THE CRUCIFIX: Cato: Wood isn't thrilled w/ his role...Will depart in the summer

[Mavs2021]

Help me out on Noel.  When he was with the Mavs, I did not see a lot of the teams game.  I didn't have league pass because the Mavs werent very good.   I did see a game live and thought he was pretty active and surprisingly had a pretty decent touch.  

But looking at ESPN, he played 22 games in 2016 and 30 games in 2017.  He started 18 games total in his stay here.  2016 he averaged 8 and 7 and in 2017 he averaged 4 and 6.   

When did this offer supposedly happen and why in the world were they offering 70 million?    I know he was a former top 5 pick and offers versatility on defense, but 70 million?    Whose decision was that to make that offer?

After the usual off-season fuck-ups in roster construction the Mavs found themselves without a center.

So they traded Justin Anderson, two 2nd round picks (virtually/eventually), Bogut for Noel in February 2017.

First move by Carlisle was to bring the major young acquisition Noel off the bench on a team just playing for ping-pong balls.

Needless to say they f***** the tank up, too. 

Mavs offer Noel a 70/4 extension in August after investing significant assets in the trade, which he turned down.

During opening media day Carlisle publically informed Noel that he would not be the starting C.

Noel was pissed. Played on the QO, ate Hot Dogs at halftime and left in summer.

Mavs fucked up another tank...then drafted Doncic/Brunson.

Just the usual Mavs sh*t.
