Larry Sanders 

Post#1 » by kingjames53087 » Wed Feb 18, 2015 5:18 pm

It seems that Larry Sanders buyout from the Bucks is imminent, with various sources stating that he will forgoe the remaining 36-40$mil on his contract and take 15$mil spread over 7 years. According to Alex Kennedy, the Cavs have been monitoring the situation closely. Sanders has been reinstated and can sign with any team, making him eligible to play in the playoffs.
I know he has issues but our front court depth got exposed with Love out vs. the Bulls. Not to long ago, Sanders was a legit DPOY candidate. A backup point to take Delly's playoff minutes, and another rim protecting, defensive big, to sub in when Mozgov sits, is all this team really needs.

What do you guys think?

Update: according to Woj "Sources: Once Larry Sanders buyout is complete with Milwaukee, there's presently no plan for him to sign elsewhere in NBA this season."
I hope this isn't the case because I think he could be great for us.

He needs some time away from the game. He wouldn't be much good for most teams right now.

He's got a substance abuse problem and it sounds serious.

If Larry Sanders comes to Cleveland, I don't know that this city could handle Manziel, Gordon, AND Sanders. There are only so many drugs in the city.

Sanders does nobody any good until he gets his self together. $13 million buys a lot of weed and other drugs so don't expect him back real soon.
