Don't put too much stock into this.
He would have to come ultra cheap and I still wouldn't count on it.
Man I'm fuc*ing tired of hearing "Spurs interested in..." and the FO doesn't do shi*.
Don't have any cap space so we have to fight for shitty long shots like Oden and Bynum...

This is kinda boring. Spurs and Heat are interested in everybody, who isnt goint to get fat paycheck
Rumors are spawned from the FO. Media, player agents creating these stories to remain relevant or evoke interest in their player. Unfortunately we support a franchise that people admire and so a great way to make a guy look good is to say 'Spurs are interested'.Quote:

If a rumor like this gets your hopes up, you're in for a looooong offseason.

i will be shocked if bynum actually gets a multiyear 10+ per year..Quote:

Truth is, if news breaks that the Spurs are interested in someone, they probably aren't. The FO is real secretive about things like that.

He might be a decent back-up big on the Toros tbh.Quote:

The current CBA apparently has a thing where you can add a "pre-existing injury" clause to a contract, and if you end up waiving the player because of that injury, the rest of the contract is non-guaranteed and you're off the hook.
Under a contract like that, Bynum could be worth a deal.
Whats up with the potato is he like the sheriff of this place, and is that smiling manu of 2003 poster like his lil deputy? http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vXwAcR5d8a...dY/s1600/1.gifQuote:

I would think other teams know this though, no? Maybe it's all there just to keep the fans from going crazy...oh wait..Quote:

It is a bit strange. Really tells you where the heads of some of these guys, are at. I know, easy for me to say...but still.Quote:

Quote:
Article II, Section 3. Allowable Amendments:
In their individual contract negotiations, a player and a Team may amend the provisions of a Uniform Player Contract, but only in the following respects:
[...]
(g) By agreeing upon provisions (to be set forth in Exhibit 3 to a Uniform Player Contract) limiting or eliminating the player's right to receive his Cash Compensation (in accordance with paragraphs 7(c), 16(a)(iii), and 16(b) of the Uniform Player Contract) when the player's disability or unfitness to play skilled basketball is caused by the reinjury of an injury sustained prior to, or by the aggravation of a condition that existed prior to, the execution of the Uniform Player Contract providing for such Cash Compensation.
It would hilarious if this is where he landed. Kind of like a FO "see what we did there"
Man, Andrew Bynum is retarded, he's been getting crazy paid and taking the year off!!! Now he wants a contract, but refuses to work out? Dude needs to go back to coming up with new hairstyles. I'd like to see him rock the high top fade from House Party, myself, learn that jailhouse rap that be like 'I'm talkin from the heart...the center....the sign on my ass says DO NOT ENTER"
At this point I still don't know how some are duped into these names and make threads go 20 pages on Spurs are close to or interested in! It will not happen.Quote:

The dude was out for a year for bowling and he's demanding 15M/yrs. No thank you.
The Spurs should take a chance on Bynum. If they're interested in Oden, why not Bynum? He could end up being a bargain.
I would love to have seen Bynum end his season with a well placed elbow smash to Shane Battier's chest during his flop fest, tbh.
He wasn't out only for bowling. Problem was bigger.
Team's work outs? He's not retarded. He knows his knees are done. At this point Oden could be healthier than him.
