Cavs offering Bynum 2 for 24 with a team option for year 2. Sounds about right. It's not my money. I've never been a Bynum fan, but his hair was great last year.

Mavs may be the second worst team in the league next year. I hate what they're doing to Dirk in his final few years.

Yeesh, he'd be a terrible fit for the Heat. Also, it'd be hilarious if he turns down 2/24 in Cleveland for a one-year at the MLE.

Pekovic signing a 4 year $50 million deal. That's more than I thought he'd go for.
Also, I'd sign Ron Artest. I think.

Pretty obvious that Bynum doesn't want to go to Cleveland, but they're offering him the most money.

Well ok then. Bynum it is.
Boy this team is really missing a small forward....

Kirilienko signs with Brooklyn for just $3.1?? There's definitely something shady under the table happening with him and Prokorhov. That's a hell of a team they have there all of a sudden.

From Grantland...damn.
Cavs
There's been a lot of praise for the calculated risk the Cavs are taking with Andrew Bynum. I live with a Sixers fan, who sent me this Bynum quote from December when I asked about his health: "There's nothing I can do about it. It's arthritis in the knees. Cartilage is missing. That's not going to regrow itself. Maybe in the future, next three to five years, there may be something out there that really does help. "
Uhh … Good luck with that, Cleveland.
The Bynum move fits with every other move the Cavs have made recently, including their Jarrett Jack/Anthony Bennett decisions this summer, Dion Waiters last June, Tristan Thompson in 2011, etc. The notion that this was "smart" for the Cavs fits with every other "smart" move the Cavs have made over the past few years. It's defensible, but probably not actually smart.
Grade: D

Eh, I've never been a fan, but with a team option for next season - not to mention possibly Bynum's last real chance in the NBA - I'll take it. I do think that people are being way too optimistic at the prospect of getting more than 50 games out of Bynum.

Hard to disagree - though, I'd have put them ahead of the Wizards. So many injury concerns. I mean, if Kyrie, Varajao, Bennett, and Bynum are healthy for ~2/3 of the season each then they can be a 5 seed, maybe even a 4. If multiple guys miss significant stretches then they could be out of the playoffs.
