Sanders isnt a headcase or a locker room cancer. rehab, yes but the other 2 comments are not accurate. This also would have been long BEFORE sanders was sent to rehab, which needs to be considered. either way, Kidd was looking to move lopez which would have been a huge blessing for this franchise. clearly king wants to keep him, and its going to come back to bite us in the butt
as far as 2016-17, sanders is a guy you WANT on the team long term. a potoential 1st team all defense center. having him at 11 million you can still easily max out durant and get some other pieces.
adding money to 16-17 is only an issue when its a guy you wont keep around who isnt a young player.We tried to acquire Jack for the package of Terry and Evans,but the Cavs turned it down. Thornton was the backup plan.
that was the report. maybe it was the nets who didnt want to go that route.
Sanders has had 1 good season.
-He broke his hand in a bar fight.
-Was suspended 5 games for violating the anti-drug policy
-Had runs in with the law
-Was garbage when he played this past season
-Now in rehab
-Had a confrontation with Gary Neal who said Sanders wasn't earning his money (locker room cancer)
$34 million would be tied up between DWill and Sanders. Would KD want to come play with them? I highly doubt that. And no they wouldn't have room for much more after that. Add in $20 million for KD you're at $54, plus Plumlee's $2 million and cap holds your at $60 so we'd have $9 million to offer, not getting anyone great with $9 million,
You're not really going to find a defensive anchor like Larry for less than what he's getting. Assuming he gets back on the court, $11 million a year for a guy that can anchor everything defensively is a pretty good deal. You probably won't get a much better return for Brook Lopez at this point. Milwaukee fans would have flipped a **** if they had traded Larry and Ersan for Brook and Mirza.
