Why Signing Andrew Bynum was a good move by Pacers

Andrew Bynum is going to spend the next several weeks getting into shape and waving a towel for the NBA-leading Indiana Pacers, who have no plans to rush him into action after signing him last week.

Is that a plan that makes sense?

In this interview with Jody MacDonald of CBS Sports radio, we debated that question -- and I weighed in with the opinion that it is better to have a third option at center behind Roy Hibbert and Ian Mahinmi than to sit back and watch Bynum sign elsewhere -- perhaps even with an Eastern Conference contender that the Pacers might meet in the playoffs.

Jody Mac, because of his Philadephia roots, did not exactly agree.

It make for a lively back and forth as part of an around-the-NBA discussion. Enjoy.
