Just when it looked like it was all sorted out...

[WorldFootballStore 89]

Another DNP for Monroe, it looks like the rotation is sorting itself out. Monroe will be bought out soon.

[Foppatosakic 139]

Those per 36's doe. 

[backyardballer 211]

Highly regret not picking him up - but you never know with the Suns.

 

Seems like Monroe will be bought out once Booker returns but we've heard this story before...

[Lakers_Fan2 354]

Chandler starting just is emblematic of how stupid this team is. 

[Unknownmindset 74]

hi guys, just wanted to say #FREELEN 

 

let my boy free he wants to get blocks & boards the points are just the sprinkles on the cake! 

[Joeklebba 563]

Len is clearly better than Chandler and should be starting based on that, but at the same time its fair to say that part of the reason he’s able to put up such strong numbers in limited action is because he’s playing against the 2nd teamers.

 

He should definitely play more than 18 minutes, and I’d be pleased if he became the starter, but Id also be concerned with him routinely being in foul trouble and his usage slipping quite a bit if he was on the court with Booker and warren for extended periods.

[Lakers_Fan2 354]

This franchise is such a joke. 

[jspeed 342]

Bender was big down the stretch tonight.  

[affliction 1,649]

Mike james waived 

 

The dysfunction continues 

[affliction 1,649]

Chandler starting

 

at this point I think the Suns are scared to permanently bench him or it’s some kind of unwarranted loyalty it’s bizarre. 

[affliction 1,649]

Chandler played 31 mins to 16 for Alex back to the bench for Len 

[Lakers_Fan2 354]

Just fyi he didnt have a great game but did get 30 mns last night. Gonna be bumpy but at some pt monroe will get bought out. 

[rush007 271]

It's not about Monroe. Monroe has not played in 4 out of last 5 games. Len got less than 18 mins in 3 of these games. He still does not have a solid role yet, but providing enough so that you can't cut him.

They could cut Monroe and trade Chandler yet they’ll still manage to play him 20 mpg.

Agree..

The best move for PHX is trade Chandler and cut Monroe...

more minutes for Len and Chriss

Bender from the bench

[rush007 271]

Guys, do you think he's still worth the stash? His minutes are low (18ish) despite Monroe not playing, big games are coming only sporadically, his usage low is very low (7) in recent games. What do you think is going on? Haven't watched the games, is Chriss hurting Len? In that case it may be worth to cut it.

Chriss doesn't have a big impact on anybody at phoenix. Whole offense runs through tj and booker. Lens game is limited to setting picks, getting a few easy shots and grabbing boards (which he was horrendous at today.._. hence benching). I'm still expecting him to do well, and if they fall out of playoff race he'd be the first to get a big boost in min

[backyardballer 211]

Should eventually get minutes especially with Monroe now out of the picture (essentially). Only issue is when, as Chandler appears to be locked into the starting role and playing 30 minutes for the foreseeable future.

[Zippi 71]

One thing that crossed my mind recently: With him becoming a unrestricted free agent after they declined his option in the summer (showing they are not really interested in keeping him long term); are the Suns even interested in playing him big minutes or do they like him in his bench role to keep the interest of other teams low (to possibly keep him as a cheap bench player) ? How is his situation comparable to Okafor in Brooklyn?
