For me it comes down to two things:
Which parts of our bench/core do we have to let go to bring in Noel? If it's Wright/Bebe yeah for sure, but I think that offer stinks. If it's CoJo or Carroll I might be okay. If it's 2Pat, Ross or Powell forget about it.
The second.. is how can we afford both 2Pat and Noel next year when we're probably paying tax just by resigning Lowry? And as an extension to that question, how do we get our starting caliber PF, as that would still be a priority?

Don't think I saw this mentioned (only skimmed this thread) so just wanted to add that our offence is extremely screen dependent and for all his faults JV does an excellent job there. Don't know if I see Noel with the patience to screen and re-screen consistently and effectively while getting looked off on the roll.
I love the idea of his defence, in 2-3 years you're gonna need someone to counter your AD-Towns-Porzingis-Giannis types that are likely to take over a lot of the top 10 spots in the NBA hierarchy. I just think you're going to have to dump JV for pennies on the dollar because you'll have zero leverage, and that is not a Masai move. No need to jump the gun on this kid, he's good but he's not going to get you past Cleveland.

Ross can bring us Noel.
That being said, I don't think MU will do any trade this year.
As for MU not doing any trades.. that's probably true.

Stop the madness.. BC's not trading Noel for Bebe/Delon. And Ross is worth way more to this team than Noel would be.

The front office is free right now to trade JV for an elite player. They would do so even without a backup plan at C, because you can survive on the young talent we have and can chase a player of Noel's market value after said big trade anyway. Why would they trade for a guy to play backup C and create the same logjam that exists in PHI that is driving his value through the floor right now? All you do if that happens is drive JV's trade value through the floor - you think teams trade a superstar for a JV package if the Raps are essentially being forced into trading him so they can afford matching Noel in the summer?
Just a terrible strategy.
Ideally we'd execute two deals simultaneously: JV + pieces for star 3/4, and backups + pick(s) for Noel. But we may not have that luxury depending on how the market shakes out.
Buying Noel is buying low and I think if nothing else it's a good asset accumulation strategy as long as we're willing to deal with the uncertainty that brings and are comfortable matching his inevitable max next summer. Our picks are going to be garbage for a while so we need to look at bringing in upside potential if the opportunity presents itself.Last edited by Scraptor; Mon Dec 19, 2016, 10:33 PM.
