The Sanders family is making no secret of the fact that they want to go to Las Vegas, with Deion Sanders confirming as much during an event in which he was heard telling Raiders coach Antonio Pierce he wants the AFC side to draft his boys.
Shedeur and Shilo Sanders are set to enter the NFL Draft next year, with Shedeur expected to be a top pick.
Rumors that the Colorado quarterback wants to go to Vegas have been circulating for some time now. But Coach Prime confirmed the desire by telling Pierce straight-up that he wants him to take both of his sons.
“Now I just need you to do one thing,” Prime told the Raiders HC while they addressed an audience. “I need you to draft those Sanders boys next year.”

Needless to say, Raiders fans were pumped after hearing Sanders ask for his boys to play for their team.

“Deion cool with AP. I can see AP getting one more year, if it doesn’t work out, maybe Deion heads to Vegas or someone else (that is if we get the Sanders boys, but how do we not at this point.),” another added.

The Los Angeles Lakers have gone from starting their season 3-0 to 12-11 now. Such a drastic downfall has created a huge void in the Lakers’ roster. They are now looking for some fresh names to accompany the likes of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. With lots of names appearing on the radar, Gilbert Arenas knows exactly who must join the Los Angeles-based team.
Speaking about the sorry state of the Lakers, Arenas was asked about who would be a perfect fit for the team. Between Zach LaVine and Jimmy Butler, Arenas chose LaVine. “Zach LaVine. Jimmy Butler, the way he plays now? I’m good,” Arenas said. “I don’t need another guy who’s just gonna disappear just whenever. I don’t need fourth-quarter Jimmy right now. I need someone that’s gonna get us along,” said the former NBA star.
The 42-year-old further pointed out that both Anthony Davis and LeBron James are now on the injury list. And indeed, Arenas seems to have got a point here. The last time Butler played over 70 games in an NBA season was way back in 2016-17. Getting a reputation as being injury-prone, Butler has missed five games so far this season for the Miami Heat. Well, speaking of new recruits, the Lakers also have some big names on their radar for the season.
