1. Bender Considering Comeback, Possibly With Knicks Jonathan Bender is plotting an NBA comeback after a injury-forced retirement. Bender left the Pacers midway through the 2005-06 season because of persistent knee troubles that limited him to just 237 games in seven NBA seasons. "My potential is still enormous and I can still do a lot for a team," Bender told ESPN.com. "If it happens, then everything flows. And if it doesn't, at least I tried." Bender said he was encouraged by cousin Morris Peterson of the New Orleans Hornets and various friends to make a comeback. "I didn't want the windows to close on me," Bender said. "I wanted the opportunity to fight off the demons inside my head ... I read these articles that say, 'He's the top bust' or 'He's one of the guys who didn't live up to their potential.' I don't want to be 38 or 40 looking back thinking, 'I should've done this.'" Donnie Walsh and the Knicks would likely be interested in signing Bender. 已經退休的小班可能會重返NBA？他自己也在考慮這件事情；而可能加入的球隊 是當初也相當賞識他的Walsh所掌管的尼克。 2. Pacers, Celtics Talk Marquis Daniels Sign-And-Trade The Pacers and Celtics are expected to further discuss a sign-and-trade for Marquis Daniels this week. Since Daniels agreed to join Boston, Indiana has signed a few players to low-cost, short-term deals. They have signed, re-signed or agreed to terms with Earl Watson, Solomon Jones and Josh McRoberts over the last week. Because of that, the Pacers aren't expected to push a sign-and-trade if they believe they are only landing their fourteenth or fifteenth player. 雖然綠衫軍可能要透過和我們先簽後換來取得丹丹。但是在丹丹宣布加入綠衫軍後， 我們又陸續簽下Watson、jones和羅伯絲，所以如果我們又再簽下需要的球員，可能 就不必用先簽後換從綠衫軍那邊換人來了。 3.Tinsley Interested In Miami Jamaal Tinsley is interested in playing for the Heat, but can't officially talk to teams until he clears waivers on Wednesday. The Heat have mixed views about Tinsley internationally, but they are still in need of a veteran presence at point guard 略 --
