Basketball commentators have been tweeting nonstop about Andrew Bynum‘s suspension, and reported apathy towards basketball. Bill Simmons believes a trade is in the works.
1 - Expect Bynum to miraculously regain his love for basketball once he gets away from this messy Cavs situation. He has an end game here.

3 - From what I hear, Bynum wants to end up with Heat or Clips. But he'd have to be released + Cavs want to trade him (see @WindhorstESPN).

4 - Also hearing he'd consider Boston - Celts have expirings/assets to get him (if they wanted him). His ideal teams are Miami/Clips though.

6 - Last note... This is super-important because a semi-healthy Bynum could swing the title race if he lands with Heat or Clips. Stay tuned.

Maybe Skip Bayless’ take is what matters most.
As I reported on air - from source who saw the MRI - Bynum's knees are shot. Degenerative. Won't get better. Neither will his attitude.

Simmons believes Bynum will have a better attitude once he is traded to a title contender. Skip believes Bynum’s knees and mindset are both in bad shape, which may not help a title contender.
I tend to agree with Skip because how can you expect someone to fight through knee problems if they have a bad attitude? It will be interesting to see how this scenario plays out. What do you think will happen?
