DEVELOPING: Andrew Bynum may be done for the season

Wow. Great trade!

Somebody is getting the bowling shoe in the ass for this, whether it is the team doctor, who understimated the condition of his knees or the GM, who took the calculated risk.

Imagine if Orlando kept Howard for a few months longer, Lakers would have never had Howard now or ever. Poor Magic.. Some franchises are lucky and some are cursed. This is the prime example.

i heard he's going to use the trailblazers medical staff to rehab.

Orlando got what they wanted. This is on the Sixers.

[HylianNightmare]

damn, really wanted to see him be the 1st option with that sixers team

[HylianNightmare]

does this make the sixers join the gortat race?

[Rolando]

GOBB must be pissed.

Does Bynum still get a max deal after this season?

I saw that Stein believes so

[ripthekik]

any sixers fan here? would love to see reactions :roll:

they all hanging themselves right about now

Don't you feel sorry for the 76ers....who, ya know....traded for Bynum? :confusedshrug:

Maybe that young Magic GM actually knew what he was doing. :eek:

This. I just want him to get healthy so I can watch him. Hope this aint career threatening

[wally_world]

thing is, he's still gonna get a max contract next season :facepalm

[bluechox2]

This. I just want him to get healthy so I can watch him. Hope this aint career threatening
its safe to say this will be his career and still get paid well to play 10-30 games a season

[Shepseskaf]

What a surprise. Anyone who gives this fool a max deal is a bigger fool.

[Jailblazers7]

At least Jrue Holiday's extension looks like an awesome move for us. I'm still not that mad about the trade tbh even if Bynum is out for the year. Sure, it screwed us over royally this season but it does no long term damage.

[bluechox2]

What a surprise. Anyone who gives this fool a max deal is a bigger fool.
yup, id give him a one year deal with a team option for a 2nd if i were the sixers

Maybe he wouldn't get injured if he stayed in LA.

[DillaSaysGo]

I still would do the trade. Getting rid of Iggy is letting Jrue be the man and hes playing great. Also with Iggy gone Turner is really getting a chance to show what hes capable of, whether or not he lives up to expectations or not hes getting the chance cause Iggy is gone. Iggy needed to go.

[EricGordon23]

:lol So can I. What a mix that would be. Every single game would be a "must see".

[chazzy]

Hope not, I really wanted him to do well

[lilgodfather1]

If he doesn't play a single game this year, and the injury is going to carry over in to next year possibly then there is absolutely no way he gets anything more than an 8 million dollar offer imo. He's just too big of a risk for even the stupidest GM's to gamble on.

I bet Pat Riley is all smiles right now though. He is likely incredibly excited about the possibility of adding Bynum to the Heat next year because let's face it if the money is roughly equal, then a player starts to look at title hopes, and the city.

If Philly is offering you 8 million, and Miami is offering you 6 million, you're taking the 6 million 9/10 times imo. Bynum might be the 10th though...

Oh yeah by the way I wonder how foolish Bynum and his agent feel right now for not taking the extension? If this injury is really this bad then it could cost Bynum 50 million or more lol.

You haven't been listening to him for the last few years. He's not the type of guy who is going to leave money on the table to chase titles. I don't have time to go dig up quotes as proof now but his love for ATMs is pretty well documented.

[rodman91]

He did it again.:bowdown:

[pegasus]

76ers were about ready to dump AI's contract on anyone that was willing to take it. They got extremely lucky when that trade went down, and even if Bynum never plays in a Sixers uniform, they are not majorly screwed.

[All Net]

That pic is great :lol

That's why I said he might be the 10th. I remember something along the lines of "if they have a bank i'll play there" or something like that. Still his agent would know if he actually can make more money in Miami because of the no state income tax, and I suspect the difference would be very minimal because of the tax difference. Still if Bynum values say 500,000 dollars more than a dynasty then I don't think he deserves to be in the NBA anyways...

Bynum is taking the max offered to him. Not sure what you mean by "9/10". Bynum has 2 rings, he's not taking a discount when he doesn't know how long his career will be. Heat fans :facepalm

[Styles p]

the double standards on this site are hilarious. when rose went down and a few people laughed at him they were "terrible people" "not fans of the sport" bynum gets injured and everybody thinks it's funny. even if he doesn't play this season it was still a good move to make at the time. this will only hurt us this season, and the team seems to be playing good without him anyway.

Why do kids here think I care that Bynum may never play? He's a free agent. Goodbye, see ya. Maybe your silly posts would hold some type of weight if Sixers maxed out Bynum them this happened. Yes I'd be pissed, mad etc etc

That isn't the case. Sixers get rid of Iggy and his contract that hindered the Sixers from ever advancing to the next step or playing the lottery. I was happy wen Dalembert was traded then I had kings fans mentioning what Sammy did there. Fast forward to today!? I have the last laugh. No one even mentions Dalembert at all. I'm happy Iggy is gone. He tied up too much payroll which prevented the team to make moves. Bynum was a risk I was aware of. Did I highlight it much in my posts about the move being a good one? No, there was no reason too.

Sixers move on. It doesn't bother me one bit.

I do wonder if Sixers could get compensation like Boston did fr Jeff Green. Then again Sixers probably knew and didn't care. Sucks Bynum can't be in the middle helping this team which he would have. But Sixers move on. Got some assets to trade as well. Either improve or be bad like the other lottery teams.

f'n Bynum :facepalm first cereal incident, then his 3pt shots, and now f'n bowling :facepalm i believed so much in this guys freak dominance and to not see it happen due to stupidity is so :facepalm

f'n bynum :facepalm

[DuMa]

this is all on the sixers. they gambled and lost. ORL knew bynum's bad history with his knees and bad history with his screwed up head. they didnt want him. lakers didnt want him. that should have sent enough red flags to Philly's way to see why Bynum's trade value was nowhere near as it was. Lakers get lucky again by getting rid of Bynum and acquiring Dwight.

One player got injured while trying to win games for his team in playoffs. Other has been sent from his team and didn't give anything to Sixers except making look all franchise look as dumb as his hairstyle.

Of course there will be double standards.

Hindsight is always 20 20 guys.

ORL is sooo smart for not taking him, they knew his knee problems etc... That is bull. There is no way they could know the future. It was all random chance. And who knows at this point he can come back later and be a beast. No one knows. Just because you are all overly pessmistic and always assume the worst doesn't mean you are right when negative stuff does happen.

Bynum's had one healthy season so it was completely justified to be pessimistic. I wouldn't have blamed Orlando for taking him cause they got nothing but trash back anyway, and it would've only been for 1 year. Philly gave up for Iggy for him though. That was stupid. However, it won't be nearly as bad as if anyone gives him anywhere close to a max contract next season.

lets put it this way. If casual fans like myself were warning about this before/during the trade, a professional Front Office and Medical Staff should be able to see the writing on the wall as well. Again, its not like hes had an iron man career. Dude has had, what, one season? where he played more than 75% of the games?

[Whoah10115]

Honestly, even tho he's hurt...IF he is out for the year, I wonder what happens with him getting a contract anywhere.


It seems to me that the Suns should and will be looking at him. I don't think this means his career is over or anything ridiculous like that. I don't expect him to regularly be getting hurt while playing, but his offseason regiment and preparation have to come under scrutiny.


Also, it seems that the blood-spinning surgery takes some time to really take effect. I don't think he'll be out the year, but we'll see.


If he is, Spencer Hawes will become the starter.

GOBB is the new Konex. Everytime he makes a thread about the Sixers the opposite happens. Inb4 he says it's not a big deal. Philly is full of garbage.

[WeGetRing2012]

Philly didn't get completely screwed. The only major piece they gave up was Andre Iguodala & they didn't want to extend him anyway. Now they have the cap room to add a nice piece over the summer. They should be happy this all happened before they gave Bynum an extension.

[outbreak]

People need to stop over rating his bowling injury. He was beginning physical rehab on his knee. Bowling is not an intense sport. He was allowed to be bowling and it wasn't thought to be causing any more damage to his knee. If he hadn't of hurt it bowling, he would have surely hurt it the same in future rehab sessions. Still funny but it's not as dumb a move as everyone is making it out to be.
The worrying signs are how Bynum's responding to interviews aswell. He seems like he's really doubting that he'll ever be right again. One quote had him saying they he's worried because if bowling hurts him like this what happens next time he tries to dunk.

[All Net]

Makes you wonder if he still gets max deal if he is out for the year... Yeah course he will. Owners gave hibbert and Gordon max :lol

[madmax17]

i heard he's going to use the trailblazers medical staff to rehab.Maybe better to use the Suns.

[PleezeBelieve]

Why is GOOB acting like this is no big deal?

Iggy has 18 months left on his contract including a player option in 13/14.

Philly has a 64 million dollar payroll this year with a full roster and a 46 million dollar payroll in 13/14 that only accounts for 8 or so roster spots.

They essentially gave Iggy away for nothing and lost his trade value and player value at the same damn time.

Utter failure of a move here.

Its not. The fans here wanted Iggy gone. He made a ton of money eating up payroll. So we continue to ride it out wityh Iggy until he becomes an unrestricted free agent? Sitting in the land of mediocrity where you are a 1 and done playoff team in a conference that overall isnt strong? Use your head simpleton. Sixers overvalued Iggy so to think he would have had value to be moved had he not been tgraded for Bynum is hilarious. They had no intentions on moving Iggy for expirers so nix those hawkfan trade proposal deals. They wanted a legit star caliber player in return. Fact, not fiction. Iggy has been on the trade table for years yet this is the only time he was moved? Oh for a legitimate big man. They gambled on a guy like Bynum, I'm not mad. But they overvalue Iggy which is why his tenure here has been long overdue.

Hardly a failure because Bynum costs the Sixers nothing in the long run. Sixers can take the cap space, the assets on the team to be traded and make moves. I wouldnt mind being your Cavs living in the land of lottery until it works. But Iggy prevented that.

How is Evan Turner by the way? I cant hear you. Whats that? Another prospect you hyped up that became a dud. :rolleyes:

[chazzy]

One of the top orthopedic surgeons in America, who is not involved in Bynum’s treatment and has not seen his MRIs, told The News Journal on Saturday that all of the publicly available information points to a probable diagnosis of osteochondral lesions, a condition that may keep Bynum out for the season.

So this is all sparked by one doctor's guess based entirely off of the media reports of the symptoms? No access to Bynum directly or his medical records/MRIs? This is reallllly premature.. though the vague injury reports are concerning.
