And I would give Iggy more money than Bynum. Not saying I would max him. I also wouldnt have traded Iggy for Bynum if i was in the Sixers front office.

Lord no!  Bynum is an idiot and a locker room vacuum.  No one should sign him to a max deal.  But, knowing it's the NBA, someone will.  Someone running a bad franchise.

Definitely not.  A degenerative knee issue by definition isn't going to get better over time.

I'd be more inclined to give Andrew Bogut a max deal.  At least the "other" Andrew is looking like it's possible for him to be healthy again.

No.  He won't get a max deal plus he probably IMO will look to sign a 1 year deal to try and build his value back up...

Any long term deal he would be offered would be a GM killer

 his Knees are bone on Bone ...he needs TWO knee joint replacements .   to much wear for injections to work anymore .....he going down HILL really fast . Knees like a 75-80 year old man who worked hqrd all his life.   Not worth a box of crackerjacks IMO


Pau Gasol...is planning on getting the stim -cell (VERY EXPENSIVE) , his issues are totally diff then Bynum . 

Gasol , might get some better after the treatments. 

Never seen NBA players play on replacement knee joints

I don't think he will get offered anything close to a max deal. He will most likely get a 2 year deal with a team option or 1 year deal.

I would rather give money to Oden.

You've got to be kidding me, right?

Not only does he has an injury tendancy somewhere in between Greg Oden and Amare, but even when he is healthy the guy is an abolute head case.

I would probably name at least 10 centers I would take over this guy even when healthy, and KG is one of them.  Bynum is an absolutely and utter moron.

Let me put things into perspective.  Firstly he has a tendancy to break team rules by doing contract breaking R&R activities while healing, only to reinjure himself in the process.  You want your $100m player being out a season because he decided to go skiing on his torn ACL?

Secondly the guy makes bonehead decisions ON the court.  You want your 7 foot center (who happens to have zero range outside of 5 feet) taking threes?  I thought not.

If you want to take a chance on a head case the do so in Demarcus Cousins or Josh Smith.  Cousins has age and health on his side, while Smith is just a superior athlete and talent.

That would be as dumb as giving Vin Baker a maximum deal. The way the game is oriented toward PGs, SFs and PFs, no center is a maximum player these days. The best center in the league is probably Marc Gasol. Is he a maximum player?

Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, and of course Lebron James are your maximum players today.
