Dwight got open looks for his perimeter players because of defense’s focusing on him. Bynum gets one on one looks because the defense is focused on the perimeter. Different circumstances. The way I see it, if the players switched teams, the Lakers would be better and the Magic not as good.

To add, he really struggled when Kobe was out with injury. The Lakers were winning, but it was due to Gasol’s increased efforts. Bynum is pretty good on D though, but he struggles offensively any time he’s double teamed.

That’s probably true. The Magic have been built around Dwight’s skill set while the Lakers have been built around Kobe.

Take Dwight off of Orlando, and there would be a drop-off.

where is the damn edit button!!!

Bynum averaged 19 and 12 in a slow paced offense with the fluidity of a corpse at the same age that Howard averaged 18-13 in a pretty fast paced offense.

It is likely that he’ll age better than Dwight Howard.

didn’t pay that much attention to Mike Brown in Clev., has he always fucked with thte rotation on a daily basis with seemingly no rhyme or reason??

Yes. Starting lineups and rotations changed daily. One game a guy would get 30 min and then he’d go 2 games without seeing the floor. Completely inexplicable.

Bynum has the fluidity of a corpse which makes him struggle against length. That is why he struggled against Denver and OKC for large stretches in the playoffs. The Lakers will never be the best they can be at this point as long as they have their best post player hanging around in the high post and perimeter.

I’m not sure if that was due to Buss’s commands to free up Bynum or what, but it was a stupid move. Gasol is a decent shooter, but I don’t want to see a 7-1 player not named Dirk shooting spot up 3s

100% agree, the guy (Brown) just does some weird shit

He did well with rotations in CLE. Rotations take time to evolve and last year was a nightmare with the lack of practices for new coaches. Plus he didn’t have Odom or Gasol was at times in a funk. It’s a player’s league and not sure who was getting more from last year’s team.

I was more pissed about him turning Gasol, one of the best post players in the league, into a spot up shooter.

Bynum’s skill set seems to age better.

Can’t be any less risky than relying on Bynum’s knees.

or Kobes. Or Nash’s back. Or Gasols work ethic and mood. or Mike Browns coaching.

he’ll have a little more juice for defense.

He did a great job on Westbrook the few times that he was on him against OKC. However, Kobe does not have the ability to stay with him for longer than maybe a quarter without getting gassed and chucking up airballs on the other end.

/ he will shoot those shots regardless

Gasol needs to mask his own bad D

Gasol is still too much of a quiche eater for me. So frustrated with his inability or desire to sack up and be aggressive.

’d want to know Howard’s back was healthy before I pulled a trade.
