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

He becomes an Unrestricted FA in the off-season.

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.

I understand that.... to clarify, I'm talking about this summer.

EDIT: I'm not asking a factual question. I'm asking for your opinion.

So every Suns forum came up with "Bender Island" simultaneously?

Sorry, I must have misread the question. I think he goes overseas. I can't see anyone taking a chance on him without some level of success elsewhere.

He still has a whole season to find some level of success before he has to go looking for a job.

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

BSOTS has been using the phrase quite a bit the last couple weeks.

It's a Zach Lowe/Bill Simmons thing.

The island part or Bender in particular?

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.

Anyone left on Bender Island?

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.

[AmareIsGod]

How do you like The Athletic Bone?

It's nice. Enjoying the relatively frequent articles.

I think they already told Bender they are not picking up his option.

They would rather have the $6 mil for free agency.

What would be the benefit to telling him a month early?

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.

What did you think of his performance last night? He did play better than his other recent outings.

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?

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.
