"Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
Sixers announce Andrew Bynum projected to resume hoop activity Dec. 10 but likely to need 1-to-4 weeks of practice/conditioning from there"
"Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA
It could be until early January before center Andrew Bynum plays a game for the 76ers, team indicates in release."
That Howard for Bynum deal is looking really good for LA right now. He Bynum could soon be Oden 2.0
Bynum has already put up All-pro production at his position. As such there is no way he could be Bynum 2.0 More like Yao Ming 2.0
Yea, fair enough. Yao Ming 2.0 it is then. I think the sixers got screwed here. They will have to decide at the end of the season if they want to commit to a long term deal with him as well.
All they gave up though was igoudala. If im the sixers i make that trade one hundred times over again. They knew the risks but the upside was clearly worth it I think.
Iguadala is no srcub though, he was their best player. It's not like Bynum is Tim Duncan or anything, he's an immature thug with major injury history, and they have to decide on whether or not to mortgage their future on him with a massive contract this summer.
True, but they have Turner, Young, and Wright. And they picked up Jason Richardson in the trade as well. They have plenty of 2/3's and were really just Hawes and Lavoy Allen down low. Not to mention Bynum is a lot younger and age wise fits in a lot better with the team. Easy trade to make even with giving up Harkless, Vucevic and a future 1st.
