The Golden State Warriors are doing great this ongoing regular season as expected. After the addition of Kevin Durant from their lineup, many believed that they are assured of winning back the title again. But, recent reports are saying that they should consider of adding Philadelphia 76ers center Nerlens Noel to even boost up their roster.
After their rival Cleveland Cavaliers make a big move of acquiring Kyle Korver from the Atlanta Hawks, the Warriors is said to be hard press to do the same. Many say that there is nothing wrong with further enhancing their lineup and acquiring an able player to better their chances at the title is reasonable.
On the other hand, Noel has been a familiar figure on the rumor mills the past few months. He's been dragged to numerous trade deals since the offseason last year. His frankness and being vocal about the team situation created a crack in his relationship with the 76ers management.
And now, recent reports are saying that the Philadelphia 76ers made Nerlens Noel available again for trade. According to CBSSports, Noel is said to be one of the players that will be available on the trade market that could be a potential steal for any team.
The 76ers need to unload some players on their overcrowded frontcourt and it seems that Noel is the odd man out. Aside from that, he is soon to become a restricted free agent making it easier for the 76ers to unload him and try to cash in a valuable player in return. Now, one report is suggesting that the Golden State Warriors could make use of his talent.
According to Yibada English, a proposed deal between the Warriors and 76ers could possibly work for both teams. Trade scenario is saying that the Golden State Warriors will receive Nerlens Noel while the Philadelphia 76ers will get Shaun Livingston. The trade gives both teams the ideal players that they badly needed.
The Warriors badly need to reinforce their interior defense after Andrew Bogut left them in free agency and Noel could fill in that hole immediately. He is young, talented and athletic player that could play well on the Warriors' fast pace game.
Meanwhile, the 76ers will also benefit from having Livingston on their roster and beef up their backcourt which is the main concern as of this moment. The trade will also work under NBA trade and salary cap rules as verified with ESPN NBA Trade Machine.
Will the Golden State Warriors be able to get Nerlens Noel from the Philadelphia 76ers and boost up their roster?
