    I know i know, everyone is totally frightened by Bynum not only because hes injury prone but because hes a knucklhead. But, with the 76ers getting Noel, Bynum is available.

    If he pans out, this team is a top-3 Western Conference team, if he doesnt, well then we're screwed, but thats where we are anyways.

    Bynum is done in Philly. That was a bad deal for them.

    I want to disagree, but really, it's go big or go home at this point.

    Offer Bynum the entire amount of cap space on a 3-year deal and see what happens. If the team doesn't get better next year and make the playoffs, it will be bye bye LMA, and yet another rebuilding effort.

    If he can stay healthy (I know, I know) he moves the needle. Pekovic doesn't, IMO.

    Well, the Blazers did just hire some wiz kid. Let see what NPH can do.

    I can't believe they gave up Jrue. He had possibly the one of the best contracts in the game and is a 23 yo all star. Dumbasses

    It's better than Dalembert, Kaman, or Gortat.

    Looking at Bynum's career he's basically a lock to miss 25-30 games a season

    He's an injury prone dipshit

    Stay.

    Away.

    I would be shocked if Bynum decided to come to Portland, even if we did offer the biggest contract. Doesn't seem like a podunk Portland kind of guy.

    Hasn't he said he's all about the biggest contract?

    I've been on the Bynum bandwagon for a while now.

    He'd definitely be the Blazer with the best hair.

    Exactly. I don't think center is so crucial that we need to blow the whole nut on a guy who can't stay healthy. I'd rather go after Tony Allen and Dalembert. If the goal is to win now and try to keep Aldridge happy, you want to strengthen the bench. I think this team makes the playoffs with even two decent vets on the bench this season. The funny thing is, if we still had Miller and Crawford coming off our bench, I think we win quite a few more games. This team needs defense and rebounding. Forget swinging for the fences, we need to plug some holes.

    Offer him a three year with the third being a team option. It's a two year gamble. If it doesn't pan out; we lose Aldridge and bynum's salary for a full and proper rebuild. If it does pan out; we would be conference favorites

    That's not a bad plan. Why do you think he'd go for it though? This is a guy who hasn't been healthy much. I would bet he wants some security in what will most likely be his last major deal.

    I just don't see any team willing to give him more with the new cba. If he turns out to be a bust; that would cripple any franchise that took the risk.

    If he gets more; than more power to him for suckering a franchise.
