1. I'd say fast enough 2. No 3. I think our sistem minimizes midrange j also cause we don't have player able to do that...Horford can also shot the 3 better than any of our 4s. 4. No That said yeah, you're right, he wants to play the 4, and that is the role we should play him eventually, with some portions of games at the 5 in small ball lineups. He's not an anchor nor a great rebounder, you're right again, but he's really good in literally everything and by far better than any 4 we have on the roster, we really need a 4, that's for sure, and Horford is a smart player, which is something we desperately need. Last thing, you're talking about our gambling defense, we'll see who'll be our coach, but if it's going to be Thibs, you already know he likes solid defenders, and Horford fits the bill.
I believe he's referring to Noel. I think if you're looking for a guy that has similar skills to Capela and can create a decent C rotation, Noel could be a great find. Philly will likely be looking to deal this summer, but I don't see how we have the assets to acquire a guy like Noel. Personally, I'd like Noah. I think he'd be a great fit if you have a legit stretch 4 (Beasley or DMo), and could certainly average 8/8/4 in limited minutes while giving you very solid defense. He's a vet we desperately need.
I don't necessarily agree with this, he basically missed only two seasons for the same injury (torn pectoral muscle, left in 2012 and right in 2014), so we're not talking about something worrisome.
Realistically what would it take to get Noel? Not talking about our available assets but what would other teams offer?
Well, one thing you can be sure is that with Hinkie out and Bryan in charge, they'll try to find players ready to help them win games, so, no more picks and prospects. That said Bryan has never been a great negotiator, so yeah, every good gm will try to jump and deal with him imo.
Any C who is athletic, plays solid defense, and doesn't care about shot attempts. Nerlens Deandre Jordan Robin Lopez I'd take any of them, and I think they'd all be great fits.
Not sure if it's been said, but...Andrew Bogut. Dude can defend the paint, has great court vision, can set good screens, and has good hands.
