Andrew Bynum is inching closer toward a return. What's the best-case scenario for the Sixers? A healthy Bynum plays 15-20 games down the stretch, carries the team to the playoffs and re-signs in the offseason? As crazy as this sounds, it seems like the Sixers would be better off if Bynum didn't play, giving them an excuse not to re-sign him or making him more affordable if they do want to re-sign him. --Trevor C., Philadelpahia
I'm sure they would like to see Bynum play in Philadelphia for an extended stretch of games, Trevor, and that's what Bynum should want as well. His return should have nothing to do with trying to lead the 76ers back into the playoffs. They're 10 games under .500, they're already absent Jason Richardson for the rest of the year and they can't ask a guy who is worried about his future to also carry a team.
The more optimism Bynum can create for his future, the better for him. He'll look to re-sign in Philadelphia because (1) the Sixers are a big-market team that can afford the financial risk of his knees, and (2) they traded Andre Iguodala in his prime to reinvent themselves around a franchise center. They've yet to provide any public hint that they're interested in walking away from Bynum.
One rival team executive projects that the 76ers will negotiate language into Bynum's contract that provides them with some level of protection -- maybe a team option after two years, based on incentives -- in case his knees fail him. It will be worthwhile for them to continue to manage Bynum's health in order to derive the benefits of his potential. The worst alternative would be for the Sixers to let go of a 25-year-old with a sophisticated low-post game as well as All-Star and championship experience -- and then watch him thrive elsewhere.
As long as the Sixers believe Bynum can salvage his career, then it makes sense for them to maintain their investment in him. "But if they don't sign him," the rival executive said, "then we'd all better run the other direction. Because they'll know his situation better than everybody.''
76人隊應該留住他
否則，他們換了AI到丹佛沒有回報.
