Mike Brown intends to play Andrew Bynum around 34 minutes per game this season, up from 27.8 last year. "I feel good right now," Bynum said. "Both my knees feel very good. I don't have any swelling." The question is whether Bynum can stay healthy playing so many minutes in a condensed schedule, so we're tempering our excitement about his increased minutes. Given L.A.'s lack of frontcourt depth, though, he's going to play all he can handle.
