Re: Blazers interested in Bynum Chris Haynes @ChrisBHaynes - #Blazers fans you can relax. GM Neil Olshey isn't interested/pursuing Andrew Bynum, according to well-placed source. Not going there!
Re: Blazers interested in Bynum No I was saying that if Bynum is done; then we would; because we would go to proper rebuild mode. Basically trading Aldridge for draft picks; maybe even getting rid of Matthews too
Re: Blazers interested in Bynum Steve Kyler @stevekylerNBA 4m Just so we have the stage properly set... there are two people who talk about where free agents land... agents and teams trying to misdirect
Re: Blazers interested in Bynum Have we not learned enough from Oden and Bowie. No more big men with knee problems! I'm glad we're not interested. Though if it were for 5 mil or less for only a year or two, then I might consider it.
Re: Blazers interested in Bynum Fuck no! Not only are his knees shot, he's 48 years old......you guys seen all his grey hair? Sent from my baller ass iPad FAMS!
Re: Blazers interested in Bynum I'm not thrilled at the idea, honestly, but if we were to sign him for the 3 year deal that Mags suggested, I wouldn't be opposed to it.
Re: Blazers interested in Bynum Olshey wants to to tie his cap space up on a guy who won't stay on the court and is a colossal douche Makes sense
Re: Blazers interested in Bynum No way, let's overpay Dalembert or Splitter and be the 8th seed. That'll keep LaMarcus here.
Re: Blazers interested in Bynum the medical reasons I remember hearing for his missing all of last season mostly hearing were bone "bruises" (see below), IMO that's just another way of saying he's bone on bone (see B Roy) and has no or very little cartilage left. I didn't even realize he had issues in BOTH knees and Synvisc did not seem to help - stay as far away as possible "Bynum has missed the entire 2012-13 campaign due to bone bruises in his both knees. Asked what is keeping him from playing, Bynum replied, “My doctor said it’s fear of a big bone bruise, so we need to nurse it back up to playable conditions without having a setback or creating a bone bruise.” While he’s still isn’t even playing 1-on-1 in his workouts, he said he’s progressing to the point where his sessions last as long as three hours and consist of running, lifting weights and basketball drills. He’s running on the anti-gravity treadmill with 75-80 percent of his body weight. Bynum said it hurts when he does “jumping, lateral movement and defensive slides” and wonders if it’s a range-of-motion issue. The second set of Synvisc shots he received Thursday in New York from personal physician Dr. David Altchek don’t seem to be helping much, according to Bynum, though his right knee “feels phenomenal
Re: Blazers interested in Bynum Does it make you a colossal douche that you believe everything you read?
Re: Blazers interested in Bynum I posted this in the rumors thread, but I think it should be here as well. Kurt Helin @basketballtalk 37m Andrew Bynum won’t work out for teams as a free agent I think that's a huge "no" for Bynum.
Re: Blazers interested in Bynum his agent said this morning he won't even work out for teams - what does that tell U about his knees? stay away from this jerk!!!!!
