Doesn't matter, Embiid is the future, and they have Saric at PF. They also have richaun Holmes, a young and cheap PF. If I'm philly I'd rather pay a starter like Crabbe 18m than a backup like Noel.
Noel would be very intriguing, his defensive ability is top notch! I wonder how far his offensive game can grow though. That being said if you can get him then please do.
One thing about Noel though is that he's an RFA. Portland would have to dump salary for sure if they get him.
Pup and others, the only problem I have with Noel is he's an RFA, the damn Nets could do the same thing with him that they did with Crabbe - offer him a huge contract. Nets will likely trade Brolo now or this summer, so them making a big offer for Noel would not surprise me at all. Therefore I prefer Okafor because of his contract
Grabbing drinks with some peeps but will try to stay on. Have a text out to try and get more info on Philly but haven't heard back.
We'd essentially replace Crabbes contract with Noel's. I believe Noel can start at PF, and slide over to center when Nurk is out.
That's really interesting. You might be right. Could you please point me to the part of this sentence where the word IF can be found?
How the fuck could he prize Okafor higher than Nurkic if Nurkic is a blazer and Okafor is still on the market?
Except.... there's zero ambiguity in your opening statement. "These reports of Chandler and Okafor ARE really hurting Neil's credibility. " Am I misinterpreting the underlying context of your words?
Okafor > Nurkic Nurkic + Pick > Okafor That could be how he saw it. My issue isn't with Nurk/Okafor, it's with Chandler. Valuing Chandler over either of them is asinine.
Because the opening statement is the end-all, be-all, and there's no other context in which it exists. Once again, way to out yourself as having little to no reading comprehension skills.
Or...... Neil was using Chandler and Okafor as leverage to get that pick out of Denver. Because.... you know...... negotiations and all that silliness.
Okay, I'm going to break this down for you Barney style. What I said: "Well, you ARE the guy who was saying that unsubstantiated rumors about players that Neil may, or may not have been interested in, would damage his reputation." What you said: "These reports of Chandler and Okafor are really hurting Neil's credibility."
