I know one or two of you have already mentioned it here...it would be great if Larry Sanders would consider a comeback with a team like the Warriors. He's only 27, a very athletic C, and a GREAT rim protector. It seems like he's missed the game and would consider a comeback with the right team per this article a few months ago in March:
Basketball Insiders: You mentioned you're in a better place, which leads to the big question that everyone is asking. Do you see yourself making an NBA comeback anytime soon?
Larry Sanders: "I could see myself coming back to the NBA and… I mean, I'll just leave it at that. I can't say too much. (laughs) I can see myself coming back there."
Basketball Insiders: Your name gets mentioned in rumors whenever a team needs a big man or is looking to make a free agency signing. Have teams been calling you or your camp to express interest?
Larry Sanders: "I'll say this: I understand who I am as a player and I know what I can bring to any team. Now that I've gotten the chance to watch a lot of basketball, I just know what I would do on that court. Even from an effort standpoint, I know I can [play harder than a lot of players]. With the kind of player that I am, I just don't see a team that couldn't use my services. But I will say, I think it would have to be a very good fit for the both of us.
Good call! Was thinking about him a few days ago, wondering if he'll ever come back to the NBA. He had some depression issues iirc. Hope he's over that. Wouldn't mind giving him a look.
This just came up on Twitter from Alex Kennedy at Basketball Insiders - verrrry interesting:
Alex Kennedy @AlexKennedyNBA 1h1 hour ago Larry Sanders is working out in California. Several teams have shown interest in him and he remains open to the idea of an NBA comeback.
