Larry Sanders and Bucks trying to reach buyout. Should Morey take a chance?

Son, Larry Sanders haven't been a good player in two years. You're bring up outdated articles/stats. Kobe was better than Harden two years ago, so I guess they both stayed the same right?

 

This season he is allowing 46% inside. Which is good for 14th in the league. Best interior defender? No.

 

Lol, according to the source that YOU provided, he's in the top 7 this year, and that's with inconsistent mins. That makes him better than all the players you initially named with the exception of two, son.

 

Total whackjob and not worth the risk. We learned our lesson with Royce White.

And this is coming from somebody pleading for an upgrade at the backup five spot.

 

FG% allowed is not the only relevant stat.
For example, if your man misses 2 layups because you block him both time, but both times gets the rebound, and makes the 3rd, then you have a wonderful FG% allowed of 33%, but a points per 100 possessions against of 200 (which is horrible).

It shows how the guy with the best FGA isn't the best rim protector, might make him a good 'man defender', and will most times be very helpful, but not the 'be all and end all' defensive stat.

For example, Quincy Acy has the 8th best FGA amongst qualified big men (45.2% ranks him just ahead of Dwight, who is 9th), however Quincy gives us 0.91ppg more than average.
Or Donuts, who ranks in the top 20 in terms of opponent FG%, but has negative value compared to the average in terms of saving points.

He gave up $27 million NOT to play basketball for a living? How bad is it in Milwaukee?

 

Or he believes he can make that money back in free agency. There's got to be more to the story. Especially when Kidd is involved.

 

I think he just wants to get high.

 

I'd cover every bit and all of that monetary loss for the Greek Freak.

 

He's living the dream alright.

 

Yep. I'm sure he'd fail a drug test right now.

 

Mavs have 'cautious interest' in Sanders

 

Theres no way Daryl Morey can allow Cuban to get Sanders before us. Especially when we have a bigger need at backup center than Dallas. We can't allow this to happen

The West is an arms race. Of the playoff teams, who can get the biggest return before April?
