Noah officially waived

[Moranis]

Bit surprised they waited this long if they were going to do it.  I almost expected them to carry him into next summer as potential salary in a trade, but they finally cut bait.

[Birdman]

Let the "hope Celtics sign Noah" chant begin

Would he even see the floor at all under Stevens? He can barely shoot outside the paint, never mind the 3 point line, and he's lost any defensive quickness he once had.

[knuckleballer]

I'm curious to what people's thoughts are.

I suspect he'd want more guaranteed playing time and I'm not sure when Bird's roster spot will be available. 

In a big lineup, with Horford at the 4 and Baynes at the 5, we only have one reliable backup in Theis and we don't know how he will bounce back from injury.  Williams is only a rookie and can't be counted on.

I think he could be useful in a limited role.  I know his attitude has been an issue, but we have a well respected coach and plenty of leadership including his college buddy in Horford.  He might be interested in playing for a title.


On a side note, I know there used to be a thread on him, but couldn't find it.  Is there still a way to search for old threads?

Pass, he is ready for glue factory, I would rather develop Williams

[gouki88]

No interest. Not an NBA caliber player anymore

[GreenFaith1819]

Love Noah, but God forbid any major injuries to our Bigs I think we are set to go until Mid-June 2019 and beyond.

Let's run with THIS 15.

He'd look good on the Wolves.

See that metal thing sticking out of Noah's back? It's a fork.

That would be too funny

He hasn't played in a long time, so he might be healthy now.  I think he could help if he's 70% of what he used to be.  It's worth giving him a workout.

i have watched him work all off-season long on IG, loads of videos/IG stories, he looks good and he did some of his work against the young guys in the nba. He did a lot of "open runs" and didn't look like trash but that was the off-season, you can never tell.

I think we are fine with players but if we added him I wouldn't expect him to see the floor much. Honestly, I'd say we got a steal if we could get good Noah production out of RIII and if he could add a 3 to that, wow. He could be the perfect fit in the future if he turned into that. Noah was a hell of a passer too IMO.

I forgot to say, I wouldn't add him. I'd give the spot to some young guy we can try and mold or a buyout mid-season. Loved Noah in Florida but we can use that spot on someone who has played the game sometime recently.

[ConnerHenry]

I heard he dominated against Yi Jianlin's metal folding chair

[bopna]

Noah is done.

Don't want him and don't need him.

had he been able to play at 70% NY would have kept him.

He is what Oden was for the Heat .. dead weight. And Considering the team has a young guy to develop i'd much rather bet on him than Noah
