Lot of Cs fans RT'd.  The guy offering smoke was pretty fantastic.   

GS declined to bring him in this year.  I think most here would be happy to take a flier, though.

He's been away too long to join a winning team without having a negative short-term (and maybe long-term) impact.

If we sign him....We could call him SATCH! lol

Oh man, I created a twitter account a couple months ago to tell him to come Boston way. Unapologetically excited if this is true. 

Don't care about the Marijuana history. Don't care about his rap career. Larry Sanders possesses an understanding of how to use his obscenely long arms to cut off angles before shots can be created on a level that Garnett esque.

When it comes to blocking shots, it's more about the angles of the player on offense. Whatever angle they're taking to attack the rim, and whatever angle they're attacking the backboard, or what angle they're attacking the rim to dunk it. I try to adjust and meet them at that angle.

He's a weird dude. Remember reading that he's into books about energy and crystals but if that same fascination is what allows him to tap into his otherworldly rim protection ability than he can sacrifice a chicken in the locker room for all I care.

We'll see if he can still play but IMO innate rim protection isn't going anywhere. Your jump shot can fade. Your timing can suffer. But the psyche that made him a defensive force before is just something that you walk around with and will still be there the moment that he steps on a court again.

So I see you are smoking the same stuff Sanders is smoking.

After watching Zeller and Olynyk get steamrollered on defense by OKC last night, I am not fussy.

He must have family in the area he has visited a few times now. Never about joining the C's so far.

Just breathing in the hyped up air. Not every day ya see a guy walk into the Garden, Mash 1 on KG, and walk out with the victory.

 Video of him maybe returning. Celtics one of the teams mentioned.

How about a 7'6" wingspan and a 9'4" standing reach! Wow! Talk about elite length!

He's really one of the most polarizing and misunderstood figures in the NBA. You either side with him on his depression and anxiety issues, or you don't and assume he's just being lazy and wants to smoke marijuana all day.

I have a question though, do they do drug tests in the NBA in legalized states,? (assuming they apply to it every player regardless of the residency.) I mean Sanders could at least smoke on long breaks, or during the off-season if he really needs to spark one up lol.

At best, he seems like a pretty chill and laid back guy, but as you said with a very long wingspan.

Wasn't it not too long ago, that we honestly thought the Bucks might've been a young and upcoming team with the juggernauts of giant long wingspan-like freak of natures in Giannis, MCW, Sanders, Henson, and Middleton.
