And since the Bucks always switch on D, they don't necessarily care who ends up on who in transition D. They will switch before the possession really gets going depending on where guys are.

Denver has too many guards and wants to dump Nurkic, Philly needs guards and wants to dump Noel (but actually needs to dump Okafor), Rockets need a center and want to dump D-Mo hmm I can't immediately see how this is going to get a superstar to the Knicks so I'm not going to think about it any more

Healthy D-Mo would've been nice, but if he were healthy, he would've already been on the roster. Surprised Morey hasn't turned Ennis and second-rounder into Noel yet.

Noel's value is so weird. People are saying someone will give him a 15+ million /yr dollar contract next year but also he isn't valuable enough for someone to give up any assets for. I don't understand how some team will blow that much cap space on him, but another wouldn't see the value of getting his bird rights. Is he just one of those strange in-between guys we don't have a good sense of value for yet, or is there something else that's strange? I feel like this is one of those "76ers have no leverage!" situations where they are ignoring the fact that any team that wants him still has to bid against every other team in the league that thinks he has value.

There are some Lakers fans who think he's the second coming and willing to break up the core to get Noel. Seriously. I don't know how many decent rim protectors the Lakers need to burn through before people realize that their defense is bad because they play multiple god awful perimeter defenders at the same time pretty much entire games.

I've gone through it exhaustively and you are looking at maybe three teams . Portland Dallas and New Jersey. New Jersey only wants him of they trade brook, which hasn't happened yet so... Dallas would take him but the only thing that the Sixers would want from them are ... I don't know. Not a good match. Portland makes sense but I have a feeling they will force Philadelphia to take crabbe which can't happen for another few months. Houston used to be in here but capela has emerged as being as good as Noel anyway in most respects and much cheaper. Also with New Jersey and Dallas they could just sign him as an rfa or FA (philly may not QO him) so why trade anything for a guy whose top side is maybe top 15 center.

Spring Break My Heart posted:Rockets are currently only 1.5 games behind the Spurs and with a better SRS, so not impossible they haven't factored that in. Even with that it still seems extremely high. I'd like to know exactly how they're calculating that so I should probably contact them. http://www.basketball-reference.com/friv/mvp.cgi The likelihood of a 3 seed or worse winning 60+ is possible but pretty low. It happened in the 1998 West and 1981 East. But yes, in 1981 Julius Erving on the 3 seed 76ers (tied for best record in league) did win MVP.

I know this is a Blazers fan overvaluing a Blazers player, but I think Philly would jump at the chance to swap Noel for Crabbe. They don't care about salary because they are 2+ years away from win now mode. And even if Crabbe doesn't develop, $15m a year when the cap is gonna be $120m isn't bad. But I don't think Crabbe is going anywhere unless it's part of a package for Boogie or something. Teams don't usually trade underperforming players that just signed extensions just like they don't trade recently drafted players that are underperforming

Bashez posted:How is this possible? 107.3 is the league average rating. I'm having trouble understanding how .1 worse than average could be the 4th hardest. Over the course of six weeks teams can play the same team 3 or 4 times and that will skew things. Different teams will play different amounts of games over the course of six weeks so comparing league average to individual opponent average will also change the averages. Also, the league numbers and team numbers fluctuate on a daily basis so things have already changed since that post. dokmo posted:He looks like he doesn't know what a basketball is and doesn't want to know... paternity suitor posted:...he's soft as baby poo poo.

Did Naismith Intend that they would be primarily for defense or what? I believe so. I think basketball used to be more about guards guarding forwards back when things weren't nearly as specialized. More like hockey/soccer/baseball in that certain guys were supposed to stay in certain areas of the field/rink depending on the situation. There's that old style of girls basketball where certain players aren't allowed to do certain things. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-on-six_basketball

Why in the world would you give up anything for Noel when you could sign him outright as an RFA this offseason. Even if you think he can develop into a good player he's not at a skill level now where he will be all that useful immediately. The Sixers likely aren't going to match whatever he gets offered this off season(unless they wanna be assholes). Noel's not good enough right now to worry about things like Bird Rights. If he plays well under contract then the team he's on would still likely have the inside track (baring a super team situation arising) as he had such success there(least for the first contract).

Noel sulked through his third year and barely played hard. He spent the entire summer away from the team. He demanded a trade on the first day of training camp. He bailed out of the preseason with a mystery groin injury . He had elective !!! Surgery on the day before the season started. He had openly questioned the fo since then . You tell me.
