Drhouse is mad cause i was right.

I guess some teams tank seasons to get their power forward and others make B.S. trades.

oh, yes. 21.4% gets you number 1 every time.

tank, for a lottery that doesn't assure that they even get the #1 pick, and when their star C is injured?

[IronMexican]

I am losing my mind waiting for the results.

[xtremesteven33]

I get a bad feeling for Laker fans on this one....

I heard atleast 6 weeks

The fact that we haven't heard the results by now means they are getting 2nd and 3rd opinions, which probably means bad news.

I'm bracing myself for the worst, Bynum is likely out for the season.

Time to trade for Shaq. Good bye Odom/Radmanovich, o DIESEL!!!

I hope the cartilage has completely ruptured free from all muscle and bone

[DPG21920]

I do not know if it means bad news necessarily, it just means they are discussing things.

Trust me, it's probably bad news. I know the Laker organization, and they don't sit on injury reports for this long unless it's something bad.

Unsubstantiated rumor going around is a slight tear requiring 8-12 weeks of rehab. In other words, Bynum is done for the season at his healing rate.

There goes the '09 championship.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I hope they bring him back for round one of the playoffs and then he livingston's his knee.

You're really not funny. Seriously.

Stop being emo and wait for the official results before you become a Cav fan.

[xtremesteven33]

This sucks for the Lakers.

[DPG21920]

That would suck. He was beasting, but hopefully nothing to serious.

Arizona Bay.

Thanks bro.

I was willing to give Bynum the benefit of the doubt before but the truth is he'll likely be injury prone his whole career. It would be wise for the Lakers NOT to base their championship hopes for the next few years solely on him.

All they really need is a strong defensive center, they don't necessarily need Andrew's scoring abilities.

i think bynum could have played in last year's later round playoffs if needed. phil jackson just didn't want to mess up the chemistry lakers had. he has enough time to get back if he doesn't have surgery. playoffs start mid april which gives him 2 1/2 months to recover. more than enough if it's just a severe strain. ginobili had surgery mid august and came back at the end of november, which is about 2 1/2 months too.

[xtremesteven33]

The curse of Shaq Fu continues.....

[Cant_Be_Faded]

You could always trade Trevor Ariza for Tyson Chandler. Or Sasha Vujacic for Dwight Howard. No way the powers that be let a lakers dynasty in waiting get their chances dashed. They'll let you cheat again. Mark my words.

[DPG21920]

Well, there have been guys that have had micro fracture surgery that have come back full bore, so just because Bynum is hurt (we do not even know the extent) does not mean he can not regain his form.

[024]

yahoo shows bynum out 8-12 weeks. he will be back for the playoffs.

[Allanon]

Tough break for the Lakers and Bynum. This injury doesn't look to be as bad as the last one so let's hoping he actually makes it closer to 8 weeks rather than 12.
