The Los Angeles Times' Mike Bresnahan reports that the Lakers and their young center have finally got into bed together: "The Lakers and Andrew Bynum have agreed in principle on a four-year contract extension worth about $58 million, keeping their center of the future in the fold through the 2012-13 season, according to sources familiar with the negotiations who would not speak publicly. Bynum, who will make $2.8 million this season, will earn close to $42 million over the first three years of his contract extension. The fourth year will be a team option for about $16 million." So, $58 million paired with a shorter deal. Good compromise, L.A.. Both sides should be happy with it. Well, as long as Bynum stays away from all low-powered motorized vehicles, of course.
