12. Alex Len
(Trade Value: C)
There is no doubt that there will be teams outside of Phoenix with interest in Alex Len in free agency this summer. If the Suns want to keep him, and are able to swat off any other potential offers, then retaining his services for the foreseeable future will be a priority – how high a priority, however, remains to be seen. If he is re-signed, then it is possible he will earn at or around an average of $11M a year for the next four years. For a player who has a career average of 6.9 points and 6.4 rebounds, and has never averaged in double-digits in either category for a single season in his career, that will be a pretty steep price to pay, even under the new salary cap. Phoenix could still potentially sign-and-trade him, or find a buyer next season if they were for some reason desperate to move him. In either case, he could still hold first round pick value, and potentially low-lottery value, on the trade market – although that is no guarantee.
