What to do with Len and Chandler? 

Post#1 » by Damkac » Mon Oct 24, 2016 8:48 am

Len is getting new contract after this season and most likely it will be over 10 milions a year. Chandler is getting 13 milions until 2018/19 season. I don't think paying 25+ milions for pair of non-allstar centers is a good idea. Who should be traded and what return do you expect?

It's kind of hard to decide when we haven't seen them play regular season games this season, and also if we were to trade one or both, who it would be for, so for now I will say keep both.

Around $25M for two decent centers is not an overpaid on those days. Bender and Chriss have low salaries, so we can pay other players until their extensions.

I think it is better to keep both and trade Chandler in his last year if Bender and/or Chriss plays an starting role.
