It's certainly possible that Bynum would turn out better than Frye but you don't trade a top 4 6'11" rookie for some 18 yr old kid with lots of unknowns just because he's athletic. It would be an awful gamble.

Frye is going to be an all-star, or near all-star for the rest of his career.

Why so? Why are you allowed to think that Frye is going to be a near all-star and others aren't allowed to think that Bynum is a near all-star? What makes you so elitist in this fashion?

The guy has all the skills to become a dominant beast in the post. Will he? Who knows but I see no reason why he wouldn't. He has a great work-ethic and that can go a long way.

Because Frye has racked up an 18.2 PER in the NBA in his rookie season playing for a horrible coach. Joe Johnson, by comparison had a 18.1 PER. Frye had the 36th best PER in the NBA, higher than all-stars like Rasheed Wallace, Antawn Jamison, Ben Wallace, Odom, etc. Frye is going to be an all-star very soon, any normal kind of projection as far as minutes and improving until he hits his prime tells you this.

Heck, Curry is in the top 50 for PER, at 17.2 he's well above average.

Meanwhile Bynum had a PER of 7.4, which was almost as good as Sasha Vujacic.

I know it's fashionable to hate on Curry and Frye, but acting like these guys are not incredibly skilled big men just makes you look silly.

they're both 23. some guys it takes a while to improve their D. look at Dirk, he improved this past season at age 28. defense is just work and strength and knowing how to position yourself. I believe Frye has the work ethic to get all the way there. Jury is out on Curry.

I agree Frye has the potential to improve like Dirk did defensively just like Bynum has the potential to be a top nba center based on his physical tools alone

yes, but the difference is that both Frye and Curry have shown that they can consistently succeed on the NBA level. Bynum has yet to show consistency on the summer league level. the NBA is all about consistency. Curry has averaged 16ppg and led the league in FG%, he had a health concern which set him back after his best season but that seems behind him now. Frye was averaging 15ppg and 6rpg off the bench before Larry cut his PT (most people would've, I dunno, STARTED Frye at that point?). That's consistency that can be tapped further and I think both of them can be 20ppg 8rpg 1.5bpg guys in the very near future. If they improved their defense, the way their games compliment one another is going to be scary for other teams to match up with.

Bynum has a long way to go before he gets to Frye or Curry's level. He may be in the same place as Frye and Curry are now in three-four years and that's fine. But just realize he has a long way to go.

I actually agree with everything you said. I do want Bynum, but Frye's price tag has to be at good value. Trading him straight up for Bynum would be poor value. I'd at least want Bynum and a pick in return, otherwise it's just too high a price to pay for the riskier (but higher ceiling) player.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

I would trade him, here is why.

I think Frye is going to be a good nBA player in his prime, maybe lower level all star 2-3 times. But just taking some examples from every step college, 1st year and into this SL, I dont see a player who can be viewed as a franchise player, a guy who can carry a team. Hes finessed-orientated, he was scared of amare stoudemire and looked like nothing going against him, while amare was playing at 25%. A lot of his first year success wa based on jump-shooting and when it went south, so did Frye.

Bynum isnt going to be 19 until after the next season starts. Its impossible to compare a player who is 5 years older with 4 years of major college PT behind him.

Bynum's play this year has gone up, although he hasnt performed well on back to backs--thats not uncommon with huge players, but something that he will have to overcome--but from what I have personally seen, Bynum DOES have franchise potential and in the nBA you need franchise players to WIN big. I do not believe the Knicks have one franchsie player.

There is a gamble to my position, but from what I see it's becoming more of an WHEN proposition, not IF.

What is all this talk of PER. Frye, Curry, Nate all had horrid defensive outputs this year. Offensive isn't the only side of the game and defense accounts for just as much. I don't care if those guys can all score 20ppg if they can't stop the man their guarding from scoring its all NULL.

What physical tools do you have in mind? A magic wand maybe?

Bynum has to prove that he is better than Kwame Brown at this point. Yeah, I mean Bynum is a big kid. He lacks Shaq's quickness, isn't as athlethic as Eddy Curry, doesn't have the handle of even a Kwame Brown. There is no way Bynum develops on the Laker as long as Kobe is on that team. He really reminds me of a young Kevin Duckworth which isn't bad at all. Big Body, that could wear you out and played very good defense.

No, because of the draft pick swap option the Bulls have next year.

LOL. Bynum puts up multiple huge games, tremendous improvement in one year still only 18 7-2 285 pound--if he had these types of games as a NYK at this age, he would be the second coming of the basketball Jesus. We get a 6-6 player who dunks and avg 7 points 4 reb and hes Latrell sprewell JR. LOL

LOL! It's true. You see how much people like Jackie B on this page, imagine what they would have done when Bynum completely schooled Shaq both defensively and offensively back to back plays on Jan 16 of this year. The guy is an ultimate basketball prospect because he can do it all.

Dominant beast in the post..Dude don't embarrass yourself....He's third string to Kwame Brown...Think about that...If Bynum has near allstar skills, pigs can fly...

Would anyone here trade Frye for Bynum?
