The Cavs’ gamble on Andrew Bynum isn’t exactly paying off. The big man started off the year by saying that he isn’t the same player that he used to be and it was evident in his output. Lately, Bynum’s motivation has been called into question and the Cavs opted to suspend him indefinitely. His suspension technically only held him out of Saturday’s game against the Celtics and he’ll continue to get paid, but he has been excused from all team activities until he’s released or traded. Bynum reportedly wants to go to a contender and it seems possible that playing for a winner could restore his fire. Here’s more from the week that was..
