Please let it be Crabbe for Noel. Please, please, please!

I know that can't happen until mid-January, but PHI is far enough under the cap that a Noel for Crabbe deal works without adding any other players. Noel is an elite rim protector and great defensive player. He'd be a HUGE upgrade for us defensively.

I cant find it now, but the thing I saw was saying crabbe is indeed the rumor, but it was due to the fact that they showed interest in him as a FA...

Now, we just need Crabbe to find his shot and start contributing before Jan 14. Come on Allen, you can do it. Getting traded to PHI (or BRK, which can't happen until next July) is your best chance to become a starter in the NBA. Focus Allen, you can do it!!!!

Evan Turner and Allen Crabbe have mega contracts, and they aren't playing up to them, frankly there aren't even enough minutes for them to play up to them and they are going to be tough to trade, so when do you start thinking about trading CJ McCollum? I think that's the move that gets them lot of stuff in return. He and Dame are very similar, and are deadly together, but they just aren't going to be a good enough defensive team with those two together."

Makes sense to me!

Nerlens Noel rehabs with D-League team, to rejoin Sixers on Thursday
Philadelphia 76ers say forward Nerlens Noel is set to rejoin the team Thursday after a brief injury rehab assignment with their D-League affiliate.

Noel practiced Wednesday with the Delaware 87ers, who are owned and operated by the Sixers, as part of his recovery from an October arthroscopic knee surgery.

Noel's stint with Delaware was purely for rehab purposes and didn't involve any game action, similar to what the Sixers did recently with veteran guard Jerryd Bayless.

On Monday, Noel told The Philadelphia Inquirer that he's likely "a couple of weeks" away from returning to the Sixers' active roster.

"I think I'm in a good place right now to start building back up into game shape," Noel told the newspaper.

Information from The Undefeated's Marc Spears was used in this report.

I'm not opposed to trading for him (tho I suspect it would cost more than I'd be happy with).

I like Crabbe, would rather trade Turner than him, BUT something has to give. I don't know what his health is, I don't think his injury that he had was supposed to have a long term impact on him (the one he had in college, not recently).

Bring on the fast break that sounds like this: Festivus to Noel to Noah to Al Farouq!
 
Based on what the 76ers need, Crabbe and Napier are the two that could fill some of their holes. They need “shooters” at both SG & PG to spread the floor for their bigs. They probably will want a basket full of draft picks to make this deal with the Blazers getting Noel.

do ya think Festivus will ever play a game as a Blazer? I have serious doubts

a "basketfull" picks? no way, they will be luck to get a mid 1st, Noel is going to get paid this summer and the league knows he wants gone from the Sixers
 
What about Meyers, would philly be interested? I know they have a logjam at center but Meyers spaces the floor and theoretically could compliment Okafor/Embiid. Something like Meyers, Napier, and a 1st

They already have Llyasova & Saric that have similar games as Meyers, both are decent shooting bigs. And they have a young kid, Holmes, who looks like he might develop into a decent PF and needs minutes. Plus when Simmons gets healthy, he may get some PF minutes. 76ers are stacked @PF.

These are just my impressions from only using stats. Anyone please correct me if I am wrong.
 
Washington Wizards might blow it up this season. Night the Blazers have interest in Marcin Gortat?
 
This is my list, in order. I'm assuming these guys are all available. I'm not listing Cousins because I don't think it's realistic until the offseason.

1. Noel
2. Nurkic
3. Henson
4. Vucevic
5. Chandler
6. WCS
7. White boys with no swagger (Gortat, Koufus)

I would also add Gorgui Dieng to your list.
 
Let's try for Millsap. If Atlanta are still doing badly around February we should be able to get him for not much. Actually they could use Crabbe as Korver is getting on.
 
Im sorry, but im going into reflection mode for a moment...

I cant help but feel that some of these guys who passed on us are now having second thoughts. Whiteside, Howard, etc. I just wonder if they can imagine what I can imagine with just one of these guys on this team. We could have signed them outright last year.
This roster is a west conference contender this year and a finals contender next year:

Dame/CJ/Napier
CJ/Crabbe
Harkless/Crabbe
Aminu/Davis/Vonleh
Whitside/Plumlee/Leonard

The age fits and that team could ride together for a long time and gel.

Fucking snotty too goodies who think they are too good for Portland. One player and we are on the national map for a decade. He could have had max here and cold be winning.

Frustrating sometimes....
 
whiteside had that greasy snake riley whispering into his ear though. most players have a hard time telling him no lol

If Nurkic is actually available, I'd go all in. He's a monster, and DEN clearly doesn't have enough PT for both him and Jokic.

This is actually a good time to be in the market for Centers. Unfortuantely, most of our trade pieces are also big men.

Nurkic won't be available. Him and Jokic can play together too as Jokic is pretty versatile and works well as a power forward (he also has the shooting range to stretch the floor). We may as well go for Embiid.

From what I've read, Denver tried to play them together and it just hasn't worked. Not to mention that even when they're not playing together, Nurkic isn't getting big minutes. For instance, he started last night, with Jokic out due to a wrist injury, and only played 13 minutes. And it's not like he was in foul trouble (only had 2 PFs)--Denver just isn't playing him much anymore.

It's mystifying, really.
