Trade Proposal: 76ers Nerlens Noel to Raptors for…

I’ve never made a secret of my disdain for Trade Proposals unless they made sense for both teams, and were plausible. Too many times I’ve seen fanboy nonsense (“You know, our GM should trade for LeBron James. Then our team would be good.”) polluting NBA team websites. I pledge, Raptors fans, our Rapture writers will do better by you.
