I'm more and more not so sure noel is a clear upgrade on bebe, and then when you add character as (a rather important) category, I think Bebe leaps ahead. How long until noel is pissed off here? It took 2 games back in Philly..he seems to thonk he's the 2nd coming of mutombo with offense or something, I'm a lottery pick so gift wrap me minutes. Bebe on the other hand, smiles, dances, says the right things and never complains, then when his numbers called he puts his game face on and protects the paint.

Bebe doesn't look that dominant and I know he isn't, but he certainly must be having more of a positive impact than we give him credit for.Last edited by 3inthekeon; Wed Dec 21, 2016, 02:59 PM.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

Can someone teach me how to post a GIF? Say maybe the one where a guy is beating a dead horse.
Thanks,

I'm looking at little more long term as two moves away. It seems the hand in glove Millsap deal is not gonna happen. Not sure it's enough to beat cavs with Millsap but a tight 7 game series is fun.
I'm thinking more that if DC is lost a step better to get out now and get roco at 25, where he can play the 4 more. I'd trust noel over bebe and I think he's a better and more useful player. Most of our guys have been to the ecf once so if noel and roco play this year than they're on par with where we are at now.
Hopefully in the summer a bigger piece shakes free at the draft and we have two picks and players to make that move. Never can tell. We'd save most of the money to resign noel and go over on Kyle and Pat anyway. Caps going up.
Anyway, one small step for now, balance the roster and hopefully improve our trade outlook if the big move comes to market."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

I was thinking it's because he doesn't have to play with Pascal. Per Bbref he's +22.1 per 100 in the 310 minutes with PPat, but he has played 47 min with Pascal and they're +40 per 100.

I don't think it's beating a dead horse or groundhog day when there are persistent rumours for 6 months. This thread is imo supposed to be about trade rumours attached to the raps. If you don't like noel than don't read the comments.
The arguments for bebe are good ones, especially considering the $.
In terms of character, yes, there are some maturity issues, he has been a prima Dona for years of #1 HS recruit. I think if you look at the standing ovation he got from sixers fans and his post game interview and the high praise he gets from teammates than it demonstrates to me a guy that can grow from his age in a good environment. Nobody has lost more games or had the epic management failure that he's suffered. There's upwards of $80m at stake.
Jv vs noel potential fit on our team is worth talking about imo.

Imo he wants to play in a good position to contribute and show his skills. I still think a deal is highly unlikely.
If millsap comes on market than I'm happy to talk about it and sends assets there.

His playoffs last year is 0 and .2.
And JV's playoff BPM was 4.0 (best on team) and vorp was .5 (2nd best).
DD's playoff vorp was a team worst -0.3
