Default Nerlens Noel wants a trade

Anything we can offer? A shiny Dwight Powell perhaps?

I have no idea what they'd want.

76ers are mainly looking for guards. I think Powell + Simba + Top10 protected first pick would get it done. Unless someone really offers something better. Mavs do not even have to take equal salary back. Simba would be their potential outlook to play behind Simmons in the future.

Personally, I would not offer anything beyond Simba + Powell, where Powell is more of a salary dump in my eyes. I am not that keen of parting ways with Simba just yet. Main reason is, that Noel had another surgery on his left knee (his ACL was on that also) and there is no reason to think his value is going to be high and my search engine already knows it:

I'd go as far as Simba + Seth + 2nd round pick.

Can't say I've seen a whole lot of him but what little I have seen I'm not all that impressed.
Does he have any offensive game whatsoever?

I havent seen anything that impressive from him, but I know there is a frequent poster who is high on Noel. NO WAY do I come off a 1st round pick. I would do a 2nd rd pick + Powell(which probably isnt enough). Im not ready to ship off Simba yet, but if it came down to him, Id have to let him go.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/.../noelne01.html
He shoots 70% from 3ft or closer. He shoots 30% or worse from anything beyond 3ft. Id rather not trade anything for him, Sign him as a FA flyer sure. Give up assets to get him? Hard pass from me.

I'm seriously not even giving up our high 2nd for Noel.

Yeah he seems like Powell with better rebounding but even less of a jumper. He has some primitive post moves, but mostly gets points on the dump-down and alley-oop. Then again this is only his third season in the league-- or would be if he had actually played.

If only we had the option to get him for Simba, provided we included the right to swap future 2nd-round picks.

But seriously... if Nerlens was healthy (and I understand anyone having trepidation about this) he has the potential to be the best defensive center in the league for the next decade. Do you guys remember the commentary team mentioning the other night that Matrix and David Robinson are the only guys ever to end a season in the top 5 for rebounds and steals? Nerlens could be the third. Give him 33-35mpg... his career per-36 numbers are 12/10/2/2/2 on 50% shooting. Get him in a stable organization with an elite coach and you might have just found 23-year-old Tyson Chandler.

Again, an argument can be made that he might never be healthy, but with the way things have gone for us since winning the title, I'm all over trades for guys with this kind of potential.

I'd be willing to trade a top-5 or so protected first-rounder, plus Simba and Powell (provided he actually has positive value). Get his RFA rights if all you have to do is trade Simba and the 6th or 8th overall pick. Let's not act like lottery picks are sure things. Hell, see if the Sixers want Wes' veteran leadership too. Let's go nuts.

In case the graphic is confusing (hastily thrown together in paint) the only players to put up 12/9.5/2/2/2 on >45% shooting in a single season are Hakeem Olajuwon and David Robinson. These are Nerlens' CAREER per-36 averages. Unless you are currently a contender or have Whiteside/Drummond/Gobert locked up long-term (I think Nerlens can play with the likes of Boogie, KAT and Anthony Davis), you should absolutely be interested in trading for and/or signing Nerlens on the chance that he fulfills his potential as a once-in-a-generation defensive center.

I like Noel just fine, but what would the Sixers want for him? Most of our trade chips are veterans more geared toward contenders...

I think the Mavs can make a competitive offer now that the cat's seemingly out of the bag and Nerlens' desire to be moved is pretty formal. We obviously probably have to offer some form of a first rounder, the sticking point being what year it's for and what sort of protection it has. You also have to hope that they like Simba and see him as a positive asset. I doubt we're going to squeeze Powell into the deal unless we took back some sort of "bad" contracts someone like Gerald Henderson.

I honestly think Powell's deal is so bad that he's going to be hard to trade for at least a year unless he magically becomes twice as good as he currently is.

A top 6-8 pick in what is expected to be a great class AND our most recent 1st rounder just for Noel's rights?!?!?!? Hard pass would be an understatement. Lotto picks are not sure things but Noel isn't either. His health isn't, his offensive game for sure isn't. And while he is a good defender his rebounding is maybe average when he was healthy last year. Whiteside is literally almost double the rebounder Noel was last year. A guy who rebounds low as a defensive center with extremely limited offense in the final year of his rookie deal is not remotely worth a top 8 pick, especially in this draft.

To put it another way, He was the 6th pick... in a draft class that was extremely weak. That's not hindsight, it was called very weak before the draft. Speculated to be one of the weakest possibly ever but certainly in the last 10-15 years. It's been 3 years going on 4 since then. His value has gone down since he hasn't shown he can stay healthy and his improvement has been marginal. So trading a top 6-8 pick in one of the best drafts(heading in at least) for a former 6th in one of the weakest ones, whose value is also down(and 1 year left on rookie deal). Then throwing in simba as well... Little to no sense to me.

Like a kidney stone.

You can't trade a top pick in a loaded draft for a 1-year rental who's going to ditch us for a contender as soon as he gets the chance... A move like that made sense a few years ago, but not now. We need long-term assets to build around.

The stickler for me is that Noel isn't even that good. Heck, I don't think he is even better than a guy like Gorgui Dieng yet will probably want to get paid a lot more.

No thanks.

He's only played two seasons. For a big that's basically nothing.

He's also averaging 13pts, 10reb, 2ast, 2blk, 2stl per 36. That's solid for even a veteran big and speaks to his ability to be a defensive force-- which is something we desperately need. Bogut isn't going to be that. Mejri is hot/cold with Rick and has some injury issues.

My three biggest concerns are in no particular order:
A) loyalty/attitude- guys who ask for a trade tend to be me-first guys.
B) he's expiring off of his rookie contract. The bird rights would transfer and we'd have full Bird, but we could be paying for a rental. For that alone, I'd limit him to a second rounder. I wouldn't even give a first rounder for Steph Curry or Lebron if they were expiring and the only guarantee of staying was full bird rights.
C) Health. Out of 182 possible games, he's played 142. Potential knee problems can kill a 7 footer, particularly when they happen in the first two years in the league.

I would send a Powell+Anderson package for him, if he gives his word that he signs with us. He is an absolute difference maker on defense, and still only 21. A Fultz-Barnes-Noel core would be formidable if Fultz can become a superstar.

IS he ever going to be 100% healthy again? Whats the use in letting Parsons walk if we trade for guys who are also recovering from knee surgery who may never be the same again?

I wouldn't be too worried.

A. We can offer him the most money right?
B. We would have the best sell out there. 3 top 10 talented players, playing complimentary positions under 25 years old with a HOF coach.

If we can't resign him with Barnes and a guy like Fultz or Ball... we are lost forever.

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.

Perhaps Dallas could get into Noel talks in a way where Bogut is traded to x team which sends late 1st round pick + bad contract to Sixers and Mavs get Noel. Uncertain with Noel though, it is not like Mavs have done great things with people who have bad work ethics. But his attitude may be mostly affected by his situation.

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.

Nerlens fired his agent and hired Dan Fegan. That's a good sign for our prospects, if anything. As is what I perceive to be a much less robust market for him on the trade block. I felt like he was worth a lightly-protected pick leading into this season (and to put it lightly, I was in the minority, particularly around these parts) but right now, with his injury/attitude concerns, I think you could probably get him for a lottery-protected pick plus a useful player. If we called the Sixers today and offered Simba plus a lottery-protected pick that would likely convert into two 2nd-rounders, I think there's a decent chance Philly accepts. On top of that, I think you can sign him this summer at well below the max. Concerns aside, I still think he's exactly the kind of player the Mavs should be willing to gamble on. The upside is immense, and if you sign him for less than $16-18M a year he's unlikely to be difficult to trade if things don't work out.

Either way, I think he is a tremendous defensive talent, and if he can be had for an Anderson+Powell package, I would totally do the trade, provided that he gives a verbal commitment. I would not trade draft picks, but low ceiling rotational players like Anderson or Powell aren't hard to replace.

I wouldn't even worry too much about any sort of verbal commitment... Unless he took his QO this coming summer, we'd have his RFA rights. And I'd be shocked if a player with Nerlens' injury history would take that kind of risk when there is an offer approaching $100M on the table.

100M? You sure think high of him. I view him as an Aminu type of pickup.

Nah, he is much better than that, certainly defensively. Probably more athletic too, and a lot younger.

Noel is not a 100mill player.

First, I 100% agree with you or rather 200% (see below). He's got a LOT to prove before any team should give him that much money. And most of what he has to prove is not related to his basketball skills.

Second, keep in mind that in the next few years, we are going to have to change what $100 million means. Steph Curry in the last year of his upcoming contract extension could make $47 million ... in that one year. For the 5 years, he would make over $200 million. Things are about to go absolutely crazy for NBA player salaries.

I'm not crazy about giving up any assets for Noel but am wondering what better options might be out there for next season.
I'm not seeing a lot of hope for our center situation next season.

Hammons must really suck if he can't see one meaningful minute while our starting center has been out for several games. Not sure why he is even on the roster but I said the same thing about Mejri this time last season when McGee was out and Powell got all of the backup minutes but was getting punished by other centers.

Thing is, a LOT of teams have significant concerns with his attitude, which is in addition to his health. Dude makes a pretty significant impact, but he's yet to prove that he can be a good teammate and stay healthy. For every Dennis Rodman, there are a dozen late-career Rajon Rondos and Metta World Peaces.

He's also extremely offensively limited and isn't terribly fundamentally sound, which means if the knee injury limits his athleticism, he may see an enormous dip on his performance.

Lots of potential and could be the only good starting-caliber center available, but he just has so many question marks

1) Attitude
2) Health
3) fundamentals
4) asset cost
5) ability to keep him long-term if he does well

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

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.
