    The curse of the Bynumo...when we threw him away for nothing, our misery began. Happy birthday big guy! Oh what could have been.

    He was a beast in his day. Imagine young Drew with this young squad.

    Russell - Clarkson - Ingram - Randle - Bynum
    That'd be sick.

    Call me crazy, but I think if you could hypothetical add a healthy prime Bynum to this current team, we'd be a top 5 team already.

    If Bynum had been healthy, I wonder what would have happened. Really different path for this team. No Howard, no Nash for sure.

    I think if Howard didn't tank in LA, this would have been another amazing steal. Trade Bynum on one leg and get the best C in the league.

    Sadly it all turned negative for us and for Philly. If Bynum would have never been hurt, he was already a beast in 2008.

    The problem with Bynum wasn't only health but also mental. He wasn't as focused on basketball as he needed to be in order to be great.

    Well at least we got two championship runs out of him. Definitely was huge in 2010. Kept Perkins off Pau and the Lakers used their size to wear that team down. One of the best victories in Lakers history.

    Maybe even no Pau, unless that was already in the works. But it made that need for Pau even more dire when Bynum was starting to blossom that year.

    happy birthday big man. crazy to think he's still only 29

    had it not been for the injuries he would have been one of, if not the best big man in the game to this day

    Even with injuries, Bynum was still probably the best big up until we traded him.
