Then should have signed him to a multi year deal. Gonna lose him next season anyway.

Just a throw away signing, helps the CAA agent get his cut & no one else but Noel getting a big contract next season.

Nobody wants this reject anymore.

Hey, maybe someone wants Michael Olowokandi! He's only 45!

ehh he will contribute off the bench.

14-10-3 blocks per 36

he is productive in a 15-18 minute window and thats all we need.

Sorry. Get out with that "per 36"
It's a useless stat when the player is bad and teams don't want to play him 15 minutes. C'Mon.

No because if we signed him to a multi year deal you would’ve complained about that too

They can't mesh if someone else is dominating the ball.

They have to play with each other in order to mesh, and that requires complementary players who are willing and able to play off the ball.

Who is in the backcourt that’s gonna prevent that from happening? Payton? We barely have a team right now

Exactly. We could've made better signings.

A guy like Raul Neto would've fit in perfectly. Not saying he's not a scrub, but he can at least shoot a little and he comes with less of an ego/entitlement to dominate the ball than Payton.

nothing this is my exact take

Payton - horrendous

Burks/Noel will be great trade fodder for 2nd round picks come trade deadline too with there cheap 1 year contracts. Also they need to fill out the roster and burks and noel don't require anything more than bench minutes.

I really wanted to see him here...too bad he had to be on the other side of that rivalry (Louisville).

Noel is a good signing, not going to hate the player, but of course doesn’t make sense to add more bigs, except of course since the Kentucky ties

TBH I’m right there with you if Elfrid Payton and Julius Randle accidentally get on the wrong team flight and wind up on a deserted island like the movie Castaway.

(Cue Randle spin move and him accidentally throwing Wilson the beach ball into the ocean)

These moves are suspicious. They point to either poorly conceived plans or a big trade.

Besides their mediocrity?

I don't mind Burks.

Why Noel? Why bother?

Payton and Noel are "value" to Aller?

Jesus.

Pelicans just got Adams. They don’t need Mitch. Offer would have to start with Zion’s former teammate, RJ.
RJ & Picks most likely. It’s David Griffin after all.
Ingram is an all star.

I think we both know the answer.

Maybe...

Or they will get Batum contract and move it with a pick in exchange for Aaron Gordon or some other forward in the market...

I’m looking at the deals the decent players got and no **** way 80 mill for Bertans and 85 mill for a dude who has bob cousy shooting numbers
