See why I always blame the Clippers owner? he is the constant idiot in the franchise.
The only reason why they are doing better is cause the NBA force them to spend certain amount of money in salaries, so they got some talent.

This a bit old and out dated now cause of the Lakers trade but I believe it falls down into the conversation we are having about Bynum and Howard.
Check out the interview with James Worthy, I like what worthy says, that's exactly how I felt about Bynum overall.

and for those of you concerend about him leaving...
“Our feeling was, no matter what anybody said, let’s just get him to Los Angeles and we’ll take our chances,” said Kupchak.*“In fact, in all my years there’s only one player who left Los Angeles, and I’m still not sure why he did it, and that’s A.C. Green.”- Mitch Kupchak
Green would eventually return to help Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant win their first titles together in 2000.
i aint worried :)

“When you’re able to keep Pau and get Howard I know I’m ecstatic, I know Jim Buss is and I know Coach [Mike Brown] is. When we told him yesterday after we had the conference call I told Mike I thought we have a deal”
“He looked at me and asked ‘Who we’re getting?’”
“I said ‘Dwight.’”
“He said ‘Who is going out?’, and I said ‘Andrew’”
“He said ‘That’s all?’”
“I said, of course,“Josh, Christian, draft picks.’”
“He said ‘No Pau?’”
“I said ‘No Pau.’”
“And he jumped out of his chair and hugged me"

Just listened to Dr. Robert Klapper, chief of orthopedic surgery at Cedar Sinai and ESPN 710's resident expert.
Some highlights:
1. From an orthopedic surgery standpoint he would much rather have Dwight's back than Andrew's knees.
2. The knees have a much more "chronic injury" issue than Dwight's back which is an "acute injury" that can be repaired with very little sequelae.
3. After surgery, you can't play basketball and engage in any heavy physical activity for 4 months.
Why?
Because the injury is a disc herniation: a small amount of the nucleus pulposus or the "shock absorber" of the disc got squeezed out. It is a VERY SMALL amount. You get rid of the "squirted out" material with a 1 inch incision under a microscope.
There is a 5-10 percent chance that returning to physical activity too early could herniate more material. That's obviously not good because you've reherniated the disc and have to remove more of the extruded disc.
Bear in mind that Dwight was fully recovered, pain free, and ready to work out probably a few weeks after surgery (it is only 1 inch incision after all). BUT returning to physical activity too early gets you that 5-10 percent chance. Keep in mind that means there is a 90 to 95% chance that if he came back after only a month or so he would be fine.
But he is Dwight Howard and so they are being super, super cautious.
4. He had surgery 04/20/2012 which means he should be able to resume training, weights, basketball activity, etc around 08/20/2012 if everything goes according to schedule and he feels no pain, etc.
5. Per Dr. Klapper, based on that schedule Dwight should be ready for opening night (10/30/2012). He'll have 2 months to get his conditioning back. Again assuming he recovers as expected and at his age and conditioning there should be NO REASON for any setbacks.
6. Dwight will ALWAYS know he had surgery, he'll ALWAYS feel just a little different. That's unavoidable. BUT that feeling doesn't affect his ability to do what he needs to do. Per Dr. Klapper as fans we should be able to tell NO DIFFERENCE in the way he plays. He should have essentially NO difference in his skills, athleticism, etc.
7. By way, reading some medical papers addressing the effects of laminectomy on NBA athletes, those papers support Dr. Klapper's assertion that Dwight should be back as good as new.
8. That should answer the question why teams are still willing to kill themselves to get Dwight Howard despite this "back injury" issue. It's a non-issue moving forward. Also why he and his agent are very comfortable not extending and waiting for the end of the season to sign a new max contract. They know, all-world BEAST 3x DPOY Howard is coming back this year. With Stephen A interview, Dwight pointed out that he absolutely felt he could have won a 4th straight DPOY if he had been fully healthy. He's ready to come back and remind everyone who he is on the basketball floor. Trust me, he may be smiling but this whole Dwightmare did affect him and he's going to playing with an edge, especially on defense.
The most dominant defensive force in the NBA basically feels disrespected and the league has NO IDEA what is coming down on them from the 5 slot.

Well according to the Medical thesis You just read there is very little sequelae, with a 1 inch incision under a microscope I doubt there ripping taking place Sammy.
But You know the media they will do or say whatever to get people to listen to them.

Drafting is base on having good scouts, Clippers owner didn't pay for scout he left it to people not qualify for scouting, how are You expect good drafting.
I always say no matter what it always comes down to the owner not putting money for anything.
