Andrew Bynum???

As you should be. He would be solid back-up at centre. Its just a shame that since his coming out that there has been a grey cloud hovering over his professional basketball career.

True - and if there's a market where that cloud doesn't matter, it's Toronto.

Also, he sucks and is old

I don't think he sucks. Physical and solid defensively. What more do you want? Better then our options now to back-up JV.

He's old, but so what? He's a good defensive center. For a backup C, that's all you want: five or ten minutes a night of solid D. He'd give us better minutes than, say, Austin Daye.

I would've entertained trading for him before Tuesday... so we could do exactly what Chicago did.
Otherwise, what Tracy Morgan said.

I'd rather have Hayes

Don't let Bryan Colangelo hear about this.... He'll email/call and text Ujiri that its a sexy move.

Adds us more organic growth potential.

Stein's take on Bynum: http://espn.go.com/blog/marc-stein/p...-new-team-soon

The inclusion of OKC as a possible suitor, since they have the MLE available and Perkins as their starting C, was interesting. If OKC were to sign him, they'd be into luxury tax territory. I wonder if Toronto could come in with a trade to acquire Perkins and their 2014 1st round pick and/or Lamb, in exchange for a lesser contract?

Salmons would save them a little over $1M this season (pro-rated), but could same them about $8.4M next season, if bought out. There were also rumors about a month ago saying that OKC was looking for a veteran wing, and Salmons has looked a little rejuvenated since the trade to Toronto.

Perkins could be a decent backup/mentor for JV for a season-and-a-half (or less, if traded next season), which could be a worthwhile pickup if it also brings a 1st round pick and/or a prospect like Lamb. The inclusion of Lamb would increase OKC's savings by a little over $2M this season (pro-rated), and would provide further savings the next couple seasons as well.

Just spitballing here...

If Bynum became JV mentor Jonas would probably start selling coke

On the bright side, we'd see some wicked new hairstyles from Jonas!

So, you are saying Hayes / Hansborough not a good backups / mentors for JV, especially with Magloire helping out on the mentoring side as well?

[Bendit]

Dig the look!

[BigCamB]

Agreed.

Basically, anyone other than Bynum.

LOL, I love this response as Andrew Bynum does look like Tracy Morgan!
