This cuts like a flaming knife through me. Not because I want Philly to be stronger or that I like Andrew Bynum, but because the guy just so happens to have his healthiest and best season just in time to have his highest value so that LA can swing a deal for the best center of this generation while apparently giving up NOTHING.
I hate the Lakers passionately but can't say anything other than how smart they have been. A couple of lucky circumstances true, but getting Pau, draftting Bynum, and getting Howard have been mostly skillful. Some good fortune involved, but mostly skill.
Makes me physically sick. They will easily surpass the C's within the next 5 years, probably within the next 2.
