I know this idea has been around for awhile, but here we go again.. ;D
Not sure if he is available, but he would help this team a lot, he is on a super cheap contract so we wouldn't have to trade one of our core players for him.
Something like poirier plus the Milwaukee pick could work for both teams I would say.

He is a very good defender, he has quick feet, hands and hops. I watched some thunder games and it looks to me as if he's a better passer than you would think. Seems like a player that could flourish here, or what do you think?  ???

Always liked Nerlens as a local Boston kid.  Which pick are you giving the Thunder?

Hope the 2020 Milwaukee first is enough

I think that's a bit too much, maybe a second rounder or two plus the Milwaukee pick. But I don't think he would be that expensive

Man, he’s just what this team needs.  Pourier doesn’t look like NBA material.

I would absolutely love Noel.

But the thing is, I don't know if Danny wants him. I feel like Noel has been available countless times over the last few years (even for the minimum), and yet the C's never grabbed him. Maybe that changes now, because I certainly think Noel could help us more than Poirier and he'd give us solid depth and can defend.

if he is all you say he is, then why would the thunder trade him for a poo poo plater as suggested?

And, tbh, rightly so. Especially considering your personal knowledge of him.

He’s a high energy athletic rim-runner who can defend all over the court. I’d love him! Just not sure if Stevens / DA want him
