i love everyone thinking that the lakers can get it done with bynum... guy had 163 games started and has averaged 7.2 points.
also don't forget gasol will only be good for 50-60 games if you are lucky... better home those come towards the end of the year.

He played 35 games last year averaged 13 & 10 on 65% shooting with over 2 blocks a game in less then 30 min a game. He was also able to defend the best player in the post without needing a double team. <o

Points and rebounds increased to 17 & 10 last month of the season before his injury. He was getting better as the season went on. Not much more you can ask for...<o

He is a very nice 3rd/4th option on offense and really helps there D in the paint which was really needs help. He will also open up things for Gasol b/c he will draw attention away from him.<o

Pretty easy to see how he will make them much better with just thinking what he can do defensively.<o
