    I definitely wouldn't mind him as a cheaper replacement for Dwight. Someone you can't ever question giving their effort and energy

    I've thought about him. The Rockets LOVED Joakim Noah in his prime... but he's coming off a terrible season. What's the price? Is he in full decline or can he rebound from last year? I haven't watched him enough this past season to know.

    I'd take him at a reasonable price

    This dude has all the intangibles - lot of heart, hustle, energy and passion.

    He is a leader and a true voice. He wouldn't stand up for any shenanigans. This team desperately needs someone like Joakim Noah

    If he could ever get healthy, a front line of Noah, Motiejunas and Capela, Trez would be high effort and high intensity all game...

    I'm can see this. A vocal defensive presence. Team first guy. Pure hustle

    Thibs ruined his body. He's damaged goods.

    his role diminished this year under Hoiberg's first year. but at the same time his shoulder injury did cut his season short. As far as decline he was never really that talented. Primarily works with an extremely high energy and motor with good bball IQ. Imo can still very much be serviceable as a big still. But obviously at a reasonable price for a 31 yr old.

    Not sure how much is left, huge risk so I wouldn't pay too much and I'm sure he wants a great deal.

    Still wouldn't want Deng or Noah for more than a year. It's a ticking time bomb.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Noah reunites with Thibbs in Minny.

    Demeanor-wise he's the complete opposite of Dwight, so he's got that going for him.

    But I hope we do give him a serious look, assuming he isn't planning to reunite with Thibs in Minny.

    I love his fire and passion. Would rather see Capela develop though unless Noah came at a reasonable price and only played 20-25mpg as a starter sort of like Bogut for the Warriors.

    We need to get younger, not older.

    Capela has made Noah obsolete
