Say Wha?

I read the story about the Nuggets trading Melo to the Lakers and I am confused.

Not so much that they Nugs are gonna move him somewhere besides the Knicks. Really, is Wilson Chandler, Corey Brewer and a 1 enough to get anyone excited? No way.

But why, why does anybody think Andrew Bynum is worth anything at all?

The man cannot play basketball without getting hurt. He runs like Ralph Sampson with the blown out knees. He is the love child of Greg Oden and Yao Ming.

I defy anybody to actually watch him run up and down the court and tell me he can man the middle for the next five years.

I know Denver feels like they need to get some kind of name to replace Melo while the team rebuilds but Bynum isn't going to placate angry fans. He's gonna play 3 games, tear a quad and the fans will turn on him. Denver would be far better off getting nothing but expirings and draft picks than taking back Bynum and hoping to build around him.

Maybe the best deal you can get is a rent a year offer from the Mavericks, maybe it's Wilson Chandler. That seems like a sad commentary on the situation Melo has put Denver in but that's the reality. If the Nugs are smart, they take it and go and hope for a lockout.
