This. Houston already has way too many of these types, enough with injury-prone, worn out, 30 + years old role players. We need more athletic, young blood on this team.
Noah is not afraid to shoot, you know unlike Dwight. I would say start Capela and bring Noah off the bench.
Tyson Chandler was once considered damaged goods, was discarded and ending up anchoring an NBA Championship team the very next year. Noah has that capability when healthy. That said, I understand there are serious concerns with his knees. Obviously, any contract we offer would reflect that. For the right price, he's definitely worth it.
Yes I'll take Noah in a heartbeat. He'd probably come at a reasonable price too. I'm just worried the Spurs are going to shoot for him as well.
He is not that old. I'd love to get him and whoever gets him will likely get him at a reasonable price. The thing is he's gonna choose a contender and as of right now we are nowhere close. It would be nice if we could get Horford and Noah to go along with Capella/Dmo/Beasley for the front court. Hell It would even make be feel better about being stuck with Brewer if we can get both of them. It ain't like we're gonna be able to trade Brew so might as well try to reunite all 3. If we could somehow pull a miracle and sign both Horford and Conley I think Noah would come here at a good price. If no Conley then maybe a trade for Teague or Bledsoe would be just as good. Then sign another instant offense back court player with handles like the ghost of JET, Bobby Jax, Jamaal Crawford type and we can go to battle.
I'm uncertain Noah can still play because his injury does frighten me a bit. If he is good to go then I think he will always be a plus on the floor. He can be your secondary play maker or hopefully your third play maker.
If Dwight is out, yes, I would love Noah. He doesn't seem like the type to back down and maybe would push Harden to his full potential.
Noah would be a nice addition. Especially if the Rockets are looking for a "culture change." Has good leadership qualities and he is fiery, like Beverley. The Rockets need that. Defensively he is solid, and even though he doesn't bring much offensively, at least he has high BB IQ and is a good passer and will move the ball. Depending on price and health the Rockets should look hard at him.
I adored Noah's game in his prime, but I think he's done for. Unless he's coming to play bench minutes at a sub-MLE contract, no thanks.

Defensively, he's regressed a lot. Offensively, he's a pretty good passer, but the problem is that he might think he's Divac. I remember the scene clearly, that he tried to dribble past Curry at his own half, and then gave up the ball and a layup.
Go for Nene. Whatever team gives him the max will regret and if Washington will not help them anymore that was Gortat has done for them.
