Agent: Pistons' Will Bynum considering playing overseas

Will Bynum made a splash overseas as an undrafted free agent in 2006-07 with Maccabi Tel Aviv.

He might get another chance.

Bynum, the Pistons' backup point guard, said before the end of the season that if there were a prolonged lockout, he might consider going back to play overseas. High-profile NBA players like Amare Stoudemire and Kobe Bryant haven't ruled out the move, and Bynum already has experienced success overseas.

"Nothing has been decided yet and we haven't done anything to this point because he's in the middle of his contract with the Pistons," agent Mark Bartelstein said. "Will has had great success over there with Maccabi and it's something we will consider."

Bynum helped the team to the Israeli national championship.

He has two years left on his contract with the Pistons after signing a three-year deal last year.

As far as when Bynum would be in a Pistons uniform again, Bartelstein wasn't optimistic.

"I think they (the league) had been planning this for a long time," he said of the lockout. "I think a lot of the players were smart and saved their money and now some guys are looking at alternatives. You can't get a new deal in place if only one side is willing to negotiate. It takes two sides to work out a deal."
