“What we’ve got to realize is this: We don’t know what life is like with him yet,” Hawes said. “In the mean time, we’ve been together for six weeks with his new group. We’ve had time to jell and mesh. We’ve got to hold down the fort until he gets back.”

Around the Sixers’ locker room, they love Bynum’s presence. From afar, they could never tell. “When he was out in LA, he didn’t get a lot of the individual attention,” Hawes said. “Maybe it was more about Kobe [Bryant], or [Pau] Gasol, or someone else, but we’ve seen here what a great personality he has, what a teammate he’s going to be for us.”
