Ahhh. I thought about us catching Len when that other trade whoever it was trying to get him didn't work out. Groovy.

Good stuff!

Just needed another big body for 10 or so minutes a game. So this works.

1 pt 2 reb 53% FT%

Is this what we can expect from him?

I remember feeling this way when the Lakers traded for Luka.

For a stopgap move, I'm not mad. And, he may prove to be better than advertised. Sometimes it takes the right situation. Either way, we get some much needed depth in the front court. Good job, Rob!

I guess they wanted a vet over a young player, but I don't see Len having any meaningful impact.

A few are reporting Christian Wood gets cut but not sure how reputable

Alex Len is a big body.
That's what we needed.
Can't really complain - not costing us much.
Needed a backup and body for Hayes. Can't just rely on Hayes, Jemison and Koloko. Needed a legit 7 ft, 260+ lb guy.

Best of the underwhelming options imo.

Just need him to eat up 5-10 min with defense and rebounding.

Shams is reporting LA will waive Wood
