Bogut’s money is justified because it’s hard to find a dude that can give u a solid double-double nightly from the center position. Think of all the teams in the East or West that could have used someone like Bogut. In fact, the Cavs should package Big Ben and Wally for Bogut and a draft pick. I know it’ll never happen but a brotha can dream, right?

Here is what Buss and all the Laker fans need to ask themselves: Can you really see Bynum being the centerpiece of the team in 3-4 years? Or is he always going to be a role-player.

You can at least justify the Bogut money. He has been healthy, averages a double-double, and has steadily improved YoY.

I don’t understand why everyone is trippin about a dude that has played about 40 good games in his career and just a year ago was a fat, out of shape project.

If Kobe hadn’t killed him last summer, he probably would still be that.

Biggest mistake the Lakers would ever make if they give him a max deal this summer.

About this Bynum being overrated junk, y’all be killin dude. It’s a business and even as a Lakeshow fan, i expect dude to ask for the max just cuz he’s in demand. His agent ain’t askin for the max if AB is still injured. Soon as I seen Bogut get that 72 mill extension, I knew there was gonna be expectations. If Bynum comes back to have the same season he had last year and stays healthy, he’ll get what he wants. Quick, name a good center out east outside of DHoward…Bring Bogut out west and see how that go. Shoot, even the Celtics lost when Perkins didn’t play. Who would you take? AB or KP? If you payin Diop 31M, Bogut 60-72M, Dalembert 60M, someone’s def’nitely gonna throw money at dude, whether you think a 20 year old who’ll have 4 seasons of duty before he can legally drink and averaged 13 10 and 2 with 62% is overrated or not, you still want him on your squad
