Alex Len has been amazing. I love him at PF. I said in the beginning of the season that we should start Len and Tyson together. I think Suns need to do it to end the season and for next season too.

It seems we waive players after won games (1st Grizz game - Humphries, Magic - Weems). I wonder who's getting cut tonight?

They really should have brought Knight back. He knows how to lose games to Memphis in epic fashion.

At this point, there is NO reason Booker and Len should lose their starting positions regardless of who is healthy next year.

If Phoenix intends to use Len at the 4 going forward, we should either draft a C to replace Tyson and trade him this offseason, or include him in a sign and trade for Whiteside, who is 27 and better, and who Miami doesn't seem to want to keep and likely can't due to their cap situation.

Alex Len is not part of our core.
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

:lol:

People are always jumping the gun.

How about we draft Skal at 12/13 and groom him to be another Chandler.

Whiteside is the exact opposite of Chandler mentally. No thanks to another headcase.

Sorry, but if you think Chandler is better for this team, you're out of your mind. I'm not sure I want Whiteside either, but if you have to choose between him and Whiteside, it isn't even close. One used to be a great defensive player and a middling offensive player. One is that today. Chandler's mentality has been here all year, and all he's done is rave about how mature and eager to learn everybody is, while watching us have the most disappointing team in franchise history which he was a huge part of. His underperformance is as big a reason as any for our season. Give me the great player who doesn't work hard over the awful player who busts his ass. If anything, it just shows the potential the guy who doesn't practice as hard has.

Over Whiteside? Its not even a question. Dont get me wrong, Chandler is a shell of his former self and will not be able to contribute when we actually start to win. But Whiteside is just not what this team needs. He cant shoot, and has questionable character. His blocks belies the fact that he's not a good defender, and Miami actually has a better defense with him off the floor. Im all for playing Len at the 4, and finding a replacement for Chandler. But Whiteside is not the answer.

I doubt Miami wants Tyson either, and anyone else for that matter. At least Len is playing well beside him, and perhaps he has something to do with that. And he's putting up decent numbers himself the last couple of games. If that can continue into next season, no rush to sell low if that lineup is working to start next season.

But in theory, sure I'd like Whiteside more than Tyson. So would all teams. I don't think many are going to be looking to trade for someone Tyson's age and contributions for that money.

I haven't seen enough of Whiteside to know what skills and professionalism he has, but I do have him on my fantasy team, and from that standpoint, he looks GREAT!

Len with probably his best all around game this season, showed up on both ends and made the most of his touches, I'll give him the props he deserves. Fine with the outcome, just hope this isn't a regular occurence, we need to finish the season with less than 20 wins
