Bryan Colangelo said Tuesday that the 76ers and Nerlens Noel have not discussed a contract extension, and this season's deadline to extend contracts in the final year of a player's rookie deal is Oct. 31.
"It's not really something that we've discussed given some of the concerns that I think Nerlens has had right now," said Colangelo, the team's president of basketball operations. "There's been very little, if any, discussion with his agents about any extension scenarios.
"But, I'll just leave it at that."
Noel said on Sept. 25 that it didn't make sense for the Sixers to have three starting-caliber centers: Noel, Joel Embiid and Jahlil Okafor. At the time, Noel said that he wasn't asking to be traded or demanding that the Sixers trade someone else. He just wanted them to hurry up and decide how they would eliminate the overcrowded situation.
Well this doesn't sound good at all. Maybe this is just posturing from both sides or maybe it really is that bad between the camps.
