During a lengthy question-and-answer session with James Herbert of CBS Sports, Nerlens Noel revealed that he leaned on Boston Celtics star Rajon Rondo throughout the long ACL recovery process.

"With all the support and love, certain guys, especially Rajon Rondo -- he was definitely the biggest helper through this whole process, he actually gave me his phone number and told me I could hit him up whenever about it," Noel said, discussing the importance of talking to other athletes who dealt with the injury. "Being from Boston, watching him growing up, and he went through it and he came back as strong as possible, actually before me, so it gave me a lot of confidence, having his good faith."

"Yeah, definitely," Noel replied when asked if getting to know Rondo on a personal level felt crazy. "That's definitely what made it even more of a thrill. Being able to interact with Rondo and get good advice from him, 'cause he's more of a veteran point guard now in this league, gone through so much with the Big 3, he's a world champion, he's a player who's very mature in this league now. So definitely, it was crazy. I took a lot from him."

Tampering!
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

In before dumb trade proposals for Noel involving sending Philly Gerald Wallace and a top 55-protected second rounder.

Don't be silly.

CB's more like...

Rondo for PHILLY'S top 55 protected second rounder. Get something out of Rondo before he leaves.

More likely scenario is Rondo signing in Philly next summer since they will have a ton of cap room and yet another very high pick to go along with Noel, Embiid, MCW, Bennett, and Saric.
2025 Historical Draft - Cleveland Cavaliers - 1st pick

Starters - Luka, JB, Lebron, Wemby, Shaq
Rotation - D. Daniels, Mitchell, G. Wallace, Melo, Noah
Deep Bench - Korver, Turner
