Nerlens Noel wants a trade

[Bryan_Wilson]

The research that rival teams have done on Nerlens Noel is “not good,” per Wojnarowski, who adds that those clubs haven’t gotten good reports about the way the Sixers big man carries himself, and his habits. Teams are still interested in acquiring Noel, but they don’t want to give up a whole lot for him, so it’ll be interesting to see if Philadelphia eventually takes what it can get. The Sixers would probably love to see Noel put in a couple healthy and productive months before the deadline to improve his stock.

No thanks. Last thing Rick needs is another headache to deal with.

The good thing about it is that there is nothing to lose this season through getting Noel. Him being bad may actually help Mavs. It would also be better to have him for a half season and not work out, rather than try to sign him long term during free agency.

It is safe to assume Mavs are going to draft point guard, so they will target bigs in the free agency. This would be similar to Rondo case where Mavs traded for him but also before the trade they were aiming to sign him once free agency came around.

To clarify, I am not a big fan of Noel. I liked him before all the injuries, but right now... I just thing Mavs have nothing to lose trying him out. It is not like Mavs are going to get late 1st rounder for Bogut in this draft anyways and there is no headache in Dallas roster at the moment.

Riley is probably looking for this year's draft pick, nothing else.

I wouldnt give him 20m, much less 100m. He's proven nothing in my mind to warrant a large contract. 2 seasons. Wow. Cant stay healthy, spect attitude. No thanks

WOW. Did not even recognize him with this haircut. I think the positive is that he is really bringing his value down with these comments. Particularly being too big player to be playing 8 minutes. I am sure many GMs are not going to answer any calls from 76ers after hearing this.

I mean, this kind of attitude is actually good if the player can stay healthy and produce. I do not have problems with this kind of comments unless the player actually can be good enough to stand by those words. Any team that is going to take him, is taking a chance. There can not be many teams left that really want him, only those that have nothing to lose and can take a chance with him.

That attitude is not what we need right now for a rebuild. It's contagious. I wouldn't take him for free at this point.
