I mean, would it hurt to give him a preseason invite? If he's healthy he could still be good. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG shot yes, but worth the risk maybe?
Bynum/Hill/Davis
Randle/Boozer/
could be a good front court. |

I don't think Kobe would be against it, Nash probably wouldn't mind either.
Between them, they could probably make him behave too, only question is can he actually play? _________________ Lakers, Chargers, Dodgers, Arsenal FC.

Yes, it would, and so would he. Complete waste of a roster spot. (bleep) that guy. |

Sure they'd consider taking a risk on Bynum, much the same way that you'd consider using single ply TP with a massive hemorrhoid. Afterwards you wish you'd just avoided it all together. _________________ I'm On point, On task, On message, and Off drugs. A Streetwise Smart Bomb, Out of rehab and In denial.

If you want to win, you don't want Bynum anywhere near your team. Emphasis on that first clause. |

no, Bynum pretty much lost his passion for basketball already.
There was a reason he didn't play with the Pacers and was told to leave the team...pretty sad |

NO ! LA has too many guys in the frontcourt already. We dont have a need for someone whos going to take up valuable cap-space and hardly contribute cause of injuries. |

They should consider it. If healthy, the starting lineup looks formidable. Based on what I've seen in the summer league Randle could actually be used at the SF and play a Worthy-esque role.
Lin/ Clarkson/ Marshall/ Nash
Bryant/ Young
Randle/ Henry
Boozer/ Kelly/ Davis
Bynum/ Hill/ Sacre |

He's played 26 games in two seasons.
We're about halfway around the globe pass "if healthy". |

I rather not have Bynum on this team full of young and hopeful players. They might see how lazy and unmotivated he is and follow his example. I like hungry players who want to win at all costs. |

This isn't 1985. In 2014 you cannot play a guy like Randle at SF. The defenses are too advanced for that. |

Last time I checked, once the knees are shot they stay shot. |

You are aware that not only are there different knee injuries, they also have a bigger impact on bigger people, right? |

No. Bynum's legs are gone, and his heart with them. Just sitting around waiting for another sucker to take a chance on him for another payday. |

Bynum who tried making comebacks for 3 different teams since the trade and succeeded with none of them?
You wanna sign that guy?

Is Bynum even trying to stay in the NBA? He's done. The fork was in him a while back. Now it's rusted. |
