Wonder how that went?

How does a screw up who breached his contract still get paid $2million/yr through 2022?

Because if he didnt get bought out, the Bucks would have had an $11 million cap hit for three more years.  They could withhold the money, but the cap hit would be there.  By buying him out for about a third of what was left, and stretching that hit, they didn't gum up their cap situation for three years.  Good negotiation on the part of Sanders agent.

If he can still play and has matured even 50%, I would love to pair him with Al.  Save our assets and flexibility.

Sign the [dang] guy already.  The man went and did what he wanted for awhile big [dang] deal.  That's what most 20 something's do

Haven't we been through this once already?  Wasn't the consensus that he didn't look very good in workouts?

What Sanders did was completely unprecedented and aside from questions about commitment, its pretty likely that he just isnt good anymore.

According to the reports posted last week, the Celtics have decided not to bring him in after the workout.

Supposedly he looked horrible, which is not surprising after you take a couple of years of to smoke weed.
