The one x-factor with Landry/DEN, if he weren't hurt, if he weren't the coach's apparent pet, is that Shaw was quiote explicit in preseason about the shrotcomings of his big men, that he wanted them to be able to play in the post, but the former regime had just accumulated a bunch of runners with no interior offensive game. Well, Landry can post. Can't pass, which is the other thing you want a triangle big to do, but can certainly post.
So Houston want a first rounder included for Asik, and Lakers (in theory, probably not reality) could offer up Pau. Now Houston may not want him (despite their previous infatuation with him), which is where we could come in if we hadn't messed up with the Hickson trade. Landry/Filler/1st Rounder to Houston, Asik + Lin to Lakers, Pau to Kings.
A month later, IT/McLemore/Thompson/future 1st to Boston for Rondo...
Rondo/Thornton/Gay/Gasol/Cousins. BOOM.

If we are not going to bother using Williams (which we should he can be good) than I say package him to the Nets since they need young talent with one of our terrible contracts like Landry for Paul Pierce expiring deal, with Lopez going down for the year, I'm pretty sure the Nets will be looking for young talent.
If we are just going to take his playing time away lets stop wasting his and our time and package him to a team needing young talent, seriously 11mins and he has done nothing to loss playing time (even with Gay he should see plenty off time).

Landry is not immovable. There would be several teams who would be more than willing to acquire him, the Clippers were aggressive in pursuing him during FA, but I highly doubt we are looking to dump him. Malone loves the guy and Landry played some of his best ball with Malone and GS. I'd like to see Landry playing with us before he's labeled an immovable contract.
I guess I would have to re-read about the signing but I don't remember any team looking to give Landry the numbers we gave him.Injuries I feel are often underrated on this forum but they are variables that can potentially affect careers and they damage value. In any event it will be interesting how Landry looks when he comes back

I would love to get Sanders we need to get Malone a defensive anchor in that's what sanders is. I don't know what it would take but I would give them IT if it took that

1) Sam Amico, not Sam Amick
2) because the Bucks got stupid on the contract after 1 good season, acquiring Sanders would now basically recreate the OKC salary structure. Contract 1: Durant/Cousins, Contract 2: Westbrook/Gay; Contract 3: Ibaka/Sanders. Then you have to shed as much unnecessary baggage as possible after that. Have maybe one $6mil guy or 2 MLE, and then cheap stuff. Its possible, but Sanders then HAS to be this mythological Sanders MIL fans were spouting about. best defensive player in the league! etc. etc.

I can certainly understand the Bucks wanting to move Sanders, but I really doubt that they'll get many takers. Four more years after this one at 11 mil a year is hard to swallow for a player that had just one good year, and has hardly played this year. right now, their getting almost the same production from Henson as they did Sanders last season, and they only have to pay him around 3 mil on average for the next couple of year. Then throw Giannis Antetokounmpo, (what a mouth full) into the mix, who is proving to be a pretty good defender, and Sanders becomes irrelevant.
Just not sure I would do it. Maybe if they take back Thornton and Thompson to balance the books a little for a couple of years. Naw, I think I'll pass.

How does Larry Sanders salary count towards a trade this year, since he is owed only $3mil this year and then $11 mil per year for 4 years?
I would definitely consider it if they take back either MT or JT salary in return. I can definitely see Milwaukee trading him away in a salary dump, before his stock drops even more, now that John Henson has his starting spot

The total contract has to be taken into consideration and not just what he's making this year. This prevents teams from back loading contracts and using just the first year of a contract to make a trade work, or to take on a large contract in freeagency, which in the following years would take you over the cap because of the backloaded contract.
What I would be worried with Larry Sanders is the MT syndrome. Play great in the contract season and then just back to earth the rest of the contract, until it is contract time again.
MT was off the hook the 1/2 year the Kings traded midseason for him and then got the big contract and then back to a high volume chucker. Larry Sanders had one really good season with the Buck and they gave him a $44 million/4 year contract. It may be worth a gamble to put a rim protector next to Cousins, but PDA really dropped the ball by shipping away Robin Lopez to Portland.

Trades with Poison Pill contract require either cap space or trade exception. In a trade Sanders would count as $3 million contract for Bucks and $11 million for his new team. It means that Bucks can take back only up to $4,6 million in salary (150%+$100,000), but Kings have to send out at least $7,266,000 [($11,000,000-$100,000)/150%]
The difference as you see is $2,666,000 and a contract(-s) of at least sush a value has to be sent by Kings to a third team with cap space or trade exception.
That's why trades with such contracts are rare.
P.S. As always you can read it in CBA FAQ: http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q88.

I tried several different scenarios on ESPN trade machine and I don't think it is possible to trade for Sanders because his contract extension doesn't kick in until next year.
If we are interested in Sanders, I think the Kings will have to wait until the off season to make a trade. But, by that point, he will have either played poorly or very well. So the Bucks will either to try Salary dump him (if he plays poorly) or ask for a lot more in a trade (if he plays well).
