Will Bynum Interested In Joining Maccabi Tel Aviv
Pistons guard Will Bynum's agent, Mark Bartelstein, confirmed to The Detroit News on Monday a report that his client is interested in re-joining the Israeli team Maccabi Tel Aviv, whom Bynum played for from 2006-08.
"I would say you have to look at everything," Bartlestein said. "Will loves to play; it's how he makes his living."
Eurobasket.com, a website that covers the international game, reported Sunday that Bynum is interested in returning to Israel so he can join childhood friend Jeremy Pargo, a former Gonzaga standout.
Pargo and Bynum grew up on Chicago's south side and were considered playground legends.
