Cavaliers center Andrew Bynum suspended indefinitely by team for conduct detrimental to the team.

About Bynum suspension, league source tells Yahoo: "He doesn't want to play basketball anymore. He never liked it that much in first place."

i give it about 2 days?

That is why I would target Poppavich, Buford, coaching staff and management in Spurs, development staff, along with Tim Duncan (in 2015 as a UFA) with high salaries for management and promised future jobs at high salaries with guarantees of no interference from Dolan, it would help attract FA's to play in NYC, along with valuing something we NEVER have valued in the past years (DEVELOPMENT and draft picks, PATIENCE, and salary cap)

He has the talent but like Amare also has physical injuries in addition to the heart or lack of like a Eddy Curry
However, he is a gamble and he does have the ability to be a top 5 Center in the entire league, which he is far from when he was in his earlier years
His contract should be in compensated from his "POTENTIAL" and injuries/lack of work ethic, I say his value for a contract, is the 8m (range as a low) to 15m (as his high)
How many years, how much guaranteed, is the biggest question, and he is someone that has to PROVE that belongs in the NBA after his last few stincts in the league with Philly and Cleveland now, it is a tricky and could pay out big if he regains his form, but is still far from it

but

is towards the early middle of his career, while suffering traumatic injuries both physical and mental

Questions to ask
==================

1- At what price is he "WORTH"

2- what is his true "VALUE"

3- Is he worth the time, effort, resources, to do so

4- Does he still have the fight in him and will he continue to put in the work necessary

5- Will his injuries allow him to recover and if not, can he accept playing a smaller role but still looking to put the work necessary to do so

6- Is he looking to be one of the TOP players in the league, in his position, or is he just looking to be a minor piece to a bigger puzzle like a Grant Hill in The Sun's.... and not the Grant Hill of Detroit or suppose to be in "Orlando"

If you can get them at the right place, it is worth the risk/reward, he may fall as low as under 5m (partial or unguaranteed or near the vet min at WORSE)

Again, no one can deny his talent, he may never regain his "potential and abilities" but if he can become a quality backup C or accept and play a smaller role, like Grant Hill did on the Suns, he can still be a piece to the puzzle, AT THE RIGHT PRICE

Your are probably "RIGHT" they "SHOULDN'T" especially at the contracts they get as their reward....

but

Why was Kidd so important to us along with the veterans we had last year?

Thats no good man. Teams need leadership but we need veterans in the team that don't play to keep the locker room together?

Sounds like the team needs to be rebuilt. We have bottom feeling teams that are beating us because what they lack in talent they bring with hard work and effort. Our team is lost right now. Our locket rim doesn't need vets we need new players. Most of the players we have are already seasoned veterans so that excuse is way out the Window.

Total revamp. Only tim Hardaway should stay

February 2010: Left hip injury. Missed two games.

March 2010: Strained left Achilles tendon. Missed 13 games.

February 2011: Left bone bruise. Missed one game.

April 2011: Right knee hyperextension. Missed one game.

September 2012: Orthokine treatment on both knees. Discomfort in both knees caused Bynum to miss start of season.

November 2012: Left knee reinjured bowling.

February 2013: Knee pain persists. "I have the most to lose by not playing and I want to get back."
