All about the Bynumins

In the minds of most observers, there wasn’t much question that a deal would get done, only when and for how much. Thursday, we learned the answer as Andrew Bynum and the Lakers reached an agreement on a contract extension that will keep him in LA for at least three more seasons, likely a fourth if all goes well.

On every level, from improvements on the roster (Gasol for Kwame, Fish for Smush, Ariza for Mo Evans- no disrespect to Mo, whom I like as a player), to growth from within (Bynum, Sasha, Farmar),…
