Spurs should trade Lasoftus for him tbh

Well that didn't last long. After one year of experimenting with a twin towers lineup featuring Jahlil Okafor and Nerlens Noel, the Philadelphia 76ers have come to the conclusion that the two young big men simply don't mesh on the court together. According to The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Sixers are looking to trade either Okafor or Noel. The Sixers have had periodic trade talks this summer involving Noel and Okafor and plan eventually to move one of them, league sources said. Philadelphia doesn't believe the two players' talents are complementary. This is not that surprising of news as both players have been involved in trade rumors since last season.

Aldridge for Noel? That must be good crack you smokin'
Im ok with Blake Griffin for Noel, Okafor and a couple of future 1st round picks, tbh.
That is wayyyyy to much for Griffin![]()
People are way overrating Noel.LMA for Noel. Spurs would probably miss the playoffs with that trade.
You also exaggerate they would not miss playoffs ..stop that. Kiwi is in his prime with Pop, parker, manu, ldn and pau that would still be a top 5 or 6 team in the West
why aint they gettin rid of embidd? they high on him?
I disagree in a big way. You are listing TP/Manu as some huge positives and they are not. They are fine for players 6-10, but if you have a SL of TP/DG/KL/Pau/Noel that is a significant downgrade from LMA in there.
If Kobe can miss the playoffs in his prime, I'm sure Kawhi can especially if you are really trying to count TP as someone that is a game breaker.
Noel is fine for a young team like Houston. Not for SA, who is a contender.
LOL yeah Parker is a negative on this team now and I'm not so sure how much of a positive Gasol is considering how lost Aldridge was in the offense when Duncan was getting a lot of touches early on last season and considering how awful the team is going to be defending 1-5 pick and rolls with Parker and Gasol.
Agree its a downgrade ...but Kiwi with that cast and pop as coach is still better than dallas, houston, utah portland memphis etc. Mainly because kiwi is better than the star players on those rosters. And because the Spurs system generates better looks than those teams and the defensive yograde you get with noel Spurs go from top3 or 4 to 5-7 losing aldridge for noel ...
Kawhi is a better defender than Harden, yes..Not a better player overall.
Buford would laugh and hang up on Morey the second he offered Harden for Leonard straight up.
Ummm no, that's fukin re ed. Kawhi is the superior player and it isn't even close.
those aren't just lapses on defense, that's a complete lack of effort that is unacceptable and inexcusable.
good thing you think so highly of him, you can keep him.
Noel has lingering knee issues. Okafor could be one dimensional. Griffin is a Superstar. Fair trade IMHO.
He's a better prospect than Okafor or Noels.
Kawhi is a great defender. But he's not the superior player, he's never played a full season and never had to carry the load Harden had to here in Houston (This is noticeable in minutes played for Kawhi v Harden) . Play Kawhi nearly 3000 minutes for Houston the past few seasons, his body is probably broken down already. Kawhi can't facilitate the ball like James. Kawhi plays in a system that allows him to get his points easily. James has to be the PG, facilitate the ball, and create points for himself because no one else can, then has had NO shooters. On the other hand, Pop created Kawhi, and he has to force him to want the ball, especially in the 4th quarter. And he still didn't want it.
You can laugh at it. Kawhi doesn't want the ball in the 4th quarter. Plain and simple.
