After watching this...Okafor/Noel may really be available

Would be a great fit here. Even if we have to trade CC to get him. We got Anderson, Gordon, Ariza, Beverly out in the wing with Okafor manning the post.

 

Once they decided to make the playoffs & signed MDA, they decided being "fun and exciting" was better than building a championship team. Now we just wait till this experiment is over and it barely started.

 

Guessed he would be a star just before that draft, never been healthy since...Still have hope tho

 

Any word on this?
Seen a few online articles in the past 24hrs claiming Rockets still looking for a starting center and that Beverley, Dekker and a 1st round pick is being rumored for Noels.
Don't personally know how reliable the site I read it from is. Is this just BS speculation?

This summer, seemed like a few gi-normously stupid websites have popped up. I don't doubt our interest in Nerlens Noel, but shrug off any report not from, say, Wojnarowski or some such source.

 

Agreed, I've seen some ****ty sites/sources that throw enough **** out there that something sticks... And then they act like they knew all along. Haha, just like some people here (not naming anyone in particular)

 

In SI's NBA Top 100 List, Capela was ranked higher than Noel. Does that help?

 

Must admit that surprised me!

 

Noel is intriguing but a bit redundant for the reasons already mentioned. Probably wouldn't move the needle much.

Okafor is the player with boom-or-bust potential.

 

Capela has made Noel obsolete

 

Fa real. I was watching a old NBATV throwback game, and when I saw a jump hook (with proper fundamentals) I was baffled. It's the easiest shot for a bigman yet nobody uses it anymore

 

Nerlens is much better than Capela. MDA loves him. And Capela could then be traded (along with other salary) for a good starting point guard.

 

BS speculation, the link sources the trade idea from a this Zach Harper article, in the article he speculates potential deals.

 

Why is Nerlens better than Capela? The only thing he has on Capela is an extreme knee injury and malnutrition.

 

Capela is a better offensive player than noel right now... And a couple years ago he couldn't even play on an NBA court without looking terrible

 

Watch them play.

 

No. He's not.

 

noel has played starters mints while capela was a sub. btw Okafor is going to be really good, his flaws are what? he was a rookie on team that was tanking. so he's not supposed to perform his best. had this guy been on a winning team ( and couple of lessons from hakeem) then this guy should be really good.
