    Pay him a million or two to keep him off any other team's playoff roster, is my bet.

    Or that. I don't know why you'd sign someone who has publicly said he doesn't care for the game of basketball to a contending team. That seems bass ackwards.

    Maybe if you knew you'd have to play against a huge center like Hibbert and needed an extra body that didn't have degenerating knees... basically, to keep Miami from getting him, imho. Cheap defensive maneuver.

    Its a good move for Indy. Low risk, high reward. He was playing at times at an all star level. And when he has guys out there who are motivated and will push him, Bynum will play at an All Star level eventually. This is what championship teams do, they take risks on questionable guys. Miami with Oden. Indiana with Bynum.

    swing for the fences, yo.

    If they can get him to play and be a professional. It's a very scary acquisition for the rest of the league. I am a little suprised that an organization that does their business very similarly to this one here in Portland would take a chance on him. But there is no doubt that he is a talent and if he is right will do nothing but help someone.

    Do you really think the Blazers want a big guy with bum knees who's a lockerroom cancer? Baffles the mind!

    Because they'll cut him before the playoffs but after the last day to join a playoff roster, and I bet he'll probably never get near the team.
