BYNUM RETURN SAVES LAKERS (AP)

Andrew Bynum's return to the Lakers has proved to be all that was needed to raise the team from frustration to championship caliber. "He's been even better than we expected," noted Lamar Odom. "He's so big that when we go to the bench we just bring him in to play one on five. He's just way bigger than the guys on the other teams."

He has provided the expected inside punch, allowing the tired Pau Gasol to cut back to his playing time to a more comfortable 12 minutes a game. A more rested Gasol has even found time to trim his formerly scroungy looking beard.

More surprising has been his perimeter play. "Farmar and Vujacic were struggling. Drew had time during his rehab to work on an his ball handling and outside shooting, " said baby-headed assistant coach Brian Shaw, who worked with Bynum during his rehab. The surprising result has turned one of the Lakers weaknesses into a strength, with Bynum running the point in relief of veteran Derek Fisher and hitting a number of key threes in closing minutes of playoff games.


Head coach Phil Jackson has appreciated his return to the bench. "Sometimes when other teams go on runs I get kind of mesmerized and forget I'm the coach. Drew has a great basketball mind and reminds me to call timeouts and other head coaching type stuff like that. "

Kobe Bryant summed up the impact of Bynum's return. "Without him we could barely beat the Clippers. Now we are the greatest team in history. I'm glad he came back. His two 100 point games against Boston really helped. "

Bynum is currently helping the league office write schedules for 2009-2010. According to inside sources, the Lakers will not face Memphis next year.
