After rumors of the Cleveland Cavaliers being in serious discussions toward a deal with free agent Larry Sanders, it seems that even further speculation is showing a high chance of the Cavs landing the center.
On Saturday, Sanders posted a photo to his Instagram account, saying goodbye to the city of Los Angeles, where he’s been living for the past couple years. The following day, Sanders was spotted at LAX (Los Angeles International Airport), where he spoke with a fan who was headed towards Cleveland. That fan, Dennis Wells, tweeted out a photo and interaction with the center and indeed confirmed that Sanders said he was headed to Cleveland to join the Cavaliers.
