All things considered, I would be totally fine bringing him back here for another year to see if he and Rick can get on the same page and we can have another go at molding him into our backup center. He is very far from a perfect player, but I like how disruptive he can be on defense, even if he makes almost as many mistakes as good plays. I kind of view him as a defensive big version of a volume bench shooter, where he can have value in the right role but shouldn't be a 30mpg guy because of the mistakes.

That problem is that backup defensive bigs just don't ever seem to get the time of day under Rick. And we have Salah that fills that role...who also doesn't get playing time.
I almost wish we'd draft Bamba just to see what Rick does with him.
I think Rick has done a good job developing young guards, but I'd like to see the same with big men. He has done well with Powell, but still seems to yank his minutes when other players like DFS are healthy.

@OneLeggedFade41: Noel would have to get 65.8 mill 3 yr contract at minimum this summer to break even for rejecting Mavs offer...
I don't think he makes that rest of his career now...

The second year of the deal is a player option, league sources said.

Minimum deal. Noel should feel like an idiot now, but since everyone is a hero in their own story I guess he feels justified

Noel leaving for a minimum deal tells you a lot about the internal relationship in hindsight. There were always those that felt like he could come back "for the right prize". Nope...

At least pot is illegal in OKC. In Lakerland, the management would have to pick him up to play games at the local dispensary.

I disagree. My bet would be to look for him at the place with the best hot dogs. :-O

There were many huge deals handed out in 2016, which has made it difficult for agents to manage expectations with their players in the aftermath.
“The summer of 2016 was so unique because a lot of guys were agreeing to these huge deals shortly after midnight,” one NBA agent explained. “Because of that, there were guys who had a really good offer from a team – a great value – but they were hesitant to sign thinking they could hold out and get one of those crazy deals they saw. We were trying to explain to guys, ‘There’s a limit to the amount of available money!’ We had one player in particular who was hesitant to sign a contract that would pay him over $10 million per year, which was by far the biggest contract he’d ever been offered, just because he was looking at Luol Deng and what he got and saying, ‘But I’m better than him!’ We had to persuade him to sign this amazing deal. Because so many monster deals were handed out, there were quite a few guys who were hesitant to sign 72 hours later – even if it was a great contract. That summer made it harder to set expectations, mainly with the players who don’t understand the market.”
