Bynum just had a superstar year after dealing with injuries most of his career. Lopez just had his first injured year, before that, he was always healthy, carrying a poor Nets team, dealing with double teams, and still averaged around 20 points a game. Both of them are 24 years old and both have potential to be consistent All Stars.
With that said, Dwight is still the best center in the league and Shaq is crazy to say any center is better than Dwight right now. Dwight taking the superman name and moving from the Magics to the Lakers is probably pissing Shaq off.
I don't think anybody has said Brook is a bum, just that he aint worth no damn Max contract.
If you're not one of the top 5 players at your position AND you're coming off an injury, you don't deserve a max contract.

That was always one of the main differences between shaq and Kobe. Bean was always more mature
