Makes sense, at least Whiteside was drafted.
Seems smart and reasonably athletic, who knows?

Those tiny numbers are terrible, not sure why I didn't notice it before.
I like how he runs the floor. If the Spurs are looking to run, then this guy could provide a great change of pace. From what I have seen he is pretty damn fast end to end.
How nice, I love the make a wish foundation!
Rather have David Lee back
Nah, brimah has Dedmon potential without the at ude problems
fleet of foot.... was beating guys down the court a couple of times.

Poor man's Mahinmi. Which could still be eventually serviceable as a 5th/6th big.
I think this guy would be better. He likes to outrun everybody and block shots. At UConn he outrun everybody when the team had a run one day, outrunning even the guards. One of his workout highlights had him sinking basket after basket impressively. I hope Spurs try to work him out. He could be this year feelgood story coming undrafted and all
To me... if they wanted him, I'd say Brandon Paul needs to show something. They have similar players as him in White and Forbes. He's not taller than White or a better shooter than Forbes and hasn't shown much so far.
I thought personally that the Spurs were set with the roster they had put together, but seeing Pop run so many 2 big lineups makes me think they might indeed want to pick an additional one. They already have a pretty good shooter with poor defense in Bertans, and Joff is skilled offensively but defensive maverick he is not. Birmah does offer something different. He could develop some.
Leading the G-League in blocks. Bring the guy over to the main roster and cut Joff
Not paying Joff $3 Million to go away. Trading Joff and say Paul for a $3-4 Million player and then bringing up Brimah would be a different story, however.
Joffrey, Paul & a second for Noel works. Noel is still hurt and a bufoonish guy, but better to have his bird rights just in case while getting away from Joffrey. Sign Brimah to the empty roster spot.
it works, but why would Cuban do that?
They aren't keeping Noel. They get back a second. They have an open roster spot if they don't keep Collinsworth past his 10 days.
Maybe someone else offers up a second, but maybe not.
If there's no trade Noel might get a buy out and be free to join Cleveland and be happy. If he's traded to the Spurs he'll probably be miserable under Pop, which could make Cuban smile.
Before he was even hurt, Noel hadn't played more than 5:35 in a game since November 4th. He's a goner there. Getting a second out of it is better than watching him go play with Lebron.
what's wrong with going to play with LeBron (especially if you're a scrub like Noel)? I have no problem with it. LeBron will probably rescue the kid's career, while Pop will bury him like you said. It's not like he was a former MVP, all-world talent that went to the team that just beat him in the playoffs because he was too scared to play them again.
Talking about the Mavs, they have a diamond in their hands in Johnathan Motley. I wanted him in the 2nd round but we went with Blossomgame for no reason.
Can players on 2-way contracts be traded?
I'm saying that Cuban wouldn't want to see Noel happy and rewarded by getting to play with Lebron. Noel's agent now is Rich Paul.
But would rather see him stuck in Pop's doghouse.
Noel is on a one-year deal. Only Dallas can have his Bird rights.
They can. Count as min contracts for salary purposes.
Sorry, I meant caphold. His caphold is 7.9, nearly the mid-level. Higher than a taxpayer's MLE like in Cleveland if Lebron stays, and higher than the room exception for a team that signs Lebron under the cap like the lakers.
They'd still have his caphold right? Then they could still use the MLE if they operate as an over the cap team and keep Noel, who I would be surprised at getting a full MLE deal.
A cap hold isn't a positive thing to have. It's just there. What the team would have are Noel's non-Bird rights which despite the name are a type of Bird rights and what the team used to re-up Pau last summer. They'd be able to sign him to a deal starting at anything up to 120 percent of his current salary, so a bit more than $5 Million. In a positive, his cap hold is smaller than you projected because SA wouldn't have his Bird rights. But we're talking room-exception money here. It's possibly still enough to keep him given what has happened with his stock this year.
