You know I've tried and dear god have I tried, that is, to come to try to understand Mr. Bynum's mindset, and I gotta tell you, it is unequivacally the most erratic and unimaginable mindset I have ever attempted to entertain. Can you believe this Kid? I can't! I mean the talent is there and it seems of late that his health is no longer an issue. I mean whatta joke if the kid doesn't get it together.......it would be rather sad I'll say!

I tried to check the website to learn more but all they had there was the same comment and no more.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Just wondering if this was the Media trying to drum up some news?

Honestly I think he just wanted to be the man for a change. He got his rings in LA but now he wants to have his own team. He will get his chance in Philly.

I agree. Bynum needed a change of scenery (not far from where he grew up). If he stays healthy, he will be a force in Philly.

I can already tell you that it won't work out. Collins is a no-nonsense kinda coach. Expects high professionalism, which Bynum can't even spell.

It is one and done, or will end up in a coach-firing.

Bynum would have been dealt for Love. That is the ONLY deal that makes any sense if that were to happen between the two teams.

Bynum for Love? Hell to the NO!

If Bynum were on the Olympic team (and no Howard); he would start. Basically, Love is a PF and Drew is a 'true' Center. For the Lakers & Mitch an equal value trade would have been (Love & Rubio) for (AB & Blake) or Pau for KL. ...Philly would not take Love straight up over Bynum. No disrespect intended to Kevin but "No Way". The only player worthy of trading Bynum for is Dwight; and that is what LA did!

Wow you're an idiot

The Lakers traded talent for an established superstar. I just don't see any truth to this statement, because it clearly isn't an article, considering what Mitch just pulled off. This guy is a genius and for the life of me I can't understand why this statement would've even be printed.
