LA Lakers Jim Buss: You Don’t Know Diddly! Bynum, Brown For Carmelo, Lawson NOW!

THE VECCHIO FACTOR SAYS...

Yes, I'm saying it, Andrew "Big Baby" Bynum is a BUST!  And his benefactor, LA Lakers VP, Jim Buss, has NO clue!!

In his 6th season, Bynum's regular season career averages are 23.7 minutes per game (mpg), 10.4 points per game (ppg), and 6.7 rebounds per game (rpg).

Sources say that both Kobe Bryant and head coach Phil Jackson are in favor of a deal for Anthony.

What everyone who reads this article should know is that beneath the guarded, secretive, Laker Kingdom, there exists a power struggle between players, coaches, Jim Buss, his sister Jeanie, and Laker management..

Bottom line, Mitch Kupchak's hands are tied. Knowing him like I do, I would bet that, after 6 years, he might just have ha...
