Damn harden. No defense being played in this game
I'm not as against trading Noel as I used to be mostly because I want the logjam solved but I think he compliments Embiid more than Okafor. You can even play them together for short stints defensively and completely lockdown the paintI disagree, I think Noel is excellent defensively, he was elite as a rookie when he played center and single handed had the Sixers as 13th in the league on defense, last year he was still elite but not as effective at PF. Noel is exactly what people thought he'd be, an elite rim protector, not sure what else he was supposed to be other than that.
I am ready for @CantStop to party on Mudiay fans...thread going to be so good.
They wouldn't be dumb to max out a backup, the market was set for a guy like Noel when a backup like Biyombo got what he got. I'd keep Noel, defensive bigs don't grow on trees and he's a great insurance policy for Embiid. Noel is a center, he plays his best at center, so having Simmons & Saric to play PF doesn't matter that much. You don't trade BOTH of those guys, then you have absolutely no backup center.

He's about to have 20 and 20 in the 3rd quarter of his 1st game. This system is tailor made for him.Harden will be the MVP, in the perfect system with D'Antoni
