Hi guys,
Amico reckons the Bucks 'may be considering trading Larry Sanders'.
http://msn.foxsports.com/ohio/story/nba-report-bucks-may-be-gauging-sanders-trade-122313

What's everyone's take?
http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=lc7xn3z


Bucks send:
Larry Sanders
Caron Butler (expiring)

Celtics Send:
-2014 first round pick
-Kris Humphries (expiring)
-Vitor Faverani (2 years, 2 million)

Would you give up our 2014 pick for Larry Sanders?
If we finish with 32-34 wins and end up somewhere around the pick 10-15 range would you pull the trigger?
Sanders is signed up for 4 years at $11 million.
Remember we still have the Hawks pick (the Nets pick) this season if we do trade our own.

Rondo
Bradley
Green
Sully
Sanders

No. There is no evidence Larry Sanders has championship hunger. The only year great year he had was a contract year in a crappy system.

If he comes back healthy and shows he has it in him then the Bucks wouldn't want to trade him. They must know something we don't. Why else would they trade him? His off-the-court issues alone shouldn't be enough to warrant a trade for what he showed last year.

It's not even about losing the pick; it's about tying up so much of our salary cap into an unproven player for the long-term.

Well his injury is to his thumb so his 'health' isn't really an issue.
He's had attitude problems but not enough to put him on an Artest/ Stephen Jackson level.
The reason the Bucks might trade him is because of the emergence of John Henson whilst Sanders has been out with his thumb injury.
Henson has been awesome and they both play center...
I guess you could ask, 'why did they sign him to a 4 year 44 million dollar extension' if his attitude problems are such a big deal?

This team needs a big trade, or some real luck in the lottery. Our most valuable asset not named Rondo are all these picks, I don't think we can afford to be giving them away so freely.
You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

No. Not until we have a better idea where that pick is going to end up being.

If it was top 10 protected, I probably would.

Wait until draft night to find out how good the pick is. Maybe top 10 protected? But Sanders' indiscretions off the court frighten me a bit. I've always likes his play, but if he can't stay committed to the team I don't want him near Boston.

Probably not.

If that was the price I would rather continue to pursue Omer Asik.
*CB Miami Heat*
Kyle Lowry, Dwayne Wade, 13th pick in even numbered rounds, 18th pick in odd numbered rounds.

This.

The east is so up and down, we could very well end up with a lottery pick. I like Sanders' potential and what I love the idea of pairing him with Sully, but he's still rather unproven.

I wouldn't. I'd much rather wait till draft day and see what's available

Yes, the Nets pick. At best we can hope for is the 16th pick probably if the Hawks are the 8th seed and the West teams are better (I think that's how it works after the lottery). I think ATL could be better which makes our pick worse. I'm not doing FAV and Hump though. I mean, if that's the only way, I shop for something else b/c I don't want to give up on FAV. We have FAV for pennies for 2 more seasons after this, he could become a very good 2nd C with an off season of work. He's making only 2m a season, he's use to coming in for little minutes and doing work, he's 6 hard fouls... all you could ask for when you're talking your bench center.

agreed. If we could somehow use the trade exception instead of humps expiring I would do that in a heartbeat. (The nets/hawks pick)
Truuuuuuuuuth!

our pick, no.  Vitor, no.

Hump, Brooks and either the Clips pick next year or worse of the 2 picks this year - both lottery protected.  if both picks in the lottery, then it's Clips pick next year.

He's a decent center but not an all-star.  He's also got personal issues.  buyer beware (Vin Baker, Mark Blount, Raef Lafrentz, etc...) of players whose current teams are either anxious to ship them out or play well only in a contract year.
