Listen to the answer when they ask "Is that a hard role to play?" What a genuinely good dude.

I'd be all for trading Len and making Big Sauce our backup 5. We can get basically the same production for a fraction of the price.

Whoa. When Len starts, he's overall as good as Chandler.
Don't drink that Watson Kool-Aid ... Watson will say that Len needs to improve his play on stretch 4s and 5s, but then doesn't ask the same thing of Chandler.
Going forward, I think a center tandem of Len, Williams and sometimes Bender will serve the team well.

I don't know, I've never been a huge Len fan and I don't see him being worth what he's going to get paid this summer.

[UglyTruth]

If Len's gonna demand top dollar, then why not just replace him with Alan Williams?

Well, there is that. We'll have to see what the market can bear and what he wants.

[Split T]

I'd love to keep him at a decent price, but I'm worried we're looking at almost 20 million a year. I think Williams ceiling is as a backup, so if we do move Len, we'd need to find our starting C somewhere.

False dichotomy. We should trade Chandler and give both Len and Williams more minutes at center.

Yes.

[Superbone]

I think we can all agree that Chandler is not going to be around for Phoenix's first NBA championship. At least not in a player role.

1. Highly unlikely we're trading Chandler
2. Are you willing to pay Len 18 million next year to backup Chandler?

[carey]

1. Anything is possible.
2. Nope.

Let's be realistic, he's nearly 40, he's probably not even gonna be alive for Phoenix's first NBA championship.

Hell I doubt most of us on this forum will even be.
