If this is the Lakers' Future, Our Best Days are Behind Us.

Incident after incident plagues one of the most immature 24 year olds walking the streets of L.A.  So now after the L.A. Lakers Game 3 loss to the Denver Nuggets in the playoffs, Andrew Bynum says "I was just not, I guess I don't know, maybe just not ready to play." Are you kidding me?!?!?! Seriously?!?!?! Can anyone contact Andrew Bynum and remind him this is the freaking NBA playoffs.  Than the reason why he wasn't ready, it has to be coaching, game planning, an emergency.  Let's pull the quote.  "I got there a little late," Bynum said of his Pepsi Center arrival before the Lakers practiced at a gym connected to their team hotel on Saturday. "So, I probably didn't have as much time as I needed. I was able to refocus to not let the first half bother me," Bynum said. "So, that's what it's all about. Just going out there with a sort of fire, and I had that in the second half."

This guy's gotta be joking right?!?!?!  I guess this is no surprise with the last few idiotic things he has done.
  • Andrew Bynum gets benched for taking a 3 in a game, so instead of taking it like a man what does he do. Pout on the sideline, and makes quotes like this, “I don’t know what was bench-worthy about the shot, to be honest with you, I made one last [game] and wanted to make another one. I swear that’s it. I guess [coach Mike Brown] took offense to it and he put me on the bench."  “I guess don’t take 3’s is the message. But I’m going to take some more,” Bynum said. “I just hope it’s not the same result. I hope that I make it.”
  • Bynum has missed 160 games in his first 6 season already.  Avg 26 missed games a season.  Oh yeah Mr Reliable. 
  • This is only his second season averaging double digit rebounds.  One big year does not a superstar make. 
It is time for the Lakers to pull the trigger on a trade of Bynum.  Hopefully it will be for Dwight Howard, who's biggest issues is he wants out of Orlando.  Something's gotta give and it needs to be the Lakers.  This kid isn't ready to be the man.

Speaking of Brooklyn, why the hell is Gasol standing out at the 3-point line.  I mean if he is going to do that, why not the top of the key.  He can't shoot 3's so he is no threat in the corner like I keep seeing him stand.  The top of the key would be fine for post entry passes, but he is frequently in the corner.
