    When he shoots a rare mid-range jumper, he really fades back. His low release point is going to hold him back unless he really gets more lift from his legs or changes his form.

    Sanders is available but the Bucks are having trouble finding interest around the league.

    Sounds like he could be had relatively cheaply, would you risk bringing in such a knucklehead?

    I'd roll the dice on him of the Bucks were just looking to dump him for Freeland or Meyers.

    He's a PPP. Really hard to trade for him.

    The Bucks get raped though. The only young prospect in that deal is Leonard.

    Bucks are in tank mode. They want Wiggins or Parker.

    Ya it's not a very good trade. I do think Zaza would be a fantastic backup center though. He just might be the only back to the basket center in the NBA nowadays.

    The poison pill makes Sanders nearly untradable.

    You would have to be extremely creative, plus needing a third team.
    Pretty much impossible to organize.

    What's the point of going after Sanders when Asik is available? I know the guy has been discussed at length, but he's a shot blocker and a great help defender. I'd rather go after Asik if we're going to make a trade for a big man.

    Not saying we should trade for him. Just explaining how hard it would be.

    I know how hard it would be. That's why I said it would be almost impossible :devilwink:

    It's actually quite easy to do (and I think I have posted this before) http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=mu3uxzd

    Substitute Barton for Crabbe and I'd have to at least consider that. Sanders is young like Leonard so giving up on Meyer's potential is offset by Sanders potential. The down side is, you get some of his 'quirkiness'. I'm not up an all of the issues that he's had. Can someone specify?

    I agree the Trade Machine seems to not know about it.
