拜纳姆，欢迎你到丹佛来。
上周杰克逊正式宣布了拜纳姆整季报销的噩耗。他说，拜纳姆在今年春天回归是一件很遥远的事。这听起来似乎是件顺理成章的事，在湖人的记事本上，这已经降到了次级事件。
拜纳姆本赛季打了35场比赛——奥尼尔离开之后最重要的35场。
五月份科比吵着要交易拜纳姆，1月13号他受伤后科比却为他焦急。从咆哮到尊重，从交易到一个总冠军竞争者。一切就像桃乐茜在《OZ女巫》中那样，没有比家更好的地方。
拜纳姆受伤的晚上科比说了一句话，只有10个字，却惊呆了在场的所有人，湖人的更衣室又现温暖。
“有拜纳姆，我们就能拿总冠军。”
就是这样。
“科比看到了他今年的进步。”杰克逊说的是拜纳姆。“当然，训练营刚开始时我们遇到了一些困难。”
“但是之后，我们打出了5年来的最好表现。”
这就是湖人明亮的未来：没有拜纳姆他们一样能赢。
我的意思不是说没有拜纳姆的湖人就没有损失，这个损失是很大的。两场比赛下来，掘金队总能肆虐于湖人的内线，甚至于两场比赛对方共抢下34个进攻篮板。
拜纳姆的篮板和盖帽都排在联盟前十位，所以当他归队时，篮板问题就可以解决。
11月的前10场比赛，拜纳姆场均还可拿下11分11板，12月则有13分9板，1月份受伤之前的6场比赛这个数据则是19分13板。
艰苦的赛程之下，湖人依旧拿到24胜11负。
也许你还记得，开季前科比并不处于自己的最好状态，他还吵着要交易到芝加哥。直到开幕战他才重新出现在湖人赛场上。
科比是个求胜欲极强的人，所以如果是他想做的事，就没有人可以阻止他。
只是，如果是他不想做的事，别人也无法强迫他，因为他的心思，早已指向远方。
湖人以20胜15负的战绩开局，在拜纳姆受伤到加索尔加盟的这段时间，湖人4胜5负。如果拜纳姆本赛季没有爆发，他们也许会以19胜25负的战绩结束之后的比赛，位列西部第十无缘季后赛。
当科比得知加索尔加盟时，他的表现让所有人都印象深刻。如果湖人本赛季没有进入季后赛，有加索尔的湖人能留住科比吗？
不过还好，这种情况并没有发生。
我一直在和身边的人争论，但是我绝对不会改变自己的立场。
有一件事我永远也不会忘记，那就是加内特的朋友Mychal Thompson把拜纳姆带到明尼苏达去时，拜纳姆正好和加内特站在一起，他和加内特说拜纳姆的成就甚至会超过Robert Parish。
“CHIEF？”Thompson尖叫到，“CHIEF？”
当然，Parish是名人堂成员，而拜纳姆不过只打过78次首发。
有趣的是，虽然杰克逊一直看好拜纳姆，但是他自己也没有想到拜纳姆会成长的如此迅速甚至于影响到了科比（或者是杰克逊）的职业生涯。
去年，当拜纳姆顶替受伤的夸梅·布朗首发出场时，他的表现确实绚烂。我曾问过杰克逊他有没有想过用拜纳姆去交换加内特。
“加内特多大了？”杰克逊安静的反问了一句。
他没有给出明确的回答，但是看湖人现在的表现以及科比的开朗，我们就明白他们没有为当初放弃用拜纳姆和奥多姆交易加内特的选择后悔。
当传出加内特被交易至波士顿时，估计没有人想到这会成为湖人更衣室里一个值得庆祝的日子。
就像你注意到的一样，湖人的变化要比凯尔特人大的多。

Bynum's not here, but he made it all possible for Lakers
DENVER -- Thanks for coming, Andrew.
Andrew Bynum's season effectivelyended last week with Phil Jackson calling his chance of returning thisspring "remote," which sounded so inevitable, it ran as a secondaryitem in Lakers notebooks.
Bynum's season lasted 35 games -- the most important 35 for the Lakers since Shaquille O'Neal left.
Between Kobe Bryant's rant abouttrading Bynum in May ("I mean, Jason Kidd, c'mon!") and Jan. 13 whenBynum's season was halted, he had turned Bryant around, from rage atmanagement to respect for its judgment, from demanding a trade to ateam that could win a title to realizing, like Dorothy in "The Wizardof Oz," there was no place like home.
The night after Bynum was lost,Bryant ended months of cool detachment at their surprising start withthe 10 words that meant it was morning again in Lakerdom:
"We're a championship-caliber team with him in the lineup."
And so they were.
"Kobe recognized what his advance wasthis year," Jackson says of Bynum. "Obviously, there was a little trialand tribulation for a period of time we went through in training camp.
"But after that -- hey, this is a facet of our game that we haven't had in five years. There it is."
Here's how bright the Lakers' future is: They're still favored to win the West with Bynum gone.
Not that they don't miss -- a lot --what he would bring after two games of seeing the Denver Nuggets strolldown the lane and lay the ball up when they're not jumping over theLakers' backs to take 34 offensive rebounds in two games.
Bynum was a top-10 rebounder and shot blocker, so the day they get him back, all that's over.
Coming off the bench for the first 10games, Bynum still averaged 11 points and 11 rebounds in November,taking it up to 13-9 in December and 19-13 in the first six games ofJanuary before going down against Memphis.
The Lakers were 24-11 at that point, despite a difficult early schedule.
You may remember Bryant wasn't in thebest frame of mind, trying to put together a trade to Chicago right upto the opener before resigning himself to starting the season here.
Bryant has an iron will, so if he's going the right way, there is little in nature that can stop him.
Unfortunately, when he's not, there'salso little that can stop him, and at that point the arrow wasdefinitely pointing to "elsewhere."
If Bynum hadn't improved and theLakers had started, say, 15-20 (they closed last season 16-27 as Bynumhit the wall) and had then gone 4-5, as they did before acquiring PauGasol on Feb. 1, they would have been 19-25, No. 10 in the West, 5 1/2games out of the No. 8 playoff spot.
Impressed as Bryant would have beenat getting Gasol, would that have been enough to keep Bryant if theyhad missed the playoffs?
Let's just say the Lakers are glad they never had to find out.
I then spent months arguing with everyone I knew, not that this represented any change for me.
The one I'll never forget waswith Mychal Thompson, a friend of Kevin Garnett's who would havecarried Bynum to Minnesota on his shoulders to get Garnett, telling himthat Bynum would be better than Robert Parish.
"CHIEF?" shrieked Thompson. "CHIEF?"
Of course, Parish is in the Hall of Fame and Bynum does have only 78 career starts.
Interestingly, Jackson, who neverthought Bynum would happen fast enough to affect Bryant's (orJackson's) career here, always recognized Bynum's upside.
Early last season, with Bynum juststarting to show flashes starting in place of the injured Kwame Brown,I asked Jackson if he would trade Andrew Bynum for Garnett.
"How old is Garnett?" Jackson mused.
He never did answer, but with theLakers' preoccupation with Bryant's window, they did offer Bynum andLamar Odom for Garnett before Minnesota opted for the Boston package.
It never occurred to anyone when thenews broke that Garnett was going to Boston that this might one day becelebrated as a holiday in Lakerdom.
As you may have noticed, things can change fast around here.
