When can we sign him?![]()
Yeah it's cool. For the rest of his life he can say he blocked Yao Ming![]()
I have to see that one on the highlights tonight.
Reminds of the Bill Wennington, the only guy that I know of to block a Kareem sky hook.
He is getting a lot of playing time lately, I guess cause Sonics have no chance of making the playoffs.
He played 20 minutes the last game but only played 10 minutes tonight. It's not because the Sonics are out of the playoff race.
Last game it was because Rashard was out, so Noel played backup 3.
Tonight, Petro is out for a week or so with a broken nose, so Mikki Moore backed up Swift at center and Noel backed up Wilcox at PF.
Wilcox had a monster game .. 26 points and 24 boards. The Spurs should go after him this summer.
Noel Felix would own Rasho.
He makes pro rated league minimum for the year and Rasho has $42 million over 6/7 years.
Talk all you want about unfair wealth distribution in the world, but that's a true injustice.

You really need to get over it kiddo.
With what money?The Spurs should go after him this summer
He will take more than the MLE.
TPark, are you even older than me? Are you admitting that Rasho sucks and I need to accept that and move on?
Kiddo... haha you're priceless child.
It was funny to actually hang out with Noel after talking to him on the phone/email/text everyday for so long without seeing him. (I hadn't seen him since summer 2004). We went out last night. And then LJ, Kris and I took him out to lunch today on the Riverwalk.
He got LJ and Kris seats with the Sonics "families" for tonight's game. So that was kind of funny -- two diehard Spurs fans sitting in the mix with Ridnour and Rashard's families.
Here's a picture of Noel and Kris from after the game:

Oh and Rashard Lewis had the blingy-est bracelet I've ever seen.![]()
It was really cool to hangout with Noel, Kori, and LJ.
Noel (pronounced No L) is a really nice guy. He pretty much refutes that commonplace NBA stereotype of being all into himself and whatever else negative stereotypes people may have of some NBA players.
He fit in pretty easily with us and was as regular and cool as a NBA player could be. A lot of people stared at him, but he seems like he already got used to that and just acts like it's no big deal.
He has really good taste in cars and which shoe company should sponsor him.
It's pretty obvious why all his teammates like him. When I watched him on the court, he was always high-fiving everyone and messing around with the other players, but off the court he's kinda the same way.
He told us he would do some good dunks in warm-ups and threw down one especially vicious dunk. If he gets in the SDC, watch out, we could have a new champion.
I learned two new word meanings from him - clean and hot. You have to figure them out for yourselves.
He's just a good guy all around. Ego isn't a concept when you're around him. He's laid back, likes to laugh, and types a lot of text messages.
As far as basketball is concerned, I'm really hoping the Spurs take a strong look at him. He's a real 6'9'', 250 lbs and can jump out of the gym. His forte is defense and he gets along with pretty much everyone. He needs a little bit more experience, but once he gets that he can be a solid pro. The awesomest thing is he wants to learn and improve. Like Kori told me, he's the first one in the gym and the last one to leave. No, really, he is. He's got super work ethic and the talent is there. His jumpshot is right and improving.
Not a bad sign at all.
PS We saw a lot of Sonics in the family section. Luke Ridnour is the type of guy where your thinking, "I could take him..." Probably not, but I wouldn't mind playing a couple of games matched up against him if I got back to peak shape. He's a starting PG in the league, but still he just doesn't look as impressive as the other guys.
Rashard was wearing rediculous jewelry. Like the kind you could sell and buy an expensive house with. It was cool to finally see some non-fake jewelry.
Earl Watson, Damian Wilkins, Mike Wilks, Nick Collison, and Johan Petro also came out.
Mike Wilks was wearing a lemon cus suit that made him look funny.
Great pic. Noel is nice looking. I am glad you guys had fun.
How unlucky that I missed the dunk in warm ups! Boosh!I was all excited to see one. But we were super busy in the restaurant. Next time he is here, he owes me a dunk- just not over Rasho.

So if only 1 could be on the Spurs, who would you choose?
PS If you choose Rasho, you must hate the Spurs.
I imagine if the Sonics like Noel as much as they seem to they'll make him a restricted FA this summer.
WTF??????
I can't believe you basketball Einsteins didn't catch this whopping typo.
I meant Bill Willoughby, of course.
I now feel so significantly less honored to be amongst you.
Actually, I noted the Winnington reference to LJ as it seemed odd, but we chalked it up to your vast knowledge.
First mistake.
Did you ask Noel about his block on Yao, BTW?
How am I supposed to answer a question phrased like that?
So let me just say, I would be delighted to have Noel join our already assembledteam.
Noel is talented and seems like a really cool person as well. He and Mike Wilks are the only reason I wish the Stupid Sonics semi well.
They have a team option on him for next year. He's going to spend the summer working out with some of the Sonics players, then go to summer league. At the very least, he'll be in their training camp this fall. I wish that other teams could have worked him out this summer, but part of signing for the rest of this season was giving the Sonics the team option for next year.
I notice it but figured you were getting senile.
In other words, we caught your "typo" and have just been laughing behind your back about it rather than pointing it out.

Now I'm beginning to wonder how many other times I've drooled all over my posts.
Anyway, how many of you toddlers even know who Bill Willoughby was?
