Report: Andrew Bynum wants more than the minimum, market waning

[gts]

If he wants more than the minimum, Miami wont bother.

If he want's more than the minimum Miami can't even think about signing him

If he wants more than the minimum, Miami wont bother.

But if he can't get more than the minimum, he's going to go to the team that can guarantee him another ring. He would start with Miami on their playoff run, not necessarily the case in Indiana.

I assume the Pacers only want him to prevent Miami from getting him. They need to pass on him though, the Pacers have great chemistry--shit will only get ruined if they added a guy like Bynum. Let him go ruin another team's locker room.

So explain to me why Miami can't pay him more than the minimum? What's 10 million more to a billionaire if it means another championship?

miami is over the salary cap

i doubt it. dude is slow as a molasses now, there isnt a team he fits worse on in the league than miami. he just isnt fast enough to fit their defensive philosophy. and hes not talented enough for it to be worth bending over backwards to accommodate him

Knicks sources say "he's not even considering minimum."

Bynum is healthy and can still play and still play good. He wasn't used correctly on the Cavs with the ball hogging gaurds. He did have some games where he did horrible but so has a lot of players in the league. He was also just getting himself back into basketball shape. The only thing I would be worried about is his attitude. He is worth more then the min and is still better then most of the centers in the league if givin a chance.

Where the **** does this guy get his ego? He has done jack shit, he should be kissing ass to even get the minimum.

[All Net]

Not smart on his part.

It is smart. Big Men get overpaid and he's basically been getting paid to do nothing for a few years now.

[Ratnik]

Bynum to Euroleague. Book it

[Ed Wachter]

Tarzan Coooper got uppity just like this, demanding a pay raise to $12 a week.

Your gimmick is stupid and unfunny. You spent time on this?

He's a scrub now. Can only play 20 minutes a game and his numbers are terrible. 41.9% fg for a center who apparently has the best post moves/footwork in the league?

I don't understand why this is even a story -- AndrewBynum is a 26 year old who knows this may be his last payday in his chosen profession; of course he's looking for the biggest payday.
