magicbalala245 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 This is why we didn't give in to Ariza. Due to Ariza & Bynum having the same agent I had a feeling Lakers did not want screwed over again by the same agent by over paying another player with the same agent.

Legacy Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 And everyone said that Biedrins is overpaid. I don't know what the Lakers were thinking when they gave Bynum that contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bynum is the better players let's get that straight. All Biedrins can only get you 10 & 10. Bynum at least has potential to average 20 & 10 some point down his career.

The Artesticle Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Last year is a team option. If Drew can play the way he did before going down with an injury, then yeah, sure. But he hasn't proven anything yet. He's getting a HUGE raise next year, so I'm expecting big things. The potential is there, the results aren't. He always plays well in spurts, and whenever he finally gets going, he gets injured. Hopefully that's different next year, because he has a lot to prove. Either way though, bigs are always getting overpaid. So I'm not too surprised. Hopefully he can live up to the expectations next year, especially if LO doesn't come back.

Bynum at least has potential to average 20 & 10 some point down his career.Biedrins averaged 12 points in an offense where no plays were ran for him besides one or two pick n rolls a game. Biedrins is better at everything than Bynum besides shooting. He has a few offensive moves in the low post, but he wouldn't have had those either if it weren't for Kareem.

Bynum when playing like when he was healthy was averaging 18 & 10 with 3 blocks a game. It don't get better then that with a team with Kobe, Pau, LO. Were now going to see how will this work sicne Artest is in LA now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans is one of the most underrated players in the league. If he was a Laker we'd be calling him the next big thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't do it consistently and he's lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicbalala245 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) Listen Bynum only did that for 2 weeks cause he got injured after. And being lazy is an understatement. You should see this guy summer workouts then. Also he will be training with Dwight this summer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Fv83m3-Cs4 Edited July 21, 2009 by magicbalala245 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 What he does in the offseason doesn't matter. He didn't play 2 weeks last year and then get injured. He played like the first 2 months and only played well for 2 weeks before getting injured. I'd take a player like Beans, who has shown he can play at a high level night in and night out, on a consistent basis over Drew. Any day of the week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Universe Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 That's what I heard last season.Word. Until someone is doing something consistant like Biddy is doing, you can't say he's better. More potential? Maybe, but who says Biddy isn't going to just tear it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multi-Billionaire Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I would as long as there is no Kobe or Odom near him. Or I make sure he wears a super thick knee brace. After all there is so little talent among big men. Sure you wish the contract was not that big, but I'd live with that if I was an owner. It's a smart money and they were right for two weeks before something they can't control happened. And again make sure Kobe or Odom stays as far away from his knee.
