Yes -- will not be surprised if they let Len go as a free agent, because, of course they will keep Chandler and ensure he starts and plays whenever he wants to.
Exhibit "A" of why the Suns need a basketball expert in the FO, not some drone to take heat for his boss' bad decisions...

I haven't seen much from Josh Gray to think that he has a place on this team. But whatever.

2. Lakers: Devin Booker
O’Connor: Booker has proved to be a high-end scorer who has also developed immensely as a playmaker. The only reason Kristaps Porzingis isn’t the selection is because of injury concerns, but he’s still right there despite them.

Tjarks: The first bomb!

Danny Chau: KOBE SYSTEM.

O’Connor: I just don’t see how you can take a guy with his track record of injuries and a torn ACL with the second pick over Booker.

Tjarks: Would you take Embiid over Booker if he were in this draft? Or do you feel like Embiid’s ceiling is higher so it would be worth the gamble? Or do you feel like KP is even more injury prone? That would be a strong take.

Chau: It’s a horrible question of quality or quantity. Embiid has had three major injuries to his back, knee, and foot. Porzingis has had injuries all over his body in a very short amount of time, but none of them were as severe as any one of Embiid’s, until the ACL tear. I feel like “injury prone” would be a label more appropriate for Porzingis, though I suppose it could apply to both.

As for Booker, sure: Booker is one of the purest spiritual successors to Kobe. But, I don’t know, is that healthy for Lakers fans?

Verrier: The franchise functions as if Kobe were still its best player, so it makes sense. I’m not the biggest Booker fan, but I defend him the same way I once did Kyrie during his early years: The (reasonable) gripes about his defense have obscured just how good of a scorer he is and how much progress he’s making as a playmaker.

If Booker were the pick here, the ripple effect would become super interesting. The Lakers’ core would suddenly become Booker, Brandon Ingram … and Jayson Tatum? Or, if the Celtics stay at no. 1 in last year’s draft, Josh Jackson? And will the Kyrie comp become even more pronounced if LeBron joins the Lakers?

When you talk about Bender not being salvageable because his mental make-up is not being aggressive enough (even though he is 19), I think you are nuts. But when I read this article about Chriss, I can't find a way his mental make-up is salvageable because he talks as if the world is against him and there is nothing he can do about it. It is a completely different mindset than "the world is against me and I am going to show everyone how wrong they were about me."

Does that make me racist?
