Philadelphia relies heavily on Embiid.
If Sixers select Okafor, I would try to negotiate for Noel
Noel is basically Sanders.. All rim protection nothing else. And NO to MCW .. his shooting is awful
Duh for embiid but obviously sixers need much more than that to budge..

Seriously, you wouldn't go for Noel? If you saw any summer league you'd know he has talent in that end.
The Sixers hang up crying of laughter at most packages we'd put together for Noel. Maybe our 1st, mids and something else but I seriously doubt it. If they do get okafor we maybe able to trade for Noel in 2 seasons.

I think I remember Henson dominating summer league and Sanders even made a few 3s i think.. He's Henson like on defense, doesn't body up on anyone. Not a big fan

You don't think he'll improve? Dudes played like 20 NBA games. At the same stage Sanders was older and buried on the bench. And he evolved into an elite rim protector.
Any NBA team would have Noel.

Agree 100%
The talks have centered on sending the Nets point guard Darren Collison and forwards Derrick Williams and Jason Thompson as part of a multi-player package for Williams, league sources said.
Sacramento has significant interest with Williams, but a hurdle to a possible deal is the Kings’ desire to have center Mason Plumlee included into the package, league sources said. Brooklyn has considered Plumlee a significant part of its future core.
The Kings have been thrilled with Collison, who has emerged as a strong leader and a popular teammate this season. There remains a reluctance for Sacramento to move him in a deal, sources said, but the Nets would need a point guard to replace Williams.

The Phoenix Suns, who beat the lowly Knicks 99-90 on Saturday, are in a bit of a quagmire with free agent-to-be Goran Dragic, rival executives say. Multiple teams already are inquiring as to what it would take to break up the Suns' three-guard rotation of Dragic, Eric Bledsoe and Isaiah Thomas -- with Dragic, a prospective free agent, garnering the most attention. Coincidentally, executives have gotten the impression that Dragic is the one Phoenix would most like to keep if they do, indeed, decide to make a move.
The West is every bit as tough, if not tougher, this season. The anticipated rise in the salary cap resulting from the NBA's $24 billion TV deal has bolstered Phoenix's hopes of re-signing Dragic, which they fully intend to do, a league source said. But in the meantime, they'll listen to offers as they try to establish his value on the open market and what it will cost to pay him.
The team to watch here is Houston, which has been after Dragic since he left as a free agent in 2012. Dragic can, and will, opt out of his $7.5 million contract for next season.

If we don't land Tyus Jones in the draft, I really want to target CoJo or Beverley for the right price.

I agree with everyone else - Noel is a very good defender. Although I think some people might be overrating him a little - and the asking price. Especially with Embiid back next year -along with a potential Okafor. I don't think the Bucks have the ammo to get him - Parker/GA untouchable.
I would easily pay Dragic the $ over Knight.
