It isn’t a talent issue with Bynum, it is an attitude issue.

Dwight Howard for all his whining and backstabbing, plays hard pretty much every night. You don’t see him mailing in any games. You can’t say the same for Bynum.

From game to game you just don’t know mentally if he is all there. He doesn’t appear to love playing basketball, it isn’t a passion for him, it is just something to do.

Lakers have a $16 million option on him and he is their prize trade piece. If he doesn’t step up to an elite level, Kobe Bryant last years will be wasted.

What will they do?
