**Chi_archie** · 06-12-10, 01:55 PM

guy has been a real trooper through this partial tear

**scratbandit** · 06-12-10, 02:30 PM

I smell a trade coming on...

**jjgold** · 06-12-10, 02:43 PM

i guarantee they wont trade him. upside is still too high at age 22. if he stays healthy, he's the difference between winning a title and not. he's that huge to have in the paint

**og4667** · 06-12-10, 03:17 PM

he had his knee drained so he should be able to play better. He doesn't really even need to score just get rebounds and be a presence in the paint.

**Mexes** · 06-12-10, 05:26 PM

2015 they will still say that he's talented...

they should trade him

**podunk** · 06-12-10, 05:38 PM

the lakers are done

- you could be right about that prediction.

no your right but I remember when Kobe/Bynum had their knees drained they played well the following game. I think it is just a temporary fix to a semi permanent problem and provides relief for short period of time. Keep in mind I am not a doctor and have never had my knee drained but just an observation.

He better play cuz without him big baby becomes a stud

If they can get Bosh in the sign and trade, they'll do it. Bynum's injury history will be the reason to make that trade, and his injury history might be the reason the Raptors don't do it. Even with the injuries, Bynum still might represent the best option for the Raptors as far as a sign and trade.

i still dont think you can stay away. i think youre a message board junkie

**starzstruck** · 06-12-10, 09:05 PM

he is still a pussy

**jjgold** · 06-12-10, 09:20 PM

I would never trade him, big guys hard to come by in nba with his talent

**UntilTheNDofTimE** · 06-12-10, 09:23 PM

Bynum needs to play 25+ minutes for them to win

**stacks on deck** · 06-12-10, 09:39 PM

rebounds and second chance points have been the difference in this series it seems.... him out would be huge

**Jak** · 06-12-10, 09:40 PM

It's nice to see him play but someone else needs from the lakers bench needs to step up to
