Alex Len Discussion: Welcome The Big Ukranian

Yeah I justified this one because we needed size, but he is putrid. I prefer having a 7 foot tree out there.
Accept we missed it and waive him. 80 years old Kieff was better than him

 

Again …. he had a few moments and was battling in his limited minutes. I don’t think he’s the “less than zero” he’s being painted here always. Zero … maybe but still.

 

…. you’re just mean.

 

I've never seen so many one handed tap outs. Some helpful. Some unnecessary. Like. Just use both hands.

 

He seem to have lost the ability to play basketball unlike in his younger years lol

 

In Ukrainian? I think it’s “bad cracka”

 

Lol..unfortunately this is looking like one of those moves, that was done simply, for the sake of doing something.

 

This made sense at the time, we had no idea the small ball would work this well and had no enforcer/strong big in the roster. There wasn't anyone else available.

It's a vet min, I think we will survive this decision

 

Stu was like Oh no... yes, Yes YES!!!

It was hilarious.

 

it was kind of a step back, so maybe that was what prompted the reaction?

 

He was already at the hotel?

Why couldn't we have just left him there. I wish someone would've asked Rob if he watched Len play in the past 3 years. Like at all. We don't have a scouting department, so maybe he didn't. Maybe he relied on the first thing that popped up on YouTube

 

…. and of course why they didn’t cut him for Jemison. But as I paraphrased LeBron earlier … if by the playoff deadline it was clearly obvious to everyone we didn’t anything beyond one 2nd string center in Hayes and if they legitimately thought still they had a puncher’s chance then “f*** them intangibles and limited asset values with keeping first Kieff and then Shake on the roster rather than bringing Jemison on too like Goodwin?

 

Yup, another whiff by Rob. Wasn’t there anyone associated with the team telling him that Jemison could actually give us more, defensively than Len?
Seems like this could have been avoided if there was an assistant GM position- someone who could show him that Len would be a bad option.

 

i really think it's a huge leap to have expected jemison to be ready for playoff basketball.

further, i'm guessing rob wasn't interested in the optics of swaying a player who was about to sign elsewhere to join you, then dumping said player. had we done that, the next guy who's thinking of signing elsewhere might just do it.

len's non-contribution is a non-issue for me. there wasn't a path to playable center in the buyout market, nor were koloko or jemison going to do anything against the wolves' front line.

jj himself said he stopped playing hayes because we couldn't score with him on the floor. how does jemison change that?

 

Len is main reason why Lakers lost lol.
Stubborn JJ didn't even try him more than 1 minute in garbage time Wven DeAndre played for Denver.How do you know that he would suck ,at least he could get a few more rebounds
