  They still need to contend for the #2 seed in that case.

  It absolutely does. But again, it's not on ESPN so you won't understand it.

  It makes a substantial difference especially when you are playing against top competition.

  Sleeper's failed logic would have gotten in the way of the Cavs signing Derrick Williams as well. lolfail

  How do you know he's not NBA ready? Are you watching his D-league games? Are you somehow seeing the tape of his practices?

  The Magic, Hawks (x2), and Heat aren't top competition. If they lost to them because he played ten minutes then God help us.

  Right because a player who had played in the last 2 years in the NBA is the same as someone who quit for 2 years because he wanted to smoke weed and lost a bunch of weight.

  By low risk move you mean jeopardizing a chance at the 1 seed just so TT, the NBA's ironman, can get 5-10 minutes a night rest?

  This is coming from a guy who has always said the seed doesn't matter because every team in the east is trash and can't stop Lebron in the playoffs.
  
  Now you're worried that larry playing 5-10 minutes is going to ruin a seed that you never cared about?
  
  LOL, this is what happens when you go full on insecure butt hurt. You can't even get your sleeper logic straight.

  I have not obviously seen any tape of his Cavs' practices but I have watched him play in the D-league. He's a foul machine for starters, averaging 3.5 fouls in less than 20 minutes of play because he tries to block every shot. He reminds me a lot of JJ Hickson except slightly more athletic.
  
  I'd rather him stay in the D-league until next year when he can gain some weight and re-learn how to play basketball at the highest level.

  It really doesn't matter what seed they have but its much better for the team overall to have home court throughout the Eastern conference playoffs.
  
  Sorry that you are butthurt over a project not getting minutes on an NBA championship contending team.

  Uhh ya think? The point is you don't think it matters, yet you are so concerned about seeing what Larry can do. You're letting your act get in the way something that really isn't a huge deal. Contending NBA teams add guys to the roster late in the season all the time. They are all low risk moves and Lebron has benefitted from it a couple times in his career now.
  
  Just admit your logic is failed and you can't keep up with your act. It must be exhausting being so insecure about your knowledge of sports on an anonymous forum.

  GM and coach agree with me.

  Is that why the GM signed him? Is that why they continue to call him up to be around the team? Is that why lue threw him in the end of a game on the first day of his contract? Just stop dude, you invent the dumbest arguments. Nobody is fantasizing about Larry turning this team around.

  GM said he was signed for potential impact next year. There is zero expectation to trot him out for any meaningful minutes this season.
  
  He's been regulated back to the D-league again. They have already stated that he will be practicing with the team and playing with the Charge until they think he's ready.
  
  Sorry that the reality of the world goes against your personal fantasy.

  What personal fantasy? I wanted Bogut over Larry. The NBA logic is on my side. Every year contending teams add low risk pieces and if it doesn't work out there is no harm. It has worked out for 2 of LeBron's titles. You can try to fabricate this into everyone here thinking that Larry is our savior (if you have proof please provide it), but that's your problem if you want to keep coming off as an insecure moron.

  Why do you have such a hard on for Larry Sanders?
  
  Bottom line: Larry Sanders will not play a meaningful minute for the Cleveland Cavaliers this season. Reality.

  Sure, but is he as good as Larry Sanders? My god, I've never seen so much hype for D-league players than the Cavs. We have the most loaded roster in the NBA and people are more interested in Sanders, Felder, McRae and Liggins.

  LOL. 3 YEARS AGO.
  
  Might as well sign Tim Duncan because he was pretty good in 2014. Is he available? Just need him for 5-10 minutes a night to give TT a breather.
