The 25-year-old Len spent the last five years in Phoenix after being drafted fifth overall in 2013. Unable to find the offer he desired last offseason, he remained in limbo until late September, when he signed his qualifying offer to remain with the Suns but was swiftly renounced at the beginning of July when Phoenix had other plans with their cap space and didn’t plan on bringing him back.
