"What character issues did the guy have, aside from being addicted to meth, coke, LSD, heroin, codeine, morphine, and PCP?"

I'm sure he keeps the locker room fun
Lol your a character. Bynum on the bobcats would've been your franchise player .
I suppose that would make him like Bryon Mullens

Sure, but one which falls into the bucket of 'things pertaining to personality which adversely affect one's capacity to perform as a professional basketball player.' Not unlike how Eddy Curry couldn't give up Quarter Pounders, but less deadly.
If we got Bynum from his rookie year on he would've been a complete fuck up. Dude had the best possible situation of all time for a young, talented center and manged to squander it all while burning every bridge in the process. Kobe making him work, Pau teaching him everything there is to know just by being an example (because we know this motherfucker doesn't study or watch tape for shit), Shaq to piss him and everyone else off - making him look like a better person by default, Phil to dip his brain in fish oil to keep it from skidding out of his ass.
Dude is a fuckless, unmotivated, anti-team twat. He would've been exactly like Mullens on the Bobcats.

Even when he was with LA he had motivation and immaturity issues, and he isn't the smartest player on the court. We can definitely use him against hibbert though.
Beasley is developing into a very fine player this season, I honestly didn't think id ever seen him be so determined. Very happy for him.
Bynum got injured end of story. With his first
Healthy season he averaged star numbers and was an all star. He got trained by Kareem and got better. Can't say the same for others.Any player drafted by the bobcats is fucked.
And you know who is an anti team twat? Kobe fracking bryant
Lol at pau tho, that's one way to discredit Kareem lol
However, even kareem couldnt turn this guy into an NBA player

Leonard may legit be scarred by his dad's murder when he was 16. Wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't want to deal with the media and shit all these years later

Bynum to the Heat is interesting to me. Not sure Mickey wants to pay that salary plus tax on the guy. I don't think he'd really be a problem for the locker room, because he wouldn't be that important.
Oh, in other Heat news:

Can we even afford him? Dude would probably want to get paid more than what the Heat can give....

I think the only way it would happen is for him to be waived, and take much less money.
I never really appreciated Posting & Toasting until now.
Since the Knicks love reassigning people anyway, and since they more resemble a tin-pot Communist dictatorship than a professional basketball organization, why not simply move Woodson to a position better suited to his talents?
Comrades, I give you: Mike Woodson, Minister of Knicks Propaganda.
Okay. Lets talk about Bynum. Because people definitely wanted him to get the ball rolling on his conditioning early since he really wasn't ready for the NBA game early on. As you can see, he's clearly giving one of the all-time greats his full attention.

But about the knee injury though. Which one are you referring to? The first time he hurt his knee?
The second?
Or the third time?
http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/articles/andrew_bynum_postponed_surgery_to_visit_world_cup_now_will_miss_training_camp/3289722
Or after his contract season, when all-stars really buckle down on their offseason conditioning to make sure that they have the best impact on their team over the next 4 seasons?
He's lucky to have been able to watch and learn from dealing with Pau directly at practice because he doesn't listen to anyone and he's 'lucky' to have had Kobe on his team as anyone can tell you that its easier to fall in with Kobe's way of business than it is to disagree with him - so his ass was at practice, on time. Phil sorted out all of his mental issues best he could. Dude was a fuck up in the best position that any young center could ask for. Shit, he wasn't even half the prospect that Mullens was coming out of high school lol. Byron might've been to an all-star game if he had the same start that Bynum did. Instead, he embraced the fuckery of 7ft 3pt shots at an early age, running from the ball on defense, and being a goon in his first 3 seasons. All Bynum had to do was not be an ungrateful, self-centered, lazy, asshole with all the talent in the world and the Lakers stay a contender for 5 more years instead of bloodletting Kobe for a chance at Jabari Parker.
Every Lakers fan knows this.

When you sign Nick Young to be your number one option, you aren't supposed to feel anymore.
I'd read all that shit if any of it were true. You really want me to go dig up the times when Bynum backled his knees? Only the bowling incident is trueOkay. Lets talk about Bynum.

I like it. More teams should use the DLeague like this, try to make it more a minor league.
You can't get more DLeague than the Atlantic division though

I swear this guy just smokes weed, listens to Drake and cries on social media all day.
L-O-L at his fans telling him to demand a trade. Bwaha
Knicks are gonna call up Jeremy Tyler from the D-League. If he didnt break his foot he most likely would have been on the roster since Day 1.
The whole Chris Smith thing was a ruse. JR just wanted his bro to get paid. Regardless of how the season was gonna go, CS would have been on the team until his check was guaranteed. This team man.

Dude, Bynum is moody as fuck and acts like a petulant child.
Has the greatest Laker center of all time (and arguably the best ever) personally coaching him and he basically said, "Fuck you, Cap, I got this."
Playing for the Lakers?
He would go all out when he felt like it and mail it in when he didn't. Did you watch post games with Bynum in losses when he mailed it in? He had an "oh well" attitude all the time.
Lakers-Age used to kill Bynum (and Odom) for that zero fucks given attitude.
Bynum is unmotivated but playing with a championship minded team and coach like Jackson shielded a lot of that shit from fully bubbling up to the surface. Now, that Bynum is "on his own" look what he has done...look at his behavior. He goes to Philly, has a huge press conference and gets a warm welcome from the fans--gets himself hurt bowling, never plays a single minute for them. Goes to Cleveland, has the same antics, a falling out with his coach.
The big difference is, if he had of started with the Cavs, he would have never developed to the degree he did and would have been out the league in 2 or 3 years in.
