Would Jazz fans want Bynum

It'd be enticing, that's for sure. I'd have to give it a lot of thought, though. How much time do I have before I have to make a decision?

Kupchak and Hennigan conference call you and say, "we got CLE on the other line, we'll give you 30 minutes to talk to Gail/Greg/Heavenly Father, and if we haven't heard from you by then, Dwight's going to LA and Bynum's going to CLE"
 
Theoretically we'd have to take back some bad contracts (see Turkoglu, Hedo), but the offer that people are currently talking about is the Cavs would send Varejao and picks. Jazz can offer a much better package than that. Or if they (ORL) want a young big, I'd be willing to swap Paul for Kanter to get it done.

Hadn't seen that yet. Just checked RealGM now. I realize Bynum is a punk but it seems weird ORL would rather have picks and Vareajo than Bynum.

DEAL! We've got a deal! Take what you wiil, give us BYNBUM!
 
There is obviously no way Bynum would agree to an extension before the trade. Knowing that, what would you give up for him to gamble that he would re-sign? Or maybe people dont want him in general.
 
We have no assurance with Al or Paul either. I'd take the gamble on Bynum over either and both of those 2. If he came here he would be the focal pointe of the offense with him and Favors on the defensive end this team would be much better off than we are right now. I'd take this trade. I'd rather do it without the GS pick but almost no way that could happen. So I think I'd do it even with it.

And look at it this way (assuming he doesn't sign an extension), if we got Bynum and he killed it, we could then offer him a ton more money than anybody else, and if he gets injured or starts sniffing coke on a daily basis, then we only have him for a year and we'd still have a butt-load of cap space. There's not a lot of negatives to this trade.
 
I wouldn't include Milsap unless Utah was getting Glen Davis as well, but I would do Jefferson, GSW pick, and a future first rounder for Bynum (only if he signed an extension). I'm sure the lakers would have to kick in a first-rounder for Dwight as well.

The ideal would be to add Jason Richardson and Raja Bell into the deal as well. Bell is expiring and Richardson is cheaper and a better shooter, so it is a win-win.
