Here's a fun question. If we don't pick the option, does another team sign him, or does he go overseas?

If we don’t pick up the option, we still have him this season. How that goes for him will determine what happens when he becomes a UFA next summer.OE32 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 04, 2018 2:01 pmOr any other Suns forum, really.Superbone wrote: ↑Thu Oct 04, 2018 1:01 pmSomebody else has been reading our board:

Sorry, I must have misread the question. I think he goes overseas.

We’re not committed to Anderson. The minutes are there for Bender’s taking if he earns them.

It originated when they would describe themselves as being on "Waiter's Island" as they felt they were the only extant Dion Waiter's believers during his... less encouraging days.

I'm still on the island, but I've got my boat ready. I'm not going to change my take on him after 2 preseason games.

He's got the yips. He's got to get out of his head. There's an Athletic article about him today too.

Re: Suns Preseason News 2018
I think they already told Bender they are not picking up his option.
They would rather have the $6 mil for free agency.

As one of the few inhabitants left on Bender Island I'm looking at putting my beach front property up for sale. What everyone said about him was right. Too timid to find success. It's Zarko redux. Such a shame because it was a tantalizing mix of skills but he didn't put any of it together.

Re: Suns Preseason News 2018
We took the hole four years, and a summer to give up on Alex FREAKING Len. I’ll gladly take all your titles in the island and wait out the season to see if Koskokov can save this kid’s soul. And I’m noticing lately that this is not so much of an island, moreso like a village.
Or perhaps some people are posing like supporters leaving the ship?
People can’t call themselves as living in Bender’s island if only writes about him to talk about selling their stock, can they?

Re: Suns Preseason News 2018
I've been the board's biggest supporter of Bender. I've been preaching a wait & see approach for 2 years. It's just he hasn't gotten better at anything in 2 full seasons. That's worrisome.Aztec Sunsfan wrote: ↑Sat Oct 06, 2018 10:30 amWe took the hole four years, and a summer to give up on Alex FREAKING Len.
