THis has yet to come up, but its gonna, so lets deal with it: Whom would Knickfans prefer with a 65 year old Larry, A 29 year old Marbs, and Mature rookies. And lets assume Curry is not a "dead man walking", but a healthy young man!
22 year old 4 year experienced Can Do Curry?
18 year old raw but big upside "Briggs" Bynum?

22 year olds who can dominate in the post are more valuable than 17 year olds whose major talent is eating.


typical Bynum false criticism. Apparently you haven't seen his recent pictures
I live in LA and have seen quite a bit of him. Yes, he lost weight, too, but he gained it very quickly when he dinged his knee and that scared a lot of people. There are more Oliver Millers and Stanley Roberts's than Shaqs.


He has great size and skill, he's no stiff and I wouldn't worry about his weight too much since he's only 17. a guy named Eddy Curry had more severe weight problems at that age

A guy named Eddy Curry was also a more dominant player at that age as well.

true but it doesn't mean Bynum is more like Oliver Miller and Stanley Roberts. Bynum will be a better shotblocker/rebounder than Curry. It won't be too hard for Bynum to surpass Curry's 5rebs/0.9blks as the center of the future for the Lakers

I don't think you can speculate as to what Bynum would be... the question is more whether you would take a risk with a young Bynum who may turn out better, worse or the same as Curry, or the developed player that Curry has become. While I'd like to continue to see Curry develop, I am willing to take the player that Curry is now. That said, I probably would have taken Bynum over Frye.
You know I gonna spin wit it

But Curry's already through that, and Bynum isn't, and Curry at 17 was a better player than Bynum was.

when will we officially get to say that bynum is or isn't a bust?

I just want to know. Kwame is going on Year 4 and the jury is still out on him AND he was a number one pick AND he was just as dominant as bynum against other high school players.

Just let me know when so I can go back to rooting for the knicks.
all kool aid all the time.

I think four years is fair.

the truly ridiculous thing is that if everything breaks juuuuust right with Curry, Frye, Nate, Ariza, Craw - with that nucleus and Marbury still in his prime, we have a window to contend for a championship within the next three years.

with Bynum there's no way we contend for a championship while Marbury is still a star player.

Isiah has a lot of faith in Steph, and I think it's informed most of his personnel decisions.

I give them 6!

Why? I think by 25 years old we know if a player is developed. I know in baseball the most productive years for a pitcher does not start on avg. until they are 28!

If a player when to school 4 years we would not expect him to tear it up in a rookie year. Moses Malone took about 6 year to full develope into a monster!

I Think a player gets more developement in school because the travel schedule in the NBA is so brutal. I'd shelve this kid on road trips an let him stay home and train. NBDL a good deal.

Same for Jackie Blue by the way.

I think Currys best years are still ahead of him. I'd accept a cut in pts. for his boards to go up!

I chose Curry, due to his past NBA experiance, Bynum is still unproven in this league.
'Core,

you becoming completely predictable! I dig your enthusiasm though!

LOL although I usually I try to keep 'em guessing, IMO I just stated the obvious.


Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

Ws thats what matters. We spent a lot of money--Bynum was the right choice for the long term--but they had to look beyond the box with him--his growth from just the draft till now in game and body is on warp speed. He ha a much higher IQ than Curry and a longer body with better skills. Curry has that explosive athletiscm rarely seen in a big guy--two different guys.

only the W talks--we can see it heran opine all we want--but now the time has come for them to produce a lot of Ws
RIP Crushalot😞

Exactly, Isiah may not be around in 4 years to see the development that Bynum takes. He's building a team with parts that continue in the future. Seems pointless to debate since if Bynum takes the floor this year that's a sign the Lakers are in real trouble. With Jackson as coach I doubt he'll get much playing time anyways as he likes vets.
