According to Howard Eskin of Fox 29 News in Philadelphia, the Rockets are set to offer Andrew Bynum a multi-year contract this summer in free agency. Bynum, the 25 year old center with the Philadelphia 76ers, has missed the entire season after being traded from Los Angeles in the Dwight Howard deal.

Here's what Eskin had to say:

I'm being told by sources the #houstonrockets are ready to offer #sixers C Andrew Bynum a contract after season

Healthy Bynum/Dwight/Harden = game over 4 NBA.

Healthy is the tough part tho.

would be hilarious if philly makes that big trade, bynum plays no minutes for them and leaves in FA lol

[Kai]

Dwight/Bynum/Oden/Asik C rotation, get 'er done Morey!

[baseline bum]

Wouldn't be as hilarious as philly makes the big trade, bynum plays no minutes for them, gets re-signed to a big deal, and then plays no minutes for them tbh.

Asik is a legit, quality C that still has some upside, there is no need of an upgrade, especially for a question mark like Bynum..

Houston needs an offensive, star PF to complete their team..

Is Josh Smith a good fit for them for the max ? Or -gulp- Boris Diaw for 4 years 30 mil a nice proposition & complimentary players ? Don't think they would target Splitter, but who knows ......

[Mal]

Good, less money, less teams intrested in Splitter

[rayjayjohnson]

:lol spurfan overrated splitter again

[djohn2oo8]

Sorry, don't believe it. One thing Morey has done is not handcuff the team with dumb contracts for injury prone players. He'd do it for Dwight but not Bynum.

:lol spurfan overrated splitter again

In this league, 7 footer, who can catch the ball when is passed to him, and who can play some defense. That`s material for 40mln/4 yrs at least. Denver is paying more to scrub named JaVale

[rayjayjohnson]

You seem mad. Why are you mad?

[TDMVPDPOY]

then why dont they give eddie curry a deal? short term low risk move? put him at PF or C, have asik play either position

[Mal]

You seem mad. Why are you mad?

Me ? Mad ? No.

[Captivus]

Risky move for Houston, they are doing things the right way now...but Bynum...?? I dont know...
The Rockets are one of my favorite teams to watch now, dont risk money on Bynum...

[OKC]

What noone has mentioned yet is the fact that Howard and Bynum are 2 of the top 3 juvenile retards in the league. Neither guy has enough fire in their gut or brains in their head to make any team a championship team.

[Suspect]

Houston loves injury prone players

Morey has stated multiple times that he will not be picky when it comes to position while looking for a second star. Franchise players are hard enough to acquire regardless of what position they play. He top priority is to find superstar #2, then he'll tweak the rest of the roster accordingly.

[Sportcamper]

Baby Drew to Houston? I am not seeing it…The question you have to ask is how would that benefit the Lakers?

Wouldn't be as hilarious as philly makes the big trade, bynum plays no minutes for them, gets re-signed to a big deal, and then plays no minutes for them tbh.

:lmao Bynum

[djohn2oo8]

If the Rockets wanted Bynum, they would have traded for him in the Dwight deal.

[SpursIndonesia]

If the Rockets wanted Bynum, they would have traded for him in the Dwight deal.

Yeah, i guess you're right. Perhaps this time around, Morey wants to buy low, getting the best value out of him (of others got scared with his current injury status). Omer Asik is already a good investment & asset at the C position, the new CBA requires you to be smart in balancing the squad with talents at all spots, so there it is.

it's gonna be a big gamble for a team based in a small market imho. a healthy bynum was a top 3 center in the league but im not sure if he can ever come back to 100% what he was, and if he turns out to be another yao, rockets would suffer a big financial loss w/o any donation from the chinks
