He could also pick up the phone to conduct trade talks. There is zero credence to this, I will bet my one remaining testicle on that.

As the rumor goes, it all hinges on the Cavs signing Bynum long term.

As we all know many fans also have rocks in their head so take those comments for what they are or are not worth.
The fact they are willing to trade the 2nd best center in the league for a total prima dona that is also the best center in the league says something. If Bynum was a great teammate, high bball IQ, etc. you would think they wouldn't want to take on Howard and Howard's baggage in exchange for him.

All he did was mention the 3 teams that currently have significant cap space for next year. He was just keeping his options as open as possible. Nothing more nothing less.

"I've had zero conversations with Chris Grant," said David Lee, Bynum's agent. "I would imagine any team involved in this trade would be smart enough to talk to us."
"I am often puzzled as to the basis of an article. I am particularly puzzled with that one," Lee said. "When I read it, I was in Alaska with Andrew and his family. I have no clue who he could have been talking to. I was taken aback by the list, considering there is nobody in anybody's camp he could've been talking to. I have no idea where that came about."

motherscratcher wrote:Zeller? Who gives a shit about Zeller?
He's a nice player and all, but when Bynum is on the table he's not even a little bit of a concern. Worrying about Zeller is like saying "Sure, I'd love to have Calvin Johnson on the Browns, but if we traded for him what would we do with Greg Little?"

#1. If you sign a guy to a max deal at 24, you're not worried about the "end" of his career.
#2. Bynum weighs 290 at a LEGIT 7 foot height. Waiters weighs what, 225 at 6'2?
#3. Zeller is a rookie 1st round pick who ideally should be coming off the bench and learning the game, while hopefully bulking up. His development would be helped by learning from one of the best in the game, not hindered.
#4. How many "running" teams in this league are successful? Cavs were just terrible last year, especially in half court sets where Kyrie or Sessions didn't create something. The other 4 guys on the floor were incapable of creating their own shot.
Bottom line: in the fantasy land scenario where Bynum came to Cleveland (which is pure fantasy, because that shit never happens, ever) you take that deal without blinking. You need 2-3 stars to win in this league, and you just don't ever get a chance to get one, in their prime. Anything contrary to that is straight up foolishness of the highest order.

Andrew Bynum is a bad fit for the Cavs is.... yep.
Plus I'm still trying to figureo out if he is the single dumbest human being alive or the biggest troll in the history of the internet. I'm leaning heavily toward troll at this point, but who knows.
