Lakers Extend Bynum

The Los Angeles Times is reporting that the Los Angeles Lakers has signed center Andrew Bynum to a four year contract extension worth $58 million. The move would keep Bynum in a Laker uniform through the 2012-13 season.

This is a great move for the Lakers as good young bigmen are hard to come by. Bynum missed much of the second half of last season due to injury. With the inside force of Bynum paired up with all world talent Kobe Bryant, the Lakers will be a force in the Western Conference for a long time to come.
