My answer to your question is their value is similar - and both much lower than the value of a legitimate centre.

No prob...
I agree.
Re: Bynum. Every time you see him you see the Size and his ability to do certain things with ease, conversely struggling with areas you'd expect a HS player to struggle with, 5 years in. However, the one thing I'm wary of is his Knee. He's actually been under the knife and to have that at such a young age should scare any GM. If he can withstand the rigors of the game and avoid further damage to the pre-existing areas then he could fulfill a lot of the potential that he displays. That's why I think his value is not even close to Bosh's whom still could potentially sign with the home team ifthey make the playoffs and a little noise there to boot.
Perhaps the LA trade would include Larry Jr. errrr... AMorrison's dead weight contract which gives the Lake some cap room. Surely they'd consider that an asset as addition by subtraction. Perhaps, Amo gets some burn and can shake the hate a lil'.
Ergo: Calderon(8.5), AJ(4)/Reggie Evans(5) ..., future picks. To LA for Bynum(12.5) and Morrison(5.6)/Vujacic(5.0). 12.5/13.5 - 17.6/18.1. I think the picks might have to be a first(top5 protected) and a couple seconds but I would make that deal in a heartbeat. Otherwise, I think the cap relief and picks work for LA's future. Then, Calderon works for them right now, Aj could be a nice piece for them as well. Evans might eventually get healthy and give them something we didn't get, tough minutes.
It's all EA sports but you never know. I just wouldn't be happy with bynum for bosh.
Moon: pardon me, you didn't say crappy calderon, perhaps that was my freudian slip. Calderon Instantly becomes their starter so that gives that team a different look but they don't lose a starter altogether. Perhaps it's a look that will get another distributor on the floor for a team that is having their star throw everyone else under the bus in LALA land. Dfish and Farmar aren't distributors. Kobe is the only one they have. Their team could be better and I think they could get more for Bynum, but that is a team I would offer JC to if i were BC.
