| I assumed their might be a trade with one of our big men so they were working out Sanders as insurance. |

sanders can play PF and Center.
We have Zubac who isnt quite their yet but on his way. we have mos, who is what he is at this stage of his career post knee injury. and we have a too short Tarik black. everyone else playing center is too darn small to do it vs any real center or big with size. Sanders is taller than randle/nance/tarik. but more athletic than zubac. even though he's shorter.
now to others points. is he mentally ready? has he grown up a bit? if not, no thanks. we have enough real kids. no need for a full grown kid.
The one good thing about him is that he was a rim protector and a decent rebounder. |

| You would think Cleveland would want Larry Sanders, especially with them thin at the big man position... |

Sanders would be a quality fit on any team, especially the Lakers. He's a legit big who can defend and score easily in the paint. He's young enough to still have a few years ahead of him. If the Lakers can pull this off, I'd think they'd be in a great position. I'd like to see them trade some of the Vets that are top heavy in salary like Mozgov and Deng and then bring in Sanders as a complimentary piece to the young guys.
Mozgov, Deng and Williams (Hate to Move him, best player on the team) can all help playoff teams this season. We should be in TANK mode the rest of the year, it's a lost cause from here on out. Pick up Sanders and Continue to play these young guys... Maybe get some draft pics in exchange and maybe one solid NBA player in return.
Russell+Clarkson+Ingram+Randle+Sanders
This may not look like much, but with Ingram and Sanders, there is a lot of defensive potential. |

| Also, Metta could still be waived, than hired as a counselor to Sanders (not sure if their anxiety problems stem from the same place). |

All I want is, if Sanders gets picked up, that Deng plays PF.

| Honestly I'am not mad nothing happens. Even if Larry makes a come back in the NBA and become the greatest defender the league has ever seen I woudn't blame the front office. Dude was a headcase and he hasn't played in what ? 3 or 4 years ? I want no part of this. |

2015 was when he played last, not that long ago. |

he has not played in 30 games or more since 2012-13, and that was his only decent season. |

Recently worked out for the Cavs. I guess the Lakers passed.

If I'm here and you're here, doesn't that make it our time? Certainly, there's nothing wrong with a little feast on our time. |
