although, from a raptor perspective- i think houston offers the better package with expiring contracts and young talent (i.e. carl landry) and the possibility to unload hedo as well in any package.
