I'm quite sure we should be all over Nerlens Noel.
Reasons?
There were rumours about us being in interested in trading for him going back to last year. We were working out LaMarcus Aldridge a couple of weeks ago, so we're open to adding a big man. And third and most important, isn't he like our only chance to at least slow down a Jokic or Anthony Davis in a playoff series?
From his perspective we should be pretty attractive as well, he could possibly start for us if he integrates quickly, can play an important role since we don't have a defensively capable center on our roster - and get easy buckets on offense playing off of Luka and Kyrie. Which other playoff team can offer that package?
So I think it's pretty strange it's that quiet on the Noel front, not only concerning us but any teams.
What do you think?
Welcome.
It will be interesting to see what he has left. Can he be the player he was for the Knicks over two years ago? He was not a very big stats player but played well for short periods of time.
Dallas is filled with limited centers, so I can understand them not wanting to bring another one in. Although, if he can recapture his 15-20 minute play he had with the Knicks two years ago, he would have been a good gamble.
The Nets signing is a little weird. It was reported he wanted to go to a contender. The Nets had an impressive win last night, but they are not a contender. Did no other contenders have interest? Or does Noel think this is the best chance for minutes?
