Suns would be wise to bring Len back at the right price. John Henson’s deal with the Bucks would be a good bench mark. Henson signed a 4 year 44 million dollar extension two summers ago. Similar to Len, Henson has played both as a starter and a reserve center who makes a difference with his length and defensive capabilities.
A contract like that is manageable, especially when you consider former Suns player Miles Plumlee is on a more expensive deal. The Suns should look to re-sign Len while looking for a trade for Tyson Chandler. With players like Griffin and Millsap no longer under consideration, the Suns will need someone to man the middle. As a player who is only 24-years-old, Alex Len still fits the timeline, and can be an important player for the Suns’ present and future years to come.
