LOL. That guy in your sig is a Kings fan from RealGM IIRC...HILARIOUS!

he was already mad after the Nash trade, think he completly stop posting on the general board after the howard trade along with some homer Celtic fan who was adamant that we would have to include Pau as well to get Howard

I think his fro looks like old school Dr. J's; that's why he looks so good in a Sixer outfit.

I know he'll never be in the Mount Rushmore of Laker Centers, but Bynum's the only one we drafted and developed and he was an integral part of 2 rings. I appreciated his time in LA. Just wish he had remained healthier.

The fans want you here long-term and you basically said right away you want to make this your home: Andrew Bynum: “Exactly. I’m looking forward to being here. I don’t like to jump around, jump ship, a lot. I was with the Lakers for seven years. I want to be here for that or even longer.”

no he doesn't. You cannot get a no-trade clause going to a new team.

shame is that his first injury wasn't his fault ... then it all kinda snowballed ... it's Grant Hill like ... shame

He can after his 3 year extension ends. All indications are that he's going to sign that extension. If he wants to be there 7 years or even longer, the best way to ensure that is to have a no-trade clause.

as far as I know that's not possible.

You have to be in the league at least 8 years and with the same team at least 4 years to get a no trade clause from that team. In other words, he has to spend 4 seasons in Philly to be eligible. That right doesn't come with your bird tights.

Swapping out the second best center (arguably the best) for the general consensus best center wouldn't have been much of a drop off at all. They should have kept Ryan Anderson as the stretch 4, too. The slash and burn re-tooling would drive me insane if I were one of their fans.
