    A new start can help this man out tremendously.

    Imagine if we end up with a Lawson/Gogi and Sanders after the deadline

    I have a feeling the Cavs might make a run towards Larry.

    Sanders makes too much sense. He is an elite rim protector, loves to run the floor and he does not need to be fed in the post.

    Should come dirt cheap with off court issues, guaranteed $$ from Bucks. Morey will be worshipped like a god if he pulls this off.

    He doesn't want to play.IMO this is like the Bynum's situation where he gets another contract, then bail out.

    If Morey pulls off that trade it will have mixed views by the people on the forum.

    Sanders could be Josh Smith part 2 ... having a new start on a new team.
    The kid has so much talent and we need defense in the paint with DH12 out for now.

    Larry Sanders is the best interior defender in the NBA.

    People on the forum are full of uninformed opinions, almost all lambasted the Josh Smith acquisition. Once Sanders helps Rockets to championship game, all the naysayers will be redacting their negative posts and proclaiming unabashedly their undying love for the guy.

    The difference between sanders and smith, are off the court. smith seems to have his head on right, but sanders I don't know...a change of scenery could be worse coming to a bigger city,with more temptations.
    Smoking a little pot doesnt make you a bad person, or dopehead IMO but how many times can he fail a drug test before serious suspensions come and what would they be? 1 year? Lifetime? Anyone know?

    This.

    Whatever problems Smith may have had in Detroit, dude has always maintain a clean persona. Sanders would have been helfpful in the absence of D12, but can you count on somebody with personal demons? (i.e. substance abuse problems).

    No matter how good a player might be, if he is not available to play then he is a waste of a roster spot.

    Smoking pot surely doesn't make you a bad person. That said, a dopehead is somebody who has an addiction to pot, right? If you can't quit smoking dope for a $1,000,000 a month, you might have problem, even if it's just a little.

    Denver should take a flyer on him. Sounds like he'd be much more comfortable over there.

    If we handed out anus tarts to Hassan Whiteside we would be closer to winning a championship by now.
