Cavs Join Mavs in Bynum Bid

[OJ SIMPSON 2.0]

LOL, the entire NBA better hope the Mavs sign him in a multi year deal because if they don't and cavs sign him for 1 year, Bynum will be wearing a Lakers jersey come 2014.

[D-Rose]

Yes but he's getting paid 15 a year if I'm not mistaken. Only 8 million counts against the cap. It's like a pseudo luxury tax.

Ah okay. Damn Morey's tricks confusing everyone.

Why would that matter to the entire NBA? The guy's knees are degenerating before our eyes.

Why would Bynum take a 3 year 24 mill deal when he can take a one year 10-13 mill deal and cash in on a bigger deal 12 months from now?

Makes no sense. Bynum has no reason to accept a deal 40% of his value worth when healthy no matter how many years are attached to the contract.

Cavs in the driver seat here as long as a team who has room doesn't throw max cash his way for more than one year guaranteed.

Yes they would.
He knows how to deal with Kobe.

I haven't looked into the details, but I think the Cavs can offer Bynum more money, but if they plan to offer him top dollar I don't like that. I'd rather take a chance on Oden for a lower dollar amount. I hope they don't offer top dollar to him. He literally has degenerative knees.

I dont know about Oden. He hasnt played in over 3 years. Thats a very long time. Bynum missed last season, but he is only a year out of playing and he has proven himself much more than Oden. I think you are really gambling more if you go with Oden, even at a lower cost.

I wouldn't mind it if it's for one year personally. But the chance the Sixers took before last year I don't agree with. They traded major assets of their team banking on it to work out and now because of they're basically totally rebuilding now.

They took a risk. But it was worth the risk imo. They were going no where with Iggy leading them. Also, Bynum just came of a great year, and played the entire year. With the lineup they had prior to the Bynum deal, they were stuck in mediocrity, which is the worst place to be in the NBA.

In reality they were never contenders and gambling on Bynum was a must.

For the simple sake of work ethic and lockerroom chemistry I wish the Cavs would attempt to chase Oden rather than Bynum. At this point I honestly think both have equally questionable knees yet Oden's mental upside and determination seems so much greater. According to Kareem Bynum's focus was on and off - and unpredictably so. Oden on the other hand seems both humble and hopeful/determined by comparison.

mental upside? Oden is an alcoholic. Oden is just as non dedicated as Bynum. I don't want either broken piece of garbage on the cavs roster.

So delusional and detached from reality.

Oden comes way cheaper, might even sign for veteran minimum or close for 1 year.

Bynum refues to work out and he's gonna ask for a multi-year contract.

I'd take the risk of signing Oden any day over Bynum.

sure the risk with oden is lower but i don't see either as a long term solution. I see them both as rentals.
