Horcats should have moved him at the deadline since they had concern about going into the luxury tax.

Nicolas Batum - $25 mil, 2 yrs
Bismack Biyombo - $17 mil, 1yr
Marvin Williams- $15 Mil, 1yr
Cody Zeller- $14 mil, 1yr
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist-$13 mil, 1yr

And not much building blocks.

Lakers may have been buyers after all the AD drama fell through. I know the Mavericks would like to have been in play but would they have the assets? Knicks, Nets, Timberwolves, there were plenty of buyers for a all star point guard this past season. Probably letting him walk for nothing in the end.

Dude on 2k updates already sent Kemba to the Celts and Kyrie to the Nets.. Wtf.

I’m taking it to the Celts with Kemba I don’t care I see green I see red!

[Spud2nique]

I would like to say I like Kemba and hate to see him go green. Hate it.

Can somebody explain to me why on earth Lebron would want JR Smith on the Lakers? I simply don’t understand. After the 2018 finals game 1 debacle.

Russell is meeting with the Timberwolves 1st thing. It will be crazy if the Knicks, Lakers, and Mavericks strike out on Kryrie, Kemba, and Russell. Who would have thought that a couple of months ago?

The media creates a lot of hype and much of it doesn’t play out.

Looks like CLP has faith in Alex Len. Imagine that

If the cost wouldn't be too high, I'd do it. Playing next to Trae would make him look a lot better than he did for Orlando, and I do believe he has the capacity to improve significantly.

Has he demonstrated that he can play in this league?

Uncertain.

Leave it to Peo to ask the right skeptical question.

Some people are still high on him.  Cleatly there's some talent there, but he was suspended earlier in the year and there are questions about his work ethic.

As @nathan2331 suggests, it may be worth a tire-kick if the price is reasonable.

How much would it cost us? He has the body to dominate. Does he want to be great? 

[IheartVolt]

For some reason this year the teams whoring themselves to the "superstars" seems extra vile.

The Lakers are out there like they are entitled to sign everyone. I will be so happy when the NBA's weakest star finally retires. When this fckr is put in a retirement home one day he will have to have at least 2 more stars there with him. Disgusting superstar

Guys we are not signing another center. I know some do not wanna recognize the Len played well last year and has earned the chance to prove he belongs in the starting linup. It's just an chance for the guy! If he fails we will know but I don't think he is gonna fail! I believe he will surprise us all and improve even more

Len is a 25MPG player. Another  center is needed.

I'm on the Nerlens Noel bandwagon.  He's cheap plays excellent defense and rebounds.  Exactly what we'll need with Len.  I'm also going on record saying I want James Wiseman in the 2020 draft.  I don't think he'll go number 1 and will be available for the Hawks pick.  Also want LaMelo Ball, 6'7" back up point guard, with the Nets pick.

Proceed to shoot me...lol

It's not a matter of wanting to replace Len or a failure to recognize him as a player.  It's an acknowledgement that, right now, he's the ONLY center on the roster. Clearly we'll be signing another.
