Noel might be the best FA signing of Presti's career. Great move. I figure the taxpayer's MLE since I'm under the assumption that LAL was offering the room exception.

That would bury the "culture" Presti is looking for in a heartbeat.

Boogie goes to the lakers then Adams gets traded for Beal.

I just don't see it. Not with Noel. This guys hasn't played regular minutes in the 20s since 2016.

I have a hard time seeing Adams being moved. Even if we are going to assume that Noel would be the starting center who is going to take on Adams' contract AND give OKC a return that improves the roster? Send him to the Bulls with Singler for Robin Lopez? I'd HATE that. It would basically be dumping salary. Lopez is solid, but it would be a step back for the roster. Adams and Singler for DeMarre Carroll and Jeremy Lin. That would be interesting as Carroll would be a solid wing off the bench and Lin would be a solid combo guard off the bench. I just wouldn't want to be betting that heavily on Noel as the starter.

Adams to Sacramento for WCS and Temple? Who really has a need for center and can tie up that much cap space at the position? A rebuilding team doesn't make a lot of sense. People say OKC can't move Russ because of the PR, but I think moving Adams would be just as bad if you are looking at it from that direction. Adams is a fan favorite and his personality is arguably the best on the team.
