08:11 AM ET 05.01 | An even better Andrew Bynum? Bynum told me Monday he has not even discussed his offseason plans to have the innovative German procedure -- the one that [Kobe Bryant] has raved publicly about helping him last offseason -- on his troublesome knees. "It hasn't come up," Bynum said. Bynum laughed as he said it -- but as exciting as the idea of an even stronger, quicker Bynum is, he has seriously kept himself from delving too deep into that project. ... Bynum said he isn't certain he will go through with the procedure -- which involves drawing blood, then altering it on a molecular level into a protein-rich serum that greatly improves joint function upon injection. It looks awfully promising, though.

Will he hold up 5 years from now, if he didn't have the procedure??

Oden and Bynum mentioned together? Now if it were injured Dwight Howard I'd understand.

Oden no longer has knees. He is going for the Lt Dan "Magic Legs".

Funny that the title says he is considering it but the article says he hasn't thought about it.

Either way......not goodI am not sayjng he shouldnt try and get it done.....just that we dont know if this procedure is a quick fix think for a guy looking to have a cpuple more years.....or is it something that can 'fix' whatever problem he has

Pretty sure Bynum stated it wasn't coming back/flaring up (knees)..so I'd wait.
