    Granted, there are later stories saying the Lakers are unwilling to part with Bynum.

    It does fit with the theme of the trades Denver has supposedly considered, which all involved a young big. Noah, Favors, and now Bynum.

    It's hard to see why they'd take Bynum, though. He's oft injured and has a huge contract.

    Bynum would be a horrible pick-up. He's a ticking bust.

    Well, if the choice is Bynum, Wilson Chandler, or nothing, it at least gets a little easier to see why they'd take the risk on Bynum. It's still not a very good set of options.

    Bynum: 'Melo talk just rumors'

    "It's just another rumor as far as I'm concerned," a nonchalant Bynum said Wednesday. "I was caught up in [Chris] Bosh and Pau [trade speculation], so it's nothing new to me. I'm just going to keep playing basketball.

    I think this rumor got traction because it was a slow news day and ESPN was looking to grab some quick website hits.
