Bynum is only going to be a fringe player for the Lakers this year
Bogut on the other hand, I would not sleep on bogut. for the guys like isiah and what other GM thinks Frye is better than bogut and basically bogut is a ore skilled chris mihm--you know white man cant play stuff, well i think they are in for some shock and awe. Bogut will equal 18 points 10 rebounds this year.
If that's the case Bynum needs to keep his mouth shut. No more self comparisons to Shaq (who he compared himself to and said 'except i can shoot free throws), Kareem etc. He's bringing the thrashing on himself. He's raising the expectations. I know you'd like to keep them low but you and Bynum obviously disagree on his importance to the NBA at this point.
As for Bogut, I don't care what he scores. It will not stop Kobe from posterizing him.....and I'd guess a record 5 times in 2 games. Also, Isiah was moreso endorsing his own player in saying he'd take Frye at one. If asked would the Lakers have taken Frye or Bogut if they had the top pick I'm sure they'd say "we got our guy". Isiah's a smart basketball mind. He knows who is who. You just must, as GM, support your guy no matter what.
