Larry Sanders Received Serious Interest From Warriors, Cavs

[Andrew]

Larry Sanders hasn't played in the NBA for 20 months but he's considering a return.

Sanders will not return to the NBA until he feels mentally healthy enough to do so. He may not return at all.

"If the time comes and the stars align, then yeah," he said. "If I feel like I'm ready to play this summer, I'll probably be on a team next year."

Multiple sources confirmed that both the Warriors and Cavaliers expressed serious interest in signing Sanders.

"He's not DeAndre Jordan, but he's not too far off," a league source told VICE Sports. "As a pure defensive specialist center, top five. Top eight. And the thing is, the list isn't that long. It's not a top 30. There's not a top 12. They're unicorns in that way."

Sanders refers to himself as retired from the NBA but he still talks about playing in the present tense.

"You want to see me create? Watch me play defense," he said. "Because I'm thrilled by it. I love playing defense, I love watching how guys move and who's on the cut. I love anticipating blocks. I love contesting shots, altering shots. I love it. I love guarding somebody. I hate if someone scores on me—I hate that! I'm driven by it, man. It fuels me."

According to a league source who had conversations with multiple former teammates of Sanders, "he was his own guy and if you didn't fit in with him, he didn't want to know you."

I'm tired of hearing about this guy. Either lace em up or fixate on your shitty music.

According to the Akron Beacon Journal, Larry Sanders was arrested last year on a felony charge in Los Angeles.
The ABJ reports: "According to Los Angeles Sherriff’s Department jail records, Sanders was arrested on June 12 and booked into the Van Nuys jail. His bail was set at $50,000." Well, this helps shed light as to why Sanders has not been able to secure even a 10-day contract after trying out for numerous teams. Despite his size and skill, Sanders' off-court issues have scared teams away. Feb 24 - 9:37 AM

This means we are getting Bogut! Imagine the great influence Sanders would get from GS. Oh man this is getting better. I say we undercut an offer for him and give him min contract of one and half years and take him from them and officially add Bogut.

I can see the GS Warriors pitch... "They never wanted and will not get Bogut but he was a meanie here, he used to bully people around, when you want to look like a good person and why we have over egos and a coach who is god. We got Durant to when you go break into a beverage store he will tell the store owner he needs more security. The GSW FO" The GSW mindset all.
