Gotta love those Lakers

[DJ's left nut]

Lakersground is my Lakers hangout as well.

They have a few insider sources and a lot of activity, it's a very knowledgable board.

As for Bynum, poor kid's still getting the rookie treatment. I've never seen so many cheap fouls called. Granted, his footwork isn't the greatest, so he earns most of his reach ins, but guys will take the body against him and it ALWAYS goes against Bynum even with the slightest contact.

In 2 years, when he's getting those calls in the paint and learning to keep his man in front of him better (he could actully learn a lot from Kwame as far as man defense goes, and teach Kwame a lot about help defense), he'll be an absolute force.

You figure Kobe has 3 years of 'elite' status left. With Odom, Kwame, Bynum, Farmar, Radmanovich and even Waltan and Turiaf, this team will be good for awhile.
