Read the fine print. "Hollinger Analysis" says trading Brewer for Noel will decrease our projected wins by 1.
Sounds like you drank too many brews before making this post. That's the craziest thing I've heard in a while. Brewer is HORRIBLE and his game has zero resemblance of Shawn Marion in his prime or otherwise.
Noel and Covington for Brew, Ennis, Chinanu and rights to Llull. Would even throw in lottery protected first to sweeten deal. Noel and Covington would make our bench downright scary, offensively and defensively.
Love think trade because the Llull saga would finally be over. Don't see the sixers giving Covington back but Brewer actually meshes well with the sixers because they both suck
This is the fault of 76ers management, they've drafted all of these big mens, blindly. Now, they don't have time to put them all of the floor or give them time to develop. I think they will end up trading both Okafor and Noel, but keeping Embiid. Who probably would flourish more with a veteran power forward.
You nailed it. They have a stupidly unbalanced roster. Assuming Embiid holds up that long, Okafor and Noel better be gone by the deadline. Not sure what they get for either guy.
I feel for Nerlens. He's right. He is too good. I remember my senior year of high school, I switched schools and the soccer coach didn't like me. So I get benched. He puts me in one game where we're struggling to score and I scored 3 times in 11 minutes. Takes me out. Next game, puts me in, right away I score. Takes me out. Next game, I barely play. Sometimes coaches don't use what they have and it sucks for the players that don't get well deserved burn.
I don't see Anderson going anywhere. The reason this offense works is because we have Anderson. He draws his defender out to the 3 point line which allows Harden to make the magic he is making the season. Noel replacing Anderson, or anyone unable to hit the the 3 close to .40% is going to end up clogging the lanes and limiting Hardens affectiveness in creating a free flowing offense. Anderson will come out of his slump and we will all rejoice.
Looks like they figured that **** out. Nerlens Noel will not be in the 76ers rotation unless either Joel Embiid and Jahlil Okafor get in foul trouble for the foreseeable future. Sixers coach Brett Brown said before Friday's game againt the Brooklyn Nets that he's making move because he doesn’t think he can effective play three big men. A fourth center – Richaun Holmes – will also take a hit. Brown said the decision has nothing to do with Noel’s voicing his displeasure with only playing 8 minutes, 2 seconds in Friday’s 100-89 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. The 6-foot-11, 232-pounder missed the first 23 gamse with a inflamed tissue above his left knee. He played scored eight points in 10 minutes during his season debut against the Detroit Pistons on Dec. 11. He missed the second half of the game and sat out Wednesday’s matchup against the Toronto Raptors with a left ankle sprain. Noel returned to action Friday against the Lakers and recorded 2 points, five rebounds and one block while playing all his minutes in the first half. He voiced his displeasure with that in the locker room. "I'm not an eight-minute player. So I don't know what that's about,"Noel said at the time. "I don't really care [who he's paired with]. I need to be on the court playing basketball. I'm too good to be playing eight minutes right now, that's crazy, that's crazy, that's crazy. Need to figure this [stuff] out."
Nerlens Noel is a damn clown. Get your life off the court in order first. He missed the First 6 weeks of the season with an injury {not his first injury) and after your second game back, he is complaining about playing time? Q-Tip headed loser.
