Suns sign Trevor Ariza for 1 year, $15m
Re: Suns sign Trevor Ariza for 1 year, $15m
I don't think Len's biggest issue was that he "brought the ball down" or that kind of thing. His biggest failing was that in 4 years he was never able to consistently hit the 15-footer. He was awful at it and the rest of his game suffered as a result.

I hated the Len pick when it happened. I was uspet that they passed on Ben McLemore though.

I don't know man, he couldn't even roll on a pick and roll. He had a hard time catching the ball and when he did, he'd get it stripped more often than not. Only reason he needed to develop a jumper is because he couldn't be a roll man.

Just a hunch, but it always seemed to me that Len did everything better when there was no pressure. I bet he has great hands and a great shot in practice.

So is the pick we traded for him, ironically.

It's only right that they now work together to become a formidable duo and everybody will say what a great trade it was.

A good sign about our mistake letting him go, is the endless propositions he is receiving right now... oh wait...
It doesn’t matter if he can put it together LATER, right now is clear that the current league wide perception, is that he is a waste of money, so I’m fine with his departure. Always looked him as a boy living on an extended scholarship, not even pushing his way to his next contract.

If Bridges sucks, does that redeem the Knight trade?Superbone wrote: ↑Tue Jul 03, 2018 4:41 pmIt's only right that they now work together to become a formidable duo and everybody will say what a great trade it was.
