Free agent center Larry Sanders wants to know where you think he should play basketball next season. On Monday, he posted two Twitter polls asking which team would "utilize my skills the best."
The first tweet listed the Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks and Boston Celtics as his options. The second one: the Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks. It is unclear if he is seriously considering all of these teams and if that interest is mutual -- the Warriors reportedly decided against signing him, for example.
Sanders, 27, has not signed with a team since stepping away from the NBA in February 2015, later explaining that he accepted a buyout from the Bucks because he was dealing with anxiety and depression. He has talked to The Vertical, Complex and Basketball Insiders about his desire to come back to the league in the past few months.
If Sanders is committed to returning and doesn't mind playing for the minimum, then he would fit on any of those teams. Not that long ago, he was one of the best rim protectors around. At this point in the offseason, there is no one with as much upside as him on the open market.
Earlier this month, Sanders tweeted, "I know where ever I decide to go, we gettin' a ring ..." If he is indeed focused a championship immediately, that would likely rule out all of those teams aside from Golden State and Cleveland. Sanders teased fans of both of those teams on Twitter on the same day that he tweeted about winning a title.
