Andrew Bynum vs Future Hall of Famer
Hello, fellow FB&Gers. Kurt has given up trying to figure out why the site’s spam filter hates me so much, and has given me moderating privileges in order to let my posts through easier. Yes, my handle is The Dude Abides. As one might guess, my favorite comedy is The Big Lebowski, and I like […]
Bynum is Back! And Other Thoughts
Andrew Bynum is back and will start his first game against the Denver Nuggets (I think Chris Broussard is one of the more reliable reporters out there, so I’ll go with this as real). On one hand this is a great place to start, a team that does not possess a big body interior threat, […]
Bynum Injury Update (and a little Super Bowl)
UPDATE: Bynum has had the MRI, but results are not expected until later tonight according the all-knowing Mike Trudell at the official Lakers blog.

Bynum and Other Thoughts
The biggest news for the Lakers recently is that Andrew Bynum sat down with the local media and said that he is 100% healthy and ready to go. A few quotes from the stories: “I can’t wait, man. I think I’m the only guy who wants the season to start, like, tomorrow, you know what […]
Bynum’s Deal
This topic came up in a series of emails with Reed yesterday — how much do the Lakers pay Andrew Bynum? The baseline of the market has been set with the deals for Bogut (six years possibly worth $72 million with incentives) and Okafor (six years, $72 million). It makes sense that their deals are […]
