Mavs get Alex Len; Suns get Nerlens Noel
Nerlens doesn't play because the Mavs obviously just don't like the guy but I think the Suns would find a way to use his athleticism with or without Chandler and Monroe. Nerlens is tantalizingly talented but clearly the league has already cooled on his off-court persona and he does not seem destined to get the big payday he was dreaming of this summer, perhaps a run with the Suns will inspire a second look or get him to readjust his attitude.
Alex Len is probably just 2nd team depth but on a system team (as opposed to the trainwreck the Phoenix Suns are), I think his hustle and teamwork could find some admirers. He doesn't fit the up and down style of the Suns, which I think has led him to be underappreciated, I think Coach Carlyle will maximize his efforts.
Their contracts are virtually identical and clearly neither team wants to commit fully to the player they currently have. The irony is I bet both guys get more playing time on the other team. Both guys are clearly tradebait, unless they fit better as throw-ins on bigger deals, why not flip them for each other?
