Yeah LA should trade him. He would probably get injured again and I don't like it when he picks up silly fouls.
I certainly would look to trade him. But i dont see any buyers for him.
Seriously Bynum hasn't shown me ANYTHING, the kid is young, injury prone, and a bust as it seems. He doesn't know how to box-out, defend, or rebound and picks up silly fouls. His IQ is questionable at best.

No way. He's their only hope of holding off the Blazers.
I hope so too. So does everybody in Portland.
I hope we get those gots in OKC and Durant makes Oden and Outlaw his .
OKC is goin to playoffs next year!!!
lol... wernt you faker fans saying that Bynum had a chance to be the best big man in the NBA?
Now that Kobe ed up hes knees you guys don't want him anymore.. lol sad... atleast give him a year to fully heal and develop.
Where are the Laker fans saying to trade him? It's all the haters who are writing him off. A 21 year old who for stretches has averaged 26 and 14, yeah I think I'd pay him some dough for a few years to see what happens. If he sucks the next three years then don't pick up the option and let him walk but he could very likely turn into a solid center in the NBA.
Shooting guards are all over and have never been the dominant position in the NBA aside from MJ. Centers have always been the dominate position in the NBA and right now there aren't a whole lot of young up and coming centers so you have to keep one if you get one that shows upside, so I don't blame the Lakers for giving him a contract on potential especially from what he's done before going down the last two seasons.
portland will get to watch us get rings
Who wants to trade Bynum? He's only 21. I will be the first to say he had a very underwhelming season. He still has a lot of upside though.
I agree, though that contract is very much unwarranted.
Yo Shaq, whaz'up! You need to finish your career with the Spurs and you and Timmy can win a coupld more rings!
No one wants an oversized ego, literally and figuratively.
Howard, Jefferson, and we'll see on Oden and Griffin. The rest you mentioned, not so much. Even if you want to say Kobe lead a team to a le he still had great post play in Gasol. Centers dominate the league and Bynum has shown great potential for his age, I'm glad he was resigned. Do I wish he was resigned starting at about 8 million rather then 12 and a half, yes, but it is what it is. If anyone can afford it it's the Lakers.
You're correct, Bynum is overpaid and has no future. Marc ing Gasol is a future stud, I guess you guys can't claim collusion anymore then, now admitting Marc Gasol is legit.
I'm not wrong. Marc Gasol or whoever else you threw out there has never scored 42 points in an NBA game or averaged 26 points and 14 rebounds over a 7 game stretch at the age of 21. Comparing stats over the course of a season are completely pointless in this discussion cause every time Bynum has started to get going he has had a fluke injury. Let him get a full year under his belt and then compare stats. The guy was playing fresh off a grade three MCL tear with a huge brace, he was clearly nowhere near 100% in the playoffs.
The only reason why he didnt become an issue is because of Phil Jackson. With Phil out, Kobe-Shaq type drama will start all over again, especially since Bynum knows that other teams are willing to pay him more money and give him more looks than the kind he's getting now.
Trade that primaddona.
Bynum on any team besides the lakers, there wouldn't even be treads about him.
