Amico/Fox sports: Bucks open to Larry Sanders trade for draft picks...

[chambers]

Says they'd have to take salary back but that's okay with picks in return...

How many picks would it take?
Rondo, Sully, Sanders is a sweet core moving forward... and Sanders is locked in long term.

-- The Bucks are still very open to moving center Larry Sanders prior to the Feb. 20 trading deadline, sources said. They would have to take back some salary, but it appears draft picks are their priority.

How bout...
Clippers 1st rounder
+Brooklyn 2014 pick
+ Gerald Wallace

for Larry Sanders?


Sam Amico's rumor mill in which he also outlines his hypothetical Rondo trades... The Kings stick out to me on that one.

Here's some Larry Sanders footage for those that don't know him that well...

Sam Amico is about as reliable as my 4 year old niece.

Not surprised by this though. Sanders has been a big disappointment.

[pokeKingCurtis]

I'd do it three times over.

Getting rid of Gerald Wallace's monster contract is worth a first round pick in itself.

Which is why I think Celticslife's suggestion of Humphries being the salary filler is more likely.

Of course, if Ainge could pull off getting rid of Wallace's contract while attaining Sanders, I'd be so happy. It's not completely impossible that the Bucks would nab Wallace since they won't be contending any time soon. Sending him to the toilet that is currently the Bucks should teach future salary fillers a lesson *about how it's better to keep your [dang] mouth shut sometimes...

Hell, give them the conditional first from the 6ers. I'd still do it and I'd do it and I'd do it again.



As for Larry Sanders, I'm a fan of buying low and possibly finally having a center.



As for the rumor...is Amico any good? Okay someone just answered.

But it's still quite conceivable. I'd be hyped for a lineup of Sully/Sanders/KO/Hump. Pretty formidable right there.

[Roy H.]

At this point, the Bucks should be sending back draft picks.  He's been that bad.

* He's averaging 6.7 points per game.  That's really bad, but is the second highest total of his four-year career;

* He's shooting 43.3% from the field, which is atrocious for a guy of his size and athleticism.  An anomaly?  Nope.  He's shot below 46% in three out of his four seasons.  He's been a terrible FT shooter, too;

* He's got character issues, both in public and in the locker room;

* He's vastly overpaid starting next year ($44 million over four years);

* He's overrated as a defender, and can't stay out of foul trouble (5.0 PF per 36 minutes).

I've called this guy "Javale McGee 2.0", but that's probably vastly unfair to Javale.  It just doesn't make sense to give up draft picks for the pleasure of having Sanders take up 20% of your salary cap for the next four seasons.

As crazy as it is to say, I'm not even sure if I'd do Wallace + a #2 for Sanders.  You probably have to, I guess, for the potential.  However, between Sanders' attitude, offensive ineptitude, and terrible contract (again, a year longer than Wallace's), I'd be very hesitant.

Why on earth would you want to give up 2 1st rd draft picks for him? He's available for a reason and those are his large contract (11m per yr until 2018), his production (less than 7 pts and 7 reb a game), and his behavior (fights with teammates and at clubs).

[Tr1boy]

The bucks are going to want our 1st pick to even get a conservation stated

Why is Larry Sanders worth a lottery pick?

Because that's what they're asking for. And because he Larry f@&"$ Sanders baby.

You haven't watched him enough Roy. He's most certainly not an over rated defender.
The bucks are going to demand a top 12 pick for him or 2 firsts.
Check out his defensive stats compared to the top 5 bigs in the NBA.

[Birdman]

change of scenery and playing with Rondo would help Sanders but has that big contract

[chambers]

Larry Sanders, 25 years old.
2012-13 per 36 numbers:

13 points
3.5 blocks
1 steal
12.5 rebounds

his foul tendency is a problem but to move Wallaces contract with a few mid first round picks would be like robbing the Swiss bank.
Again, pair this guy with Rondo and watch the Perk effect on offense magically transform him to a 16 ppg 12 rebound 3 block monster protecting the rim and clearing space for Sullinger to bang down low and collect the crumbs when he stretches out to 15 feet.

There's a reason the Bucks gave him a long, solid deal- he's the prototype for a rich man's Tyson Chandler- compare their per 36 numbers. Sanders still has plenty of potential on offense at age 25, he's also stuck on a bum team that struggles to score. With Brandon Jennings as their PG he was getting 13 points a game. Surely Rondo bumps that up to 16-18 ppg with simple passing alone.

[Evantime34]

He was very good defensively last and has been downright awful this year. I think it is the coaching and the defensive scheme they are running that is ruining him. However with his Youth and athleticism I would certainly give them a pick and Wallace for him.

He's better than you think and he wants to win.

[LilRip]

if Sanders is available and we could get rid of Gerald Wallace at the same time? I would throw in the Clipper pick + any player not named Rondo to get him.

he's had a bad year but if the Bucks wanna get rid of him, i definitely would wanna "buy-low".
