BS, the media made this guy out to be the next great center. At least he played/won a couple rings with theLakers.

Yeah, he’s a weirdo. A real weirdo. It’s obvious. Got it?

“Not like this, though.”

yes, like this. You must not have watched or paid any attention to the Lakers since 2005.

So now were going to take an opportunity to make fun of his afro? That so soft, dude. I thought it was only the girls who were concered about the way somebody else’s hair looks on television. They have another word for that, but I don’t want to insult any other groups of people out there, but I think you know which word I’m thinking of at this moment.

My career mode in NBA2k13 put me on the sixers…

they won the championship…

Philly is in a bad luck sports cycle…lots of really big injuries to the best players on each team…

@monkeyhate, what indications are there that Bynum wants out of Philly?

By: tfoz5150

tfoz5150 — Sun, 25 Nov 2012 13:17:45 +0000

Well the deal is even management is getting fed up with this guy, which supposedly is why after the whole bowling fiasco they made him come out and address the media instead of a team spokesperson.

If I remember right, it was so that he could go watch the world cup in Africa that year.

Not really. Iggy has wanted out of Philly for years, so trading him for a damaged center who also wants out of Philly is basically the same as keeping Iggy then letting him skate.

Its a risk the sixers needed to take. If the Sixers kept trying to build around Iggy they were going to be another 7 and 8 seed in the playoffs, and stay that way for a long time. They would never be able to get a top pick in the draft and can’t rebuild their team through the draft, and then would have to rely on free agency. Problem with free agency is no free agent wants to come to Philadelphia because their are no perks or attractions (such as being able to play with a superstar or be a part of a championship contender).

At least with Bynum the Sixers at least have/had the possible oppurtunity of retaining the second best center in the league and making the Sixers relevant in Philadelphia again. They could be the second or third best team in the East with the development of Holiday and Turner, and bringing in a bunch of perimeter shooters to space the floor for Bynum to work with. It also helped the possibility of Collin’s protect the paint scheme very effective with guys like Thad Young, Lavoy Allen, Spencer hawes, and EVEN KWAME BROWN helping out Bynum in the paint.

The Sixers knew what they were doing. They brought in the right personel to set up a potentially succesful season. If Bynum doesn’t play at least every Sixers fan can say that they at least went down swinging.

Iggy’s contract had to go but you replaced it with an equally large contract only to get NOTHING to show for it? I’m really not trying to troll you but you are rationalizing losing your best player only to get another player that hasn’t played yet and isn’t going to in the foreseeable future.

EVERYONE will give him a big contract regardless of his glass knees. He’s 7′ tall, see also: Robin Lopez contract.

Bynum has only played in over 60% of games in a season once in the past 5 years.

Yes, his knees have really always been THIS bad.

The onus is on the team’s doctors and whether the GM/Owner is willing to listen.

Teams typically don’t falsify medical records and provide bad info. Even with all the info provided, teams still individually perform their own exams and take their own images and have their own doctors provide an opinion.

A younger version of Amare Stoudemire. Get ready for micro-fracture surgery, the death knell of a successful NBA career, just ask Brandon Roy & Greg Oden.

I’d rather watch Bynum in street clothes than Iggy

By: tfoz5150

tfoz5150 — Sun, 25 Nov 2012 04:50:10 +0000

Not like this, though. This story keeps getting worse and worse. I think he has a degenerative condition or something. Theres no way they would have made that deal if they knew he wouldnt be able to play this year. They gave up a lot for this guy, and I’m mot evn talking about Iguodala.

@tfoz Philly knew he was injury prone when they made the trade. It’s not like Bynum was an iron man that the Lakers were concealing an injury on. Everyone in the league and their mother knew that Bynum has bad knees.

Yes but it wasn’t a Howard for Bynum swap between the SIxers and Lakers.

Glad we shipped his a$$ out for D. Howard

He has the knees of a 60 year old man. He will not be playing past the age of 30.

Didn’t sixers lose draft picks too??

As long as he can still bowl that’s all that counts.

*false narrative

kvanhorn87 — Sun, 25 Nov 2012 03:39:55 +0000

Now I will call you on it. Philly fans are still not outraged and not piling on. Please don’t create a gals narrative. We are disappointed but still respect the fact that we took a shot for once on a star player and still happy that Iggy is gone.
