Larry Sanders Among Cavs' Replacement Options

... they could go small with Le Bron James or Richard Jefferson playing power forward, they didn’t have a big, bruising center to set hard screens, rebound and defend the paint when that was needed. Andrew Bogut , signed last week after the Dallas Mavericks bought him out, was supposed to change this. Bogut, 32, is one of the best and most physical defensive centers in the league when healthy, and he seemed like the perfect guy to give Cleveland a different look. He made his debut on Monday and, in absolutely awful news for him and the Cavs,  he broke his leg less than a minute into his first stint. Cleveland’s front office could decide to leave the roster as-is. Mozgov, after all, wasn’t a part of the rotation during last year’s playoffs. If the Cavs do decide to explore other options, though, here is a (purely speculative) list of possible options. Larry Sanders. This is my favorite choice, and he ...

The Cavaliers must still decide whom to waive to create space for Sanders, league sources said. Sanders, 28, has been out of the league since February 2015, when he accepted a contract buyout with the Milwaukee Bucks. He had multiple violations of the NBA’s anti-drug policy, went on a personal leave of absence, and then stepped away from basketball to focus on his personal life. Over the past year, however, Sanders  began to focus on returning to ...

Larry Sanders Readies Himself For Another Chance At Nba Life

... … and sometimes I play basketball.” He spent a month at Rogers Memorial Hospital in Oconomowoc. , a quiet town a little more than half an hour from Milwaukee, in treatment for his emotional disorders. “It’s a lot of youth there, a lot of kids that were younger than me,” Sanders said. “While I came in with my own issues, I was also able to mentor a lot. And I was able to kind of be of help, open my eyes just to a lot of things, where you can really put your importance in life, the values system that we set up. It made me extremely grateful for anything I did and didn’t have. It just opened my eyes to my situation, how big the picture was. It helped me to make my decision. It definitely did.”. Both while at Rogers and afterward, Sanders took stock of what had caused him so much anxiety. “A lot of guys in the league, we come from different situations,” he said. “The way drama works, it just stores in your body. Certain things, they don’t really go away. You just ...

His best season came in 2012-13, when he notched 9.8 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.8 blocks in 27.3 minutes per game.

But two years later, he announced he would be returning to basketball. Larry Sanders @l 8 show_thegoat. Officially stepping back into the game,looking for a good ...

... during the second season of a four-year, $44 million contract. As he explained later on  The Players’ Tribune , he left to seek treatment for anxiety and depression. But he never closed the door to a possible return. “I love basketball, and if I get to a point where I feel I’m capable of playing basketball again, I will,” he said. “I’ve had to make the difficult decision to follow my intuition and allow myself the space and time to explore my true purpose in life.”. There have been  talks of a comeback before, and Sanders had  publicized his plans on Twitter last month. The 6’11” big man announced he was “officially stepping back into the game” and had “really missed” it. He  worked out for the Boston Celtics in late January and seems to have impressed an important person in Cleveland. “What I saw today I liked,” Lue said. “I like him as a person, like what I saw.”.
