Joakim Noah still believes he can help an NBA team.
“I’m staying ready and focused,” said Noah, who’s working out “a couple of times” a day. “[Just] waiting if something good comes along.”
I’m not sure if that call is coming.
Noah has struggled to stay healthy and played in just 53 games over two seasons with the Knicks. The bigger issue is when he has gotten on the court he has looked like a shell of the former self, slow of foot and slow to recognize coverages. Maybe midseason a team takes a flier on Noah, but teams taking a flier on a big usually prefer a younger player they might develop into a long-term player for them.
Noah had an amazing NBA career. It’s just over.
