Larry Sanders may be ready to make a return to the NBA, and if that's indeed the case, he wants fans to chime in on where they think he should play.

In a pair of tweets sent out on his social media account Monday, the 27-year-old polled his followers on which NBA team "would best utilize his skills" while listing the following franchises: Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, Dallas Mavericks, Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks, and Boston Celtics.

This came weeks after he seemingly trolled fans into thinking he was going to sign with either Golden State or Cleveland - the heavy favorites to return to the NBA Finals for a third year in a row. This coincided with a tweet where he mentioned that whatever team he signed with was going to be a contender.

Sanders declared in a piece for The Players' Tribune in February of last year that he was walking away from the game to deal with mental health concerns, including anxiety and depression.

During his five-year stint with the Bucks, Sanders averaged 6.5 points and 5.8 rebounds. His most efficient year came in 2012-13 when he put up a near double-double of 9.8 points and 9.5 boards.
