Bubbles' official "Fuck y'all, Will Bynum owns" thread

Quote:

Sue (Huntington Woods, Mich.): I’ve seen a few comments on a Will Bynum nickname. My daughter called in to “Off the Court” the other night suggesting Will Bynumite. I think it works! How realistic is it to think he will still be effective in the playoffs?

Langlois: We’ll see, Sue, but he’s not going to get any slower between now and then, so the thing that makes him most effective – his dribble penetration – figures to be there for him. With Will, it’s a matter of making good decisions once he beats his man and the help defense responds. That’s going to be a challenge if the Pistons draw one of the big three – Cleveland, Boston or Orlando, all elite defensive teams statistically.

Quote:

Ali (Ann Arbor): I think I was right about Stuckey’s problem being picking up his dribble. After the Knicks game last week, Rip said, “He made plays and kept his dribble.” As for Will Bynum, I think Bynumite is the best fit for him because his game is like unleashing dynamite on the defense.

Langlois: Another vote for Bynumite, which has now taken the lead over “The Genius” and “The Thrill.” You’re right that Stuckey sometimes picks up his dribble too soon. It’s all part of the learning curve for a young point guard.

He has a fucking nickname already!

So did The Janitor, and the Human Victory Cigar.

You can give him a reach around if you like it doesn't change the fact that Bynum has played less than 1000 minutes in the NBA and isn't ready to be annoited by anyone.

I'm all for loving this cat and praising his amazing play/story and all that warm and fuzzy stuff but can we please deal with reality?

Stuckey is the starting PG, will not be traded for Fairy Tale Big and will not be pushed aside because some minimum wage earning got fucking hot for a few games.

I'm tryin' real hard here to be reasonable but some of y'all are fucking out of this world, bat shit crazy about this kid.

I just read something elsewhere that referred to some comments made by Stuckey about Bynum getting more calls from the refs than he does.

Anybody know anything about this?

Stuckey hasn't been getting any calls, FWIW. Needs to fall down more, I guess.

If Stuckey is the Annointed One, should Bynum be the Successor?

I want to see the actual quote and the context if anybody has it.

I just think he can start and handle the pg position like a true pg. Thats all. If thats the case then I'd be willing to trade Stuck if the right deal came about. Not bat shit crazy about him, I just think he showed he can start homes.

I'd feel the same way if a young big pushed AJ. Then I'd consider trading AJ. Thats all.

We need to continue to rebuild. We need to bring in some players. I'm not sure cap space alone is going to do that. We need some players that we are willing to give up to make it happen, imo.

See, Tahoe - tht's where we disagree.

You think that because Bynum "pushed" Stuckey that you now hae a reason to trade Hot Rod.

I don't see it that way - I wouldn't shop Stuckey this off-season unless I had a proven, better PG option waiting in the wings. Bynum is not proven. He hasn't played enough.

Like I said it's great he's doing so well, but he hasn't even played well all season. I wanna wait and see what he can do next season before I'm ready to throw Stuckey under the bus.

Gotcha...I see what you're saying.

re: bolded text Part of my confusion is why we felt like Stuck proven. He hadn't played that much either. We traded away CBill cuz of an unproven PG in Stuck. So if we did it once, why couldn't we do it again? The difference in talent between CBill and Stuck is larger than Stuck to Bynum.

Anyway, hopefully JoeD can just work the cap space into a player or players to get some interior D again.

Well, I didn't trade Billups. I didn't annoint Stuckey.

IF I was in charge right now I would not be looking to deal Stuckey unless I had a proven PG waiting in the wings.

I don't know what Joe is gonna do - he could fucking trade Bnum for all I know.

I just know that if I was in charge nether of those guys would be going anywhere, I wouldn't sign a free agent PG and unless some college stud was the best player available wouldn't draft a PG either.

We have our PG's - use our picks and cash on other areas.

Pistons pick up option on Will Bynum
by A. Sherrod Blakely
Wednesday April 29, 2009, 11:14 AM
AUBURN HILLS - Well, there's at least one Detroit Piston who knows for sure he'll be back next season.

The Pistons announced this morning that the team has picked up the team option on guard Will Bynum for the 2009-2010 season that will pay the 26-year-old $825,497.

In what has been a disappointing season on so many levels, Bynum's play was one of the few brightspots.

Expected to see spot duty as the team's third point guard, Bynum played his way into the regular rotation as a key sub off the bench.

He appeared in 57 games (one start), and averaged a career-high 7.2 points per game. Bynum had a career-high 32 points against Charlotte this season, which included a franchise-record 26 points in the fourth quarter.

In Game 4 of the Cleveland series, Bynum scored a career playoff-high 22 points.

http://need4sheed.com/2009/07/qa-with-will-bynum.html

with Gordon as a backup Bynum wont even see 10 min a game...

Maybe it's just me, but whenever I see that name, "Wil Bynum", I think of the Disney Channel.

I dunno. I need coffee.

Maybe the fact that we signed Gordon and it's unlikely at this time that we trade Rip poor ol' Wil Bynomite is gonna get splinters in his ass.

I wonder if a team would give us a big for a Kwame/Bynum package?

Quick: what teams need a change of pace PG for the minimum?

Not sure why that's a broken record. If not Bynum at the minimum for the Pistons, then who?

I don't think we're really in a position to trade him, but I'll listen if you think otherwise.

Sorry, my bad. I interpreted your comment as a slam on the Pistons' PG position in general, which I see it was not.

Cool, no prob.

Having Bynumite at that price is one of the few things that I'm actually excited about with this team.

I just thought you were complaining about Stuckey, and I was like, "yeah, I know, we all know." Then I read closer.

Can't say as I blame ya. I do wear my heart on my sleeve a bit too much.

And we wouldn't want it any other way.

At least you don't go around shilling the organisation to people who already support the fucking organisation or call people woman.

How fucking lame is that?

I didn't think we had immature fuckers here anymore - this off-season proved me wrong.

Just look at who the 14th best PG in the NBA is:

He is who I thought he was !

Fuck yeah. Fuck'n A. Fuck yes. Fuck'n a right.

Quote:

After a summer of working out with noted fitness guru Tim Grover in Chicago — alongside NBA stars LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Gilbert Arenas — Bynum is eager to build upon last year’s success.

“The competition was amazing,” Bynum said Wednesday. “Just being there with guys like that. … When we’re playing pickup, I’m one of the best guys out there on the court every day. It just helped my confidence out extremely. It helped instill in me that I am as good as the top guards out there.”

He lost 15 lbs too

I read that there is video of Bynum stuffing one down on Wade but Adidas bought it and made everyone pretend it doesn't exist. I read it on Gilbert's blog.

Looks like Bynum had a better preseason game 1 than Stuckey...

DO WE HAVE TO START THIS ALREADY? :)

I was getting interrupted by shit and didn't have a chance to watch.

You'd never know it from the statline, but Stuckey had a +13 and Bynum a -13 for +/-. Hmmmm...

Quote:

Dalton (Manistee, Mich.): Do you think there is a chance Will Bynum is the starter at point guard before the end of the year?

Langlois: Dalton, I picked your question at random from a slew of similar questions that poured in after Monday night’s preseason opener, when Bynum probably was the standout for the Pistons, and more that have come in since then. And the answer is … not unless Rodney Stuckey’s career takes a turn nobody with the Pistons envisions. Bynum is perfectly suited to coming off the bench, where his size isn’t as much of an issue and he can play with full-bore intensity for six- or seven-minute spurts. I know many Pistons fans think it would be ideal if Bynum paired up with Rip Hamilton in the backcourt and Stuckey, who was terrific in Wednesday’s win over Milwaukee, played more alongside Ben Gordon so Stuckey could guard shooting guards with too much size for Gordon, but John Kuester is taking the approach that he’s going to let the other team worry more about matching up with the guard combinations he concocts and let the chips fall where they may. If there are situations where the Pistons get hurt with an undersized Bynum-Gordon backcourt, he can always adjust as needed. It also was intriguing Wednesday to see Kuester go with Gordon-Bynum-Stuckey together to start the fourth quarter – a combination he said he envisions using during the regular season at times, as well.

Awesome! Can we do that while having Tay run the point?

Sounds gimmiky to me.

That's right up Gla's alley.

I could see it being pretty good for small stretches in a game. A good distributor and scorer with 2 good scorers. Stuckey is kinda bigger for a guard, so it's not as much of a small-ball stretch as some teams run with at "small forward". Run it out there with 2 of our bigger guys in the middle, Big Ben and someone... I think it has potential.

^ Seriously, it sounds better than Tay running the show.

If Stuck, Gordon and Rip can hit their outside shots (which doesn't seem to be outside the realm of possibilities) it could be a good thing. Especially cuz we could just use stiffs underneath. We wouldn't need extremely athletic bigs type of thing.

Also, if I get a shot at using gimmiky, I'm doing it.
