Why didn't he get himself ready in time for the summer league?? Nothing's wrong with a comeback and this guy was considered most promising at one point. But he gets himself ready and announces a comeback AFTER summer league is over? Puzzling was to go about a comeback..

From Wikipedia.....might dismiss any ideas he needs the money
Bender's for-profit construction company, Kingdom Homes, buys and restores flood-damaged properties in New Orleans' worst neighborhoods. Some other projects include an Italian wine imports company; investment in several high-end real estate projects; inventing and seeking a patent on a fitness device he's calling Bender Bands; owning part of an island and some commercial property in the Caribbean; and owning Studio 5504, a New Orleans recording facility

Also with his business ventures seeming to be mostly in New Orleans...maybe he might wanna go there.

Considering most of his investments are in real estate, he might need the money - it depends on if he did it using leverage or cash and whether or not he is getting enough cashflow out of them to sustain the investment let alone profit.

Thats the right way to go about a comeback, that's why Bender's posture strikes me as crazy suspicious. Look at him trying to swagger and hustle his way back into a contract, not the league. He's acting like he wasnt a huge bust that spent all of his career averaging 5 points a game.

Talking about "I've talked to many teams" and all that. Man, you were garbage when you were healthy, why would anybody want to give you a deal when you're all mangled and have been on the sidelines for years? He's looking for a lifeline and trying to attack the soft spot of his daddy Walsh. They were probably close and he's trying to hustle him. " Oh, just give me 15 spot, I can still go"

I was just messin around with all the insecurity stuff, because I dont believe this rumor for a second but Bender injuries or not, Bender does suck.

And if you're going to bring it to my chest like that, then you should expect for me to say something back. For you to try to start something and then say "young and the restless" is a little weak. Trying to start drama then putting it on the other person is a little too female, dog.

Walsh isnt putting any money in any of our pockets, so there is no need to get all defensive.

What are you talkin about man?....I didn't say anything to personally attack you....I'm counter debating and having a discussion.

Nobody is is getting defensive...acting female???

Yo man I'm not gonna internet argue with dude. Only thing I see in the convo is one person spinned it like Bender was being desperate and Donnie is gonna be a dumb ass and pay him....I countered with the more logical notion that he'd want to try and play for Donnie again with his boy Harrington.
I been asking....why post here if you are gonna assume someone is trying to disrespect you. Aint no disrespect going on. That's all I gotta say about it all that extra **** you can just keep that

Dude, this is better than the Young and the Restless.
I just hope that people will like me

I think you invite him to training camp and see what he has. My only fear is that he may show flashes of his old talent/athleticism, get signed over someone else and then blow out his knee again. I don't think you ignore a guy who is 7' and used to be able to play 2-5 on the court that is only 28.
