portland and 76ers

POR gives
Allen Crabbe (assuming he plays well)
2 2nd round picks
2018 Cavs pick

76ers give
Noel
Sergio Rodriguez

Trade could use a little tweaking, but it would help the blazer get a good D guy, and would give the 76ers a good 3 and D guy to play at the 2 with potential . Plus the 76ers have cash to blow.

I believe you can get better return for nerlens without having to pay that much cash out to crabbe. And the 3 2nd rounders (clevelands basically a 2nd since it will be in high 20s) does nothing to really change the value.

I'm not really interested in crabbe. I looked at him a lot during free agency. Doesn't really impress me much. And Noel and Sergio is too high a price.

I somewhat agree with that I'm just no sure what else could make it more even for the 76ers.

The value is decent, crabbe and Noel will make about the same in a year. They're both (at best) third options and above average defenders.

But, Portland has as many (or more) bigs than Phili. Portland has plumlee, ezeli, Leonard, Davis, vonleh, Harkless, and aminu all to play the 4 and 5. And they are short on decent wings. This doesn't really make sense for Portland.

yeah but also don't have a great defensive post. If they did this it would defendantly have to make other moves which with so much money on the books next year I could see them doing.

I don't think that Noel is much (if any) better than plumlee, ezeli, and Davis defensively right now. He's flashier with a higher ceiling, but not very consistent. He ranked 19th in defensive efficiency among centers last year, that doesn't make me think he's the next great defensive center. He's also a worse rebounder than the guys Portland has.

It scares me that he could turn into another Ibaka that never takes that next step. Also, he's going to get paid a max deal by someone, which would 100% scare me away from Noel.

Yeah the money I defiantly agree with but, besides that fact I believe he is a better deffensive center than we have. I like your opinion though Bmiller.
