Maybe at $15M? I dunno if he takes that. But with Dennis and Luka his numbers will go up.

I'd say so... if carlisle couldn't make it work last year, why would that change? He's a lost cause to me.

I think Noel is an asset if we can get him on a cheap deal. He first has to realize that there is no market for what he's asking. ATL, BKN, SAC are some teams with cap room and i dont think they'd splurge on Noel. So either he signs with us again or he quits basketball altogether.

I don't think he deserves more than Powell. By the way, why don't we try out Howard in a year? At least, we know what he's going to offer. We lose nothing in Howard. We could guarantee a pick moving to Atlanta in 2019. In Noel, it's not the same.

I would rather bring back Salah on a reasonable deal and move on from Noel. Noel can be a bench contributor but I think he needs a change of scenery.

Makes no sense for us, and even less sense for Nerlens.

He isn’t worth more than the MLE. If he wants to come back on a one year prove it deal, then I would be ok with it as long as Carlisle approves.

If he is humbled enough to accept a low offer,and willing to stay in Dallas we would be silly to not look at it. He's got phenomenal untapped potential.

3/18 with a PO and I'd take him. Anything more and he can walk.

You need to adjust to the word of this summer's cap.

Barely anyone has more than MLE (8.5m approx) and a lot of teams only actually have tax payer MLE. A lot of those teams won't even use their full exceptions due to tax concerns.

Noel isn't sniffing 15m. He will do well to get that over 2 years,possibly even 3.

This one I like. 3/18 would be a steal. Hope he takes it. There are only a handful of teams with cap room that can take him in. ATL, CHI, LAL, SAC, PHI, PHO. Out of that list only ATL doesnt have a center. But with a list of centers available, Noel is pretty far down. He wont have a lot of leverage.

I don't even want him around. I think Powell is perfectly fine for the rest of his contract. He's to take steps to stay further, though. I think DJ / Cousins might eventually be there. In case it is, we don't need to gamble on Len then.

Yes, it's crazy. Once we sign a starting C that will play 30-MPG, you then have Mejri, Powell and Nowitzki who will all get C minutes. Noel has no chance to get any run next year and I don't think he's the right bench player. There is literally no price that I feel we should be bringing him back for. Let's move on.

I think Alex Len could be had for 5-6M per. He could be a foul-prone Mason Plumlee type of big on cheap terms.

15mil?

How about 3mil 1 year prove it - AGAIN.

But even then I dont think we should offer him a contract and part ways.

I think Portland is desperate about keeping him. Nurkic could be pricy. I expect a contract lower than Powell's for Alex Len. I can't see him getting big offer. Noel's price should be even smaller than Alex's. I think this is the summer that teams don't want to overspent unless there's someone damn good. Most teams are under the cap again next offseason. Teams have to keep cap rooms to re-sign their own guys or protect their own RFAs. I can see a lot of one-year deal this summer.

3/60 could likely get Nurkic signed. They should probably still have another or could fund a way to then sign Len is they wanted.
