For whatever reason none of the teams Noel’s been on has seemed particularly interested in keeping him around.

Payton’s been the same way. Finally, they are together!

How does OKC not resign Noel after trading Adams? Horford is the only big on the roster no? For whatever reason none of the teams Noel’s been on has seemed particularly interested in keeping him around.

Yeah if having Leon Rose means we’re already scouting Brandon Boston Jr that’s something I can live with. Leon Rose basically ran the Knicks in 2013 and that was our best season since the 90s.

I know the Kentucky/CAA thing seems creepy, but the other side of it is that it’s not a bad group to build allegiances with. That was probably Rose’s sales pitch to Dolan.

*pinches arm*
OH SHIT! NERLENS NOEL FOR REAL??
Yal!
Do you know how long I’ve wanted him on the squad? Now don’t get me wrong…this offseason doesn’t necessarily move the needle..but it’s been a necessary one. Signings that don’t block the kids, but still help. All that’s left is to move Randle and add a SG who can score on his own. I’d be down for a Trier reunion if he can accept his role and Thibs’ tutelage. Remember- Thibs is the same guy that got Lavine to grow.

If the play is to fill out the roster with quality veterans, then well, let’s get veterans who are actually good, like Nerlens Noel. I’m not a big fan of Burks because he can be a bit of a chucker a lot of times, but he’s also a talented player who can shoot 3s are a decent rate, and Payton is Payton, there’s not much to say, he has his qualities and his issues and I think he’s pretty much at his ceiling level, but again, not a terrible player. I’m not mad.

Dotson was a pretty good prospect, I am honestly confused why he didn’t get drafted. He was the best player on the best college team in the country, he’s just 21, he’s a bit small but he’s very athletic, and he was a productive college player

Noel & Mitch under Thibs is a wet dream of mine.

If he turns into a significant NBA rotation in the next 3 years I will gladly admit to being wrong on the move to pass him over. For the record, I’m still waiting for Kay Felder to turn the corner.

this is not just about dotson… who yes there are many comps like isaiah thomas or van vleet or jj barea who have excelled in the nba…. it’s about picking quickley at 25 AND punting on 33…. i can guarantee there will probably be multiple people picked after 25 that will be better than quickley and at least 5 players on our roster…. it’s so obvious that it isn’t really much of a question….

Maybe Rose can trade for Skal Labissiere, Malik Monk, Trey Lyles, and Keldon Johnson, so we can get a few UK players on the team, amirite?
