What a doofus.

"Only Bynum never made it to the early January guarantee date for his full $12.5 million salary in 2013-14, and self-destructed. He stopped trying on the floor, and became a disruptive presence in practices. Before Bynum was thrown out of his final practice and suspended, he was shooting the ball every time he touched it in a practice scrimmage, sources said – from whatever remote part of the court he had caught the ball."

[Donoghus]

Well, if true, that's certainly better than one of the other rumors floating around the internet about why he was let go.

What an idiot.

[D.o.s.]

What a doofus.

I guess anything can turn into a job, but basketball is just so fun I have a really hard time picturing someone not wanting to play.

Also, if anyone wants a prime reason why Woj's writing can be unintentional comic gold, that's a great example.

Can you picture someone not wanting to play.... for Cleveland?  He knew his contract had an out so he became a jerk so they would cut him.  Now he's on arguably the best team in the league.  I am not supporting what he did by any means. But I think that explains it.

Speaking of unintentional comedy, here is the prognosis on when Bynum will be ready to play, from ESPN's fantasy "spin" section:

Moreover, Vogel prefers that Bynum have a strong grasp of Indiana's offensive system, before taking the court, meaning the process could be a lengthy one.

This guy got paid millions to do nothing for a year in Philly, to be a moron in Cleveland, and is now on a contending team still grabbing the paychecks... all for being 7 ft tall and having one good year on the Lakers. It really is pathetic and a real shame he has a job

Assuming this story is true, Bynum was still much better at basketball than Mark Blount.

What a doofus.

No points. No rebounds. Never forget! Blount.

[jaketwice]

Can you be retarded (sub 70 IQ) and play pro ball? Did that guy literally cost himself $6M just being a jerk? Serious question. Could he just so completely lack capacity?

[guava_wrench]

Reminds me of Justin Bieber. Way too full of himself.
