where's r-star?

**Laker Freak** · 10-03-2012, 11:11 PM

I'm surprised this isn't getting more attention. If he was still on the Lakers I would be absolutely disgusted that he waited this long to get the procedure done. No excuse for waiting especially since he did this exact same thing a couple years ago.

He'll have a week in between the three weeks resting and the start of the regular season. I doubt he misses time to start the season. They're doing this more as a precautionary measure.

No doubt. If he was still on the Lakers Bogg, R-star and Diable would of been in here by now.

I already was in here. There's nothing left to say that I haven't said a dozen times already, though.

I stand corrected, however you sure didn't mind repeating yourself over and over about Bynum alone being enough to acquire Dwight Howard.

Not much to write. The guy is a lazy, self centered bitch, just as I've said all along. Why get the procedure during the summer when you can wait and rehab during the regular season?

I fully expect the guy to stat stuff and get some crazy box scores this year. He'll get maxed out, and after that its all downhill. Whatever team gets him next offseason, he's going to ****ing cripple them.

**Jace** · 10-06-2012, 11:28 PM

Thank god he's bringing his 3-ball to Philly.

I was adamant that kicking off a complete re-build by maxing out Bynum was/is a bad idea(and still am). He'll keep you good enough that you won't get the chance to draft high in the lottery, but he's not good enough to surround with role-players and compete. He's structurally unsound, and I'm not sold on the idea of him ripping off 5-7 years where he plays 70+ games, 35-ish mpg, and deals with constantly being the focus of the other team's defense. Philly used him to re-shuffle the deck on a playoff team, which is a little bit different, because if Bynum stays healthy and both Turner and Holliday really pan out they could be very good. I still wouldn't want my team locking him up for five years at the max and counting on him to be the team's best player and leader.

What country do you go to to get a brain transplant?

**E.H. Munro** · 10-07-2012, 09:43 PM

Nigeria.

Seems to me that your opinion of him doesn't match that of most GMs. Before you were saying it was insane to expect the lakers to acquire Dwight for Bynum when tons of teams can offer more. As long as you admit you're in the minority than cool.

**R-Star** · 10-07-2012, 11:38 PM

Funny how some Lakers fans opinion of the Amazing Andrew Bynum has changed.

**R-Star** · 10-08-2012, 06:03 PM

And that last post train wrecks the discussion.

Hilarious.
