Noel available?

Saw the 'Noel might be available' articles, and came here knowing there'd already be a thread about it: surprised to read so many people waffling on the idea of Noel for Ross+#9 -- I'd do that, and feel great about it, in a heartbeat (doubt Philly does). #9 sounds like a can't-miss high 1st-rounder, but feel like that's being inflated by the fact that we got that for Bargs, so it feelslike found money, but you're still basically throwing a darts. We drafted Rafael Araujo at #8. People forget that before tearing his ACL in his first and only season at Kentucky, many believed Noel would be the #1 overall pick.. So yeah...giving up the #9 pick + a decent long-distance-shooting role player who may never figure the rest of his game out for a high ceiling player on his cheap rookie contract for 3 more years at the exact position where we've got a gaping hole? Sign me up. Getting NN for Ross + #27 seems absurd. I don't even think Philly will go for Ross+#9 unless BC has some weird Ross Fetish and/or Masai works miracles.

He is not a floor spreader as a shooter, but he does handle the ball well on the perimeter and can attack from the wing a bit. His shot is slowly improving but I don't think he would ever be a knock down guy from 20 feet.
Any interest in this guy at all?

the thing to remember here is that we have the leverage. Colangelo has 5 picks in this draft and pretty much the entire roster needs experience.
So he is in sell now mode. Will he take a terrible deal? No. But I think Terrence Ross straight up for Nerlens Noel is hard to say to no tooFor still frame photograph of me reading the DeRozan thread please refer to my avatar

also remember spacing issues with Noel would be limited as the 30 minutes he gets, half would be as backup C. Most of the game would be either Patterson/Valanciunas or Patterson/NoelFor still frame photograph of me reading the DeRozan thread please refer to my avatar

I would do Ross + #9 for NN. NN is just as good of a prospect as any of the PF in our range.
Get a young PF that can play and contribute right now. Low usage PF that makes up for KL/DD/JV defensively. His midrange jumper is coming along. His knee should be even stronger now.
Casey will turn this kid into a DPOY annual candidate.
