I Would Be Pissed If I Were Bynum

[SilkkTheShocker]

Dude got traded to a team that is going nowhere. Only reason they made the 2nd round is because of injury. Yea, he is getting paid, but I wouldn't want to live in Philly. At least he is closer to where he grew up. Would have much rather seen him in Cleveland or Houston.

[Sarcastic]

They have banks in Philly. He's fine.

[wang4three]

The Sixers look pretty good if you ask me. They may be this year's Pacers.

[Mr. I'm So Rad]

As long as he has his mom, his money, his cars and his computers he's fine.

[Levity]

As long as he has his mom, his money, his cars and his computers he's fine.

Add a few handicap parking spaces, and hes in heaven

[kennethgriffin]

maybe he shouldnt have sat on the bench and refused to listen to mike brown all year during time outs

[kurt_rambis]

i'm sorta rooting for the sixers. the nba is better when philly is competitive....and on paper they seem like a decent squad

[SilkkTheShocker]

Pacers still more talented imo. This team's ceiling is a 2nd round team at best. Than again, if Bynum is just about the money, I guess it doesn't really matter.

[Dictator]

Bynum doesn't give a chit. He has 2 rings already. All he has to do is statpad and get richer now.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Im not saying he is a saint. If im Kupchak, I do that trade 12 times out of 10. Dwight fits the Lakers way better. Just would have rather seen him go to an exciting team that could contend one day. Not some turd treadmill team.

[d.bball.guy]

I want him to be successful. I'm probably gonna jump on the Sixers bandwagon because of Bynum.

[Eat Like A Bosh]

He'll be fine. He's still getting paid, he still has his cars and everything, plus he already has 2 rings.

i love how everyone likes to shit on the city of philly. have you ever been there? and really cleveland and houston and where exactly are those teams going?

[SpecialQue]

Oh shut the fvck up. It's not like he was traded to a disaster of a team that's never made the playoffs.

[knickswin]

he's from southern jersey (princeton-plainsboro), so philly might actually be somewhat desirable for him because it'll be close to home.

[RRR3]

I doubt Bynum would care if he got traded to the Bobcatsanyways.

[LebronsHeadband]

I like how OP said Cleveland or Houston like they even made the playoffs last year. I guess putting Bynum in Cleveland or Houston would make them better teams, but putting him in Philly still leaves Philly going nowhere.

[ihoopallday]

As long as Doug Collins lets him shoot at least 2-3 three pointers a game, he'll be fine.

Cleveland has a superstar caliber player in Irving. And Houston has more talent imo than Philly. Philly is at best a 4/5 seed.

[amfirst]

Why r u hating on philly. If the Cavs or Houston really wanted him they should have traded for him instead of running around the bushes.

If Bynum played harder he would have never been traded. He should be pissed at himself.

[Godzuki]

he should be happy since Collins will force feed him inside, and he'll be dominating the touches most games i'd think, on top of him getting respect which he wasn't in LA, nor the touches. a team without a lot of other stars is perfect for him, only downside is its philly. pretty shitty place to live imo...

lakers will regret trading him after next season i bet...he's going to blow up.

[UtahJazzFan88]

Bynum grew up in a NJ area which is very close to Philly area, guy is a #1 option on a 3-5 seed in the East, and is due for a fat contract, why be pissed?

[Jailblazers7]

Bynum is probably happy that he is going to a team with a bunch of unselfish young guys in the city near his hometown. I'm sure its cool playing with Kobe in LA but I'm sure Bynum was frustrated at time by Kobe's shot selection and leadership style.

[Jailblazers7]

And have some of you guys even been to Philly? I don't get why people think its such a shitty place to live.

[swi7ch]

Swimming in millions? Nah.

[Batz]

What?

Jrue Holiday - Solid young point guard

Evan Turner - He's just getting started

Doug Collins - I can't think of a better coach for Bynum. Maybe Kevin McHale?

Philly - I heard he now plays just an hour away from where he grew up? A fantastic city with great fan-base.

Money - He's loaded for a lifetime now


Glad Bynum ended up in Philly as opposed to Cleveland, Houston or Magic. I'm gonna be watching alot of 76ers games this year!

[DaSeba5]

He only cares about getting paid. He's already won rings.

[knickswin]

And have some of you guys even been to Philly? I don't get why people think its such a shitty place to live.

lol, I think Philly sucks, at least compared to LA. kind of a dinky city tbh.

but there are some nice areas, it's not too far from new york, and it's very close to princeton-plainsboro. and sesame place.

[DTreats]

He only cares about getting paid. He's already won rings.
He just has two "Bosh rings", totally meaningless since he played such a minor role in his team winning, similar to Chris Bosh this year.

[JellyBean]

If I was Bynum, Andrew that is, I would take advantage of this moment. Folks are saying that he can become a great player. Well now is his chance. He can't blame Kobe anymore. This is your moment, AndrewBynum.

Bynum will put up monster numbers this season.

[YAWN]

But, yeah I expect Bynum to beast in Philly. He'll be happy. 22/12/2 , ASG starting center, challenge for All NBA 1st team, and $$$.

The second frame of that picture cracks me up.

Thats were shooting 3's as a center gets you to :lol

Only on ISH do rings get discounted simply because a player isn't the most talented player on his team. I've never heard a single player say "oh we'll I was only the 3rd best player on my team so I don't want these rings"

Why would he? He was getting his Zen moment...and usually rolled his eyes to whatever in almost every games

[imnew09]

He didn't mind about Cleveland, what makes you think he will get pissed off with Sixers?

[longtime lurker]

Lakers chose Kobe over another big man again :kobe:

Well to be fair Bynum was pretty much a non factor for two of those rings. :confusedshrug:

[madmax17]

he's from southern jersey (princeton-plainsboro), so philly might actually be somewhat desirable for him because it'll be close to home.Is that the main reason the Sixers took a gamble with him? Cause Lebron was closer to home in Cleveland. Just saying :D

[And 1]

Most, if not all NBA players don't care what 'option' they are on their ring-winning team. A ring is a ring, and Bynum's got 2. :pimp:

[IGOTGAME]

If you have watched his career then you know he always wanted this.

[TMacMagic]

Thats were shooting 3's as a center gets you to :lol

He was feeling like Dirk fo a minute. :yaohappy:

[PHILA]

If I was Bynum, Andrew that is, I would take advantage of this moment. Folks are saying that he can become a great player. Well now is his chance.

Longterm commitment or not, we must remember that two of the Sixers past dominant centers Wilt & Big Mo didn't stay that long either, only 3-4 years. But they were dominant in that stretch. If Bynum is the league MVP & leads the team to a championship, he will forever be an immortal. :bowdown:

[wang4three]

Princeton-Plainsboro is not Southern New Jersey. It's Central.

[crisoner]

Bynum got two titles with the Lakers and now he will be the main guy on a legendary Philly franchise. Why feel bad for him?

[Kappy]

http://i45.tinypic.com/28086cx.jpg

[midatlantic09]

Seems like a pretty sweet deal for Bynum because of the following:

-he's certain to get max money from Philly
-Philly is about 1-1.5 hrs away from his hometown and he'll get to see family more often.
-he'll be the star player for the first time in his NBA career.
-cost of living in the Philly area is much lower than LA ($16 mil in Philly is like $30 mil in LA).
-he'll be 2 hours away from NYC if he wants to party it up.
-he can still live in LA during the offseason if he wishes to.

[LoneyROY7]

From a mere city-to-city perspective, moving from LA to Philly is gonna suck.

[MrWarrior]

But he's been in LA for 6 years; I'm sure leaving the city isn't as big as a deal as you think it is. In fact, there's a good chance he's somewhat tired of it and wants a change.

Him leaving LA is no different than a dude leaving LA who just spent the last 6 years in LA getting his ugrad and masters degrees from USC. After a while, the appeal of LA starts to fade.

[Yung D-Will]

I think this is a great situation for Bynum. Something I've noticed, with players that have won championships early within their career, is their mentality usually ends up being the complete opposite of the normal nba player. The normal NBA player plays for stats and a paycheck early in their career and then transitions later into their career into focusing soley on winning championships. For guys like Bynum they've won so early on in their career, so now is the time they're focusing on gettin paid and establishing themselves as elite players.

75 degree weather every day and being in the center of all the celebrities/actors/peers doesn't fade. :D

Dumb post. Philly is definitely ahead of Houston and Cleveland.

They are also a big market (I believe bigger than Houston...not sure...but they definitely would be if you count in the surrounding towns). And oh yeah, Bynum grew up in NJ. So I'm sure he couldn't give a F about Houston or Cleveland.
