Okay, you might be right - i'm not gonna argue about whether Bynum is in shape or not. If his knees are an issue and the Heat take a chance on him and he turns it around then I think something needs to be said about whether he was really motivated to play for the Cavs.
His knees have been an issue since he was 12

can you explain the bolded please? :dwillhuh:

5 seed in the East? :russ:

why did you put " around all star like it isnt true?

fukk outta here :pacspit:

That was a typo, i meant they traded deng, the second best trade asset for Bynum...only to wave Bynum

5 seed in the East? There number 6 right now...Miami, Indiana, Atlanta, and Washington will be better than them this year and in the future...

Rose is a star player...:dwillhuh: He has played all of what...10 games in 2 years...:dwillhuh: he a star player...:dwillhuh:...he was shooting below 40% when he did play this year....he a star player:dwillhuh:...he coming off back to back season ending injuries and he a star player :dwillhuh:

Could have sworn at the start of the season the bulls was supposed to be a title contender...could have sworn miami was supposed to be shook...could have sworn that D Rose was supposed to put them over the top:dwillhuh:

Now Rose is out...they trading Deng for a player that they wave...basically trading away Deng for draft picks...instead of trading Deng for an asset that might help them win this year or next year...or let me guess the Bulls are going to get that really high draft pick to go along with Rose :dwillhuh:....cause there are literally about 15 teams tanking right now but the bulls are going to be the time to get that rookie that makes a difference the second they draft him:dwillhuh:...gonna surround a point guard who can't even stay on the floor with some 1st round draft picks:dwillhuh:

I can see the Heat picking up Bynum for one reason only - a big body to put on Roy Hibbert in the ECF.

i'm saying - as far him not looking "in shape" there's a big difference in how he's looked in the past and the 0-11 Bynum that was playing for the Cavs. If he's knees are a problem where he looks sluggish, slow, and he's down to 41% shooting then that's different.

Two years in a row Rose goes down and the Bulls are fukked because they have no one to carry the load. They built the team to compliment Rose and have gotten no where with it.

This is a long term move here nothing wrong with it. Rose is still young and they have a shyt load of assets to make a win now move or go long term. They are in great shape bruh. Big market team with a star player, soon to have cap space and picks.

the heat ain't gonna win shyt cuz of oden or bynum. we all know its cuz of :lolbron:

oden played less games than drose this season, and bynum isn't gonna fare much better.
Of course its about bron. But we dont even have big bodies to give fouls. One good game offensively in the offs can change everything. I aint asking for these nikkas to be allstars :beli:

I know y'all don't watch Cavs games (I've seen everyone this season) but if you think Bynum wouldn't be a factor for the Heat you're crazy. In some games he looked like regular Bynum putting up 20/10 or 19/7 averaging 20 mins a game. In games he didn't care for or just wasn't on he would still give you 8/5 10/6. All of that was w/o a player on the Cavs roster that could send an entry pass to the post but he wants more mins; part of the fallout &
not getting the ball enough was another part. If his head is in the game, Heat will wash anybody.Dude would eat and just look at the #'s he had this year against the true bigs he faced this year. He doesn't even need to do all that with the Heat but denying his ability is nuts because you haven't seen him play & i hate the Heat more than anyone. Just my take

:heh::heh: Everybody is an analyst watching sports center and NBA gametime, if they even invest so much time.

Props for someone who has actually seen Bynum play. The Heat picking up Bynum woudl be huge, cause realistically their only challenge of as right now is Indiana. Who pushes Indiana over the top, Roy Hibbert. With 2 big bodies in Oden and Bynum, it tips the scale in the Heats favor as they can contain Hibbert, while :troll: can get to work.

Okay, you might be right - i'm not gonna argue about whether Bynum is in shape or not.

Because you don't watch and it's not an argument. I am telling you, he is in game shape.

If his knees are an issue and the Heat take a chance on him and he turns it around then I think something needs to be said about whether he was really motivated to play for the Cavs.

He clearly was motivated in the beginning. But once you get on the court he has to deal with a bunch of sharp pains in his knees, his lack of being able to move as fast as he could, and facing the fact that you aren't the all star player you once were, it can be very depressing and demotivating for that athlete. He can go play for the Heat or clippers but they will be getting the same Bynum that the Cavs got. The Cavs have one of the best medical rehabilitation clinics in the country in the Cleveland Clinic. He is as healthy as he is gonna get.
