Noah reportedly on the trading block..

I like Noah. He is tough. I just question why he never tried to fix his shooting form. I would love to see him on the Celtics.

Noah was injured last night in that sad loss to the Nets.

Supposedly he reported that his shoulder came out and then popped back in. Left in a sling.

X-rays negative, MRI next.

He seems to be breaking down. If we can get him for short $$$, then maybe.

I'd do Lee for Noah, because why not, but as far as Noah's fallen in the last season-plus, I wouldn't expect him to be an upgrade.  He's still very good on the boards, but he's become a complete liability on offense, shooting under 41% from 2, and 3/4 of those shots have come at the rim.  He also used to be a reliable free throw shooter (in the 70's), but now he's under 50%.  He's always been prone to turnovers, but his turnover rate is now 25%. I certainly wouldn't throw a first into the deal.

It's easy to blame Hoiberg and think Brad could fix him, but the decline started last year, and this year has taken an equal step down.  It's unfortunate, because he's only 30, and Noah was an entertaining, if infuriating, player to watch.

Have always been a huge Noah guy and was a big fan of trying to pry him away from the Bulls towards the later big three days.

I'd still love him on the team but not as currently constructed. If he was the follow up move of a bigger move that nets us a number on SF or PF then sure I'd bring Noah on board. As in say if a player of the caliber like Kevin Love or Melo came to the C's, then I make a move for Noah.


With the way the team is currently constructed he won't move the needle and we should keep our assets until a trade opens up that will.

Often, the best deals are the ones you don't make. Noah isn't an impact acquisition -- just more clutter in our line-up. Save your assets for something else. Pass.

The idea of trading for Noah would be if he is a bench upgrade over Lee and Zeller.  How much is that worth?

I would like to have Noah and I bet he would play better for us. But I don't see a win win deal.
