Goodbye, Lakers! Hello, Knicks! Officially signing a 2.18-meter tall center

Reporter Bondy reported,that the Knicks signed Alex Len to a training camp contractand then insider Siegel disclosed that Len signed an Exhibit-9 contract.

The so-called Exhibit-9 contract mainly means that if a player under this type of contract gets injured, the team only needs to pay a one-time fee to release him; whereas other types of non-guaranteed contracts become guaranteed if the player is injured during the season, requiring the team to continue paying salary until the player recovers or the season ends.

Len was born on June 16, 1993, is 32 years old this year, stands 2.18 meters tall as a big center, was the 5th overall pick in the 2013 first round, and has career NBA regular season averages of 6.7 points and 5.3 rebounds per game; in the playoffs, he averages 2.8 points and 2.5 rebounds. His total career earnings have reached approximately $47.54 million.

Last season, Len played for both the Kings and Lakers. While with the Lakers, he appeared in 10 regular season games, starting 4 times, averaging 12.2 minutes with only 2.2 points and 3.1 rebounds; he played two playoff games with negligible contributions.

I tried to find some highlight plays of Len to praise him, but all I found were missed open shots or getting blocked; he often appears as a backdrop in “top bloopers” or “best plays” compilations, and even former teammate LeBron didn’t spare him.

The 37-year-old Lopez looks almost like a sports car compared to Len.

Finally found a scoring clip, but it was like “a chef ignoring the recipe and studying military strategy,” as he threw in a three-pointer and even made a taunting gesture.

Simply put, Len no longer has the ability to compete in the NBA. Looking at his entire career, he hasn’t lived up to being a 5th overall pick. We might soon see news of the Knicks waiving him for a contract overseas.

By the way, the 2013 draft was truly “full of talent,” yet considered one of the worst drafts in history, with top picks like Bennett, Oladipo, and Otto Porter... although Giannis also came from that draft, picked 15th overall in the first round.

Back then, the Bucks showed remarkable insight, unearthing a historic-level gem from the rough draft pool!
