TWC is worried or should be they put up the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Jim Buss

The LA Lakers have 11 championships, not 17.

Well,the franchise as a whole has 16 championships.They won 5 as the Minneapolis Lakers.

Yeah. Come the end of next season, he does what he has to do. The Heat could have 3 rings in a row. ANY professional franchise would be happy with 3 championships in a row.

 

[lacubs]

why would Cleveland offer Bynum a 2-yrs deal? i thought they wanted cap room for next off season

Yup.. Lakers/Bulls done it twice and of course Celtics had the never to be broken eight-peat.

I have not seen the details, but I would not be surprised if the second year was the team option. If he works out, the team has a center when, GOD forbid, if Lebron wants to return to the Cavs.

Doubt Lebron takes his talents back to Cleveland as it might/will "tarnish" his "legacy" as he shows he can't carry a team to the promise land without fellow all-stars riding shot gun.

if Bynum was there we would have 2. my gut tells me if he keeps getting rings he stays(really?) :
or if Wade retires.
Kyrie Irving
Andrew Bynum

he carried the team plenty of times this past season and the season before. even jordan needed help from his other guys many times. at least that's how i remember it when i watched their games from their 1st trip to the finals until jordan left the bulls. i also doubt he goes back to that place. how about cleveland actually taking him back if he does go there after all that was said and done when his departure from the cavs? i haven't heard the owner nor cleveland fans shoot down the idea. LMAO!!!!

 

[Rey]

i still don't see what's so great about bynum. he was lazy and couldn't stay healthy in LA. forget philly.......

Ira Winderman from the Palm Beach Post, or it could be the Ftl Sun-Sentinel, states that WITH the resigning of Birdman, the Heat would be paying around $33 million in luxury taxes for the 2013-14 season. Considering that Mickey Arison just stepped down from being the CEO of Carnival(stayed on the board of directors)and the crappy year financially and PR wise they have had...the Heat are in danger of not signing one of their Big Three.
