Right now the Philadelphia 76ers are basically paying Andrew Bynum $16.1 million to go bowling and rock a ridiculous hairstyle. No one knows for sure when Bynum will return to the court but the Sixers may be willing to try and cut their losses by trading the superstar center. Read more after the jump.
According to Marc Spears of Yahoo Sports
One NBA general manager said the Sixers have been making trade inquiries about adding a starting caliber center.
“They got to be a little panicked now,” one GM said. “They could get a really interesting deal for him. I could see them doing that.”
Bynum is still experiencing left knee pain that has kept him from making his debut with the Sixers, but is hopeful he can return sometime in 2013. He becomes a free agent at the end of the season and was expected to command a five-year contract approaching $100 million. His health problems threaten to substantially reduce that number.
It’ll be interesting to see if the Sixers are able to move Bynum before the February trade deadline, especially as we wait for him to finally hit the court.
