Andrew Bynum is available for trade, or at least we consider he is after a "bush league" evil on the Dallas Mavericks' J.J. Barea, paired with speculation that Dwight Howard may be heading west to Los Angeles has sent the NBA media's minds wandering.
Bynum's departure from Game 4 of the Lakers/Mavericks series seemed almost Lebron James-esque. James left his last game as a Cleveland Cavalier in remarkable the same method Bynum did, with their shirts off as if to say "I'm done with this."
Whether Bynum meant to evoke that image or not, we will not know. But it is the Howard heading to L.A. speculation that may play the biggest role in whether or not Bynum is a Laker next season.
If the Lakers pursue Howard, then they will need room at the center location, and Bynum would seek to be the peculiar man out.
If this is the case, teams will be sprinting to earn Bynum. The 23-year-old substantial man boasts the defensive and offensive abilities that not many players his size gain, which makes him a hot commodity if he is available.
If there was ever a team that needed a center with his situation of skills, it is every team, but the Golden place Warriors need him most.
A player like Bynum could keep the Warriors over the top in the Western Conference and into the playoffs most certainly.
The talk has always been about how the Warriors need a great man to perform around, and the opportunity to find a great man with his ability does not derive noteworthy better than this.
The Warriors need to throw the house at Andrew Bynum and the Lakers.
By the house, I mean anything.
Monta Ellis or Stephen Curry, you name it, the Lakers win it in exchange for Bynum.
It has advance to a point with the Warriors that they cannot procure with a stellar backcourt. They need a legitimate center if they want to obtain. And his name is not Andris Biedrins...
A frontcourt of Bynum and David Lee is a duo the Warriors can accomplish around. Building around Ellis and Curry is not. It's been proven with 36 wins this season, and less the season before.
impartial a possibility, but Curry, Dorell Wright, Lee and Bynum sounds a lot better than Ellis, Curry, Wright and Lee.
I am not saying that Ellis is on his plot out of Golden status, but if the Warriors want to get Bynum, either Ellis or Curry, plus a package of players and draft picks, will be L.A.-bound.
But it's worth it.
Give the Lakers what they want because an opportunity to snag a center of his caliber does not advance along that often, especially for a team that has not had a legitimate center since Nate Thurmond in 1976.
