Hey, it's better this way. Lakers aren't a waste of another time slot. This way, both LA teams get it over with in 1 game.

Same as last season. Even with Kobe gone, Lakers will always be a popular franchise. NBA will always pander to their fanbase.

Lakers should NOT have a Christmas day game, opening night or 17 nationally televised games, it's ludicrous.

Always loved the dude.

Are you guys are just going to turn on him again when he doesn't come here?

"All" is figurative here, right? Hope you're not generalizing 'cos there are people on this forum that have supported going after Noel (more than Okafor) long before the other rumors surfaced. It's just he hasn't been talked about much since the Okafor crowd has been louder (numerous pages spent debating on the guy) and there's always the star target of the week (KD, Griffin, Westbrook, Boogie) to talk about last July.


Can't think of a single person and I read this forum daily. Not saying you're wrong but even I never pushed for him.

But I do remember most of this forum hating on him intensely in those Okafor conversations. Would always get bashed if I said I liked his game a lot so I gave up. Not like I watch him live a ton and know what I'm talking about or anything.

I feel like half the Okafor thread was people saying they wanted Noel instead of Okafor. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong... that thing got so repetitive I skimmed quite a bit... :)

We will regret trading Rozier, dude is legit slider in the draft, he is reminding me of Monta Ellis in that he can drive and get to the line but a better defender and more athletic.

I'd throw Roz out of the van to get Noel.

Why are we in a van? No idea. It is Philly.

We will regret it even more when Marcus shoots below 40 FG% again. :oops:

We'll see. We've been atop of every trade rumor this off season. It's been insane to say the least.

Dude.. Dude.. Et tu, Truth

I've been defending Noel for at least a year, just based on his potential and on normal development curves. He's not a sure thing, but there's a lot to still be excited about, and he's young.

Cat-quick, insane hops.. Took a step back last year in defensive stats, including blocks and steals, I think. Still learning, not a great rebounder, will be lucky to develop a midrange shot, small chance he gets a post game. Not great passer, not great hands, but showed a ton of efficiency improvement in the P&R with Ish Smith. Elite defensive potential, like I think his floor is still prime Theo Ratliff. Has agility to guard three positions, gets in passing lanes like Smart.

Yes, Noel is dating a super hot chick, and they hooked up in Boston. He is putting the finishing touches on his new photos with the new future Mrs. Noel right now.
