a name that hasnt come up too much but I feel would really help underneath..

Phoenix has a plethora of bigs and Len is a solid player who over over 8pt/8rb/1blk in 20 min pg..  He's only 24 and is on pace for career highs in offensive and defensive rebound % amongst other categories (seen in article below)...

Can be had for a late first round pick..possibly?

Len can veto any trade, because he will lose his Bird rights if traded.  This would limit his salary next year, and accordingly I would expect him to use his veto for any team that does not have cap room next summer.

This to me is an example of asset collection gone wrong. The suns originally signed Chandler as the first piece in their Lamarcus Aldridge FA pitch. They almost landed him and then he went to the Spurs. Chandler has never fit in their plans since but they have continued to play him. They now have Chandler, Monroe (should have been bought out right away), Bender and Chriss. Out of those 4 Monroe and Chandler have started more games and averaged more min per game then Len or Bender. This makes little sense for a bottom feeder team without a legit starting NBA point guard on its roster. The Cs have 4 PGs who could start for the Suns.

He has a no-trade clause because if he remains with the Suns, in the off-season he will have 4 straight yrs with them, which means full bird rights. If he goes anywhere else, he will only have 1 yr experience which means non-bird rights, which is actually a type of bird rights.
