    He just says Texas, not HOU specifically. Some are saying the Mavs have the interest in him but they aren't the reason he was in Texas from what I gather.

    Supposedly he posted a picture of his plane ticket and it said Houston. :dunno:

    Honestly, I would much rather see him in Dallas. I fucking hate Houston.

    My guess is the Lakers are the WC team interested in Sanders.

    The Lakers’ experiment with undrafted Larry Sanders -2.0 (Robert Upshaw) is not going very well. They are going for the original nut case (Sanders) and will have a backup nut case (Upshaw) in development.

    The Lakers will be keeping quit a few psychiatrists in business.

    Don't forget they had to bring Ron Artest out of retirement too.

    I think the Rockets should pick him up because their last attempt at working with someone like this, Royce White, turned out SO well....

    Fear of flying and an addictive flake are two very different things, IMO.

    Royce's issues went far beyond a fear of flying. The dude was a nutjob.

    I guess I remember more of Sanders than White... I mean, I know White flat out refused to fly, and it's weird since you fly EVERYWHERE as a pro athelete. IIRC, he got therapy for it, and if so, I commend him for it. Did Sanders? I hope, and maybe I can look that up.

    The clippers make the most sense, they're super thin up front

    Would you say they got their ears lowered up front? Get it, clippers... Thin... haircut.

    I'm here all week.

    Hendo has been putting his time in with the team, has a track record of being a good role playing teammate, and has fewer established teammates at his positions vying for minutes. He doesn't have the baggage Sanders has. Sanders has a record of being a distraction, he has big downside Hendo doesn't have.

    Hendo has negative value relative to his contract. I wouldn't have been in favor of singing him for $6 million in a vacuum. But since we're stuck with him anyways it's worth seeing if he can be a productive player.
