Harlem - how have you been brother?
This isn't a troll thread, it's a legit question..
Ignoring his ty game tonight, Bynum is obviously a legit "prospect" that has shown flashes of dominance..he has one of the best post games in the NBA, he has rare size, pretty good defensive player, and he's still very young..
Obviously, he has injury issues, and has also been accused of having motivational issues, as well..
What's Bynum's value?..it should also be noted that he's getting paid around 45 million $ for the next 3 seasons, which he certainly hasn't earned, at this point..

He has value. As a second option with consistent touches he can put up 18/10.
He also has a team option his 3rd year..
i beleive the last year is not guaranteed salary.
The looming problem I see with Bynum is that if the Lakeshow doesn't pull it off this season, he's going to ask for a bigger role. He's already ing about touches. I don't think that's going to fly with Kome. Is he going to be on the block?
Mayo/Thabeet/Vasquez
Anybody remember Benoit Benjamin or Joe Barry Carroll? You probably won't remember Andrew Bynum is 15 or 20 years either.
That contract, injury prone, and a nagging sense he may never push to another level: Stay Away.
compared to ther deals in the league, its worth it man
lol eddy curry
Find the odd man out:
Roy Hibbert (IND): 27.5 MPG, 12.9 PPG, 7.8 RPG, $1.6 million
Andrew Bynum (LAL): 25.5 MPG, 11.4 PPG, 7.4 RPG, $13.8 million
Javale McGee (WAS): 26.9 MPG, 9.2 PPG, 7.6 RPG, $1.6 million
DeJuan Blair (SAS): 22.3 MPG, 8.6 PPG, 7.5 RPG, $1 million
Kwame Brown (CHA): 22.7 MPG, 7 PPG, 6.7 RPG, $1.2 million

I remember Benoit Benjamin. He had a disproportionately tiny head.
No way in is he worth $15M/year. I think his legit dollar value would be somewhere between 7-8 mil based on what he's shown thus far (both skill, and being injury prone)
all future HOF imo.
lemme add another one:
jj hickson 26mpg 12.4PPG 7.7RBD $1.52 mill
Another HOF.. league full of dem.
Bynum has same trade value as Oden or Yao at this point
To be fair, three of those guys are still on their rookie contracts. You could have compared his numbers to guys like Tyson Chandler, Andris Biedrins, Mehmet Okur, and Nene. Yes he's very much overpaid for his production. But it wouldn't be so crazy if you didn't include rookie contract salary players.
Do you think that this Caracter guy wouldnt have equal numbers in 26 MPG ?
Bynum is important because he's one of the main cast that have been featured with the vaunted height and length that the Lakers have been using to the league in the past seasons.
But he's overvalued.
I'm not sure, but my guess is no. Caracter would still be playing fourth fiddle at best to Kobe, Pau, Odom, perhaps even more so than Bynum. Bynum is still putting up 16 and 10 when you adjust his minutes to 36 per game. And he's shooting 55% from the field. He had a horrible game last night. And I'm not saying he's all that great. But consider the team he's playing for, the players he's playing with, and the minutes he gets, his production is more than adequate. Is it worth his salary? no. But he's still producing at an adequate rate.
Caracter is slow, foul-prone and undersized. Why are you guys even talking about him? He's not going to do . He's a dumber version of Glen Davis.
Who I want to develop is Ebanks, because Artest probably will have a major meltdown sooner or later.
You're right. However, what that shows is that Bynum-level production can be had in this league through relatively inexpensive young players, rather than spending big. On top of the mediocre per-game numbers, Bynum is injury prone as well, making that $15 MM per year deal look even more ridiculous.
You can't compare Bynum's salary to rookie scaled salaries.
Being injury prone is one thing. But when you compare his actual production with players still on their rookie salaries, it's a failed attempt at making a point that has anything to do with him being worth his salary compared to others.
You're missing the point. What I'm saying is that I don't see the Spurs paying Blair $12 MM, or the Wizards paying McGee $10 MM. None of these other players will sniff a Bynum-type payday, and that was LA's mistake - outbidding themselves.
