Milwaukee Bucks’ center Larry Sanders is not having the type of season that warranted a 4-year, $44 million dollar contract. Sanders has missed games this season because of injury, has failed several drug tests and now reportedly wants to end his playing career, according to Bucks beat writer, Gery Woelfel.
Sources tell me that Bucks center Larry Sanders recently told some Bucks officials that he doesn't want to play basketball anymore.

Some friends of Sanders told me last summer they were concerned Sanders wasn't committed to basketball and wanted to explore other options.

It's hardly a secret Bucks have been trying to trade Sanders.Asked f the Bucks could trade Sanders now, an NBA official said: "Good luck.''

A Bucks official said the team had attempted to trade Sanders, along with Brandon Knight, to the Pacers last summer for Roy Hibbert.
