After moving on from Dwight Howard's decision to head to Houston, the Dallas Mavericks have started to seriously pursue Andrew Bynum, sources have said. The Mavs will proceed with caution due to the knee condition that caused the 7-foot, 285-pound Bynum to miss all of his lone season with the Philadelphia 76ers, the sources said. The evaluation process of the 25-year-old Bynum's problematic knees will be "exhaustive," according to the sources. The Mavs consider their medical staff, headlined by Team USA athletic trainer Casey Smith and Dr. T.O. Souryal, to be the best in the league. The medical staff, which played a significant role in getting Tyson Chandler s career back on track after two injury-riddled seasons, could be a recruiting asset in the pursuit of Bynum.

Whoever goes after Bynum and gets him wins tremendously provided they use language to protect themselves against his knees.
You're right, someone that has potential to be a great center in a league devoid of them shouldn't be signed.
He's had potential for almost 10 years. He's never going to fulfill it. Someone will sign him, but he won't be great.
Somebody who is as injury prone as he is, shouldn't be signed. Somebody with his mental issues that he has, shouldn't be signed. Not for $10 mill. League minimum, yeah. Not $10 mill
Having said that, the Mavs are still going to have to try to land him because they couldn't get Paul, Howard, or any of the other FAs that they wanted that have signed with other teams.
