Tom

Is he? care to venture why you feel that way?

Stats are similar, effect on the team is similar, only thing thats different is level of hype. And, what do you know? Bogut plays in a place that no-ones covers and Bynum plays for hype-mad Los Angeles. Hmm…

Hasn’t fat boy been rehabbing since ’91? haha. Get on with it, dude!

Someone the other day made a great point in that if you swapped Bogut and Bynum then Bynum would be getting practically no pub. Championship? haha er…no.

okkay well people are sayin pau and odom are gonna have to play a new position?
but isnt pau really a four and odom used to be a 3?
pau and odom can still pass and well they have a bigger and better target now
who can and will dunk on anybody near him
and for those who dont know, bynum has been coached by kareem and he was showing signs of the knowledge kareem brought to him until bynum of course got injured
all odom needs to do is develop a beter shot and pau gasol can do his things as normal
kobe will get his!
and fisher/farmar duo will be great
and lakers are champs
if anyone cares to argue with me
go right ahead and say something lol

The Lakers next year are going to be huge. If they play Bynum, Gasol, Odom, Kobe, Farmar (I think Farmar passes Fisher on the depth chart this year), then they’ve got an average height and weight of 6’8″, 230. There are power forwards in this league who aren’t that big. They’re going to be really tough defensively, and they’re going to get a lot of rebounds. There may be spacing issues with Gasol and Bynum, but I think it will work, and I have a hard time picturing many teams competing with them. I think they’ll win it all, and I’m saying that despite the fact that I think Kobe is severely over-rated.

I think the Lakers would be dumb as hell to trade Odom at this point, not until they’ve had at least half a season seeing how Odom, Gasol, and Bynum work together.

I think it’s interesting to see teams going big after a few years of everyone going small. I hope Toronto will sometimes try O’Neal, Bargnani, and Bosh on the floor together. It didn’t used to be that there were that many bigs who were athletic enough or had sufficient range to make it work, but now it’s not uncommon to have big guys who are either lightning quick (Bosh) or perimeter shooters (Bargnani). It helps that O’Neal is very much a skill player himself.

and that’s why you dont draft high-schoolers because they are all fuckin raw as hell and no gets drafted for skill anymore it’s always about that fuckin word “potential” most of the time they don’t even fulfill their potential and every year it puts the same teams in the lottery.

don’t get me wrong Bynum’s potential is through the roof, his length is scary but seriously his skill set is below dwight howard’s, at least Dwight Howard does a hook shot once in a while. All Bynum does is dunk or putback dunks, at best I can see him being a slighty more offensive oriented Dalembeast
