Yeah, I have to admit, in the end, that the Oden vs Bynum argument will not be that interesting. Maybe I'm looking through rose garden colored glasses, but I just ain't buying that these guys are going to go down as a huge rivalry. I think Oden will prevail. Somewhat easily. I've been wrong before. And I won't be surprised if I'm wrong again, but I still ain't buying it.
This is kind of funny, but not completely revealing. Did you know the Blazers currently have THREE players on their roster that were drafted BEFORE Bynum in 2005? Yeah. Webster #6 Frye #8 Diogu #9 Bynum #10 I'm not sayin'.........I'm just sayin'.......
As big as Bynum is, he's impossible to be intimidating considering how knocked his knees are. You can talk about size but you can't compare agility/explosiveness. Oden at 100% blows Bynum out of the water in that regard. Also, Bynum has tiny hands for a 7-footer.
I dont know how you know all that stuff as if it was fact but I do know one thing....I watched every single Laker game last year and Bynum has suction cups for hands. I remember rewinding the tivo with my friends to watch a pass he caught that seemed amazing that he did. He has great hands.
Sure Just like I would trade three Sarah Jessica Parkers for one Kate Beckinsale. I would be sad if Martell became a great player but right now I would do that trade.
Grudgingly I have to agree. Bynum for Martell, Diogu, and Frye is actually a pretty fair trade talent wise, especially when you factor in how injury prone Diogu has been in his career, how inconsistent Martell has been, and how ... well there's no nice way to say it ... how soft Channing has been since entering the league. This wouldn't necessarily be a good trade from Portland's perspective since we already have greg, and we need Martell's outside shooting, but in a vaccum Bynum is clearly the more prodigious talent.
