Another one year deal..

GustavBahler @ 11/21/2020 8:56 PM

Noel is a high energy player, plays solid D. Should make Thibs happy. If Toppin's D needs that much work, its good to have another big who can make stops.

Rose just being lazy and relying on his UK connects

OKC fans said he had good rapport with CP3 and provided solid minutes. I'm down with this.

I like it. I like Nerlens.

Front court is very athletic. We might lead the league in dunks this year! Very tradable deal as well.

There might still be some untapped potential there as well. He hasn't played his best ball yet

I agree. He still has the makings of a decent face-up game if he gets the freedom.

40-50 wins if Thibs gets everyone on the same page. Otherwise in the 30s.

Why only 1 year?

The spacing is terrible.

TLover @ 11/21/2020 10:06 PM

Noel is a perfect backup to Mitch bc their games are similar - so we don’t have to change styles if he’s in the game.
Similar to Bullock & Burks whose games are similar as 3 & D wings.

Actually happy with how we have handled free agency thus far; especially how it sets us up for different scenarios going into the season and the following season.

BigDaddyG @ 11/21/2020 10:24 PM

We have two Klutch clients at center. Wonder what that means?

Still have the worst guards in the NBA

Solid signing. I like his game if he can stay healthy. If he can add a jump hook he would be a very good player.

It means that every signing we make won't be CAA affiliated like every says it will...

Also guessing it's Leon doing another favor.

If Mitch is playing well and staying on the court, then Noel is a 15 minute a night back-up at best, which is what is best anyway.

There is no way in hell Elf can start. Heck, if things are going well, he won’t even be needed to play at all. That means Frank and DSJ are finally starting to rise. If Elf is starting or getting big minutes.... then we are in big trouble for the season.

Nalod @ 11/21/2020 11:28 PM

Noel connecting with his buddy Payne and former mate Randle?
Its a weird year and the money is not there for role players. Payton got cut for 8mm and resigned for 5mm.
Noel good back up for Mitch who will still get in foul trouble from time to time.

Not necessarily. Noel can play the 4. There will be times when there is enough offense, not enough stops. Noel gives us that option. The ability to put two strong defenders in the frontcourt. When stops are critical. Gives Thibs more flexibilty on the defensive end.
