Many of you commented on a trade proposal I floated in November, in which the Toronto Raptors dumped Patrick Patterson and a first-rounder for the 76ers’ Nerlens Noel.
Whether the NBA press is making stuff up or not, there’s commentary from Basketball Insiders about interest from Toronto’s side in Noel. Since Masai Ujiri’s underlings in the front office take a vow of silence as part of their on-the-job training (well, maybe not exactly, but it sure seems that way), whoever’s doing the talking is in Philadelphia.
Portland is also mentioned as a possible destination for Noel, a youthful, tall and lean center who’s tired of sitting.
