Rumor - Nerlens Noel-Jeff Teague trade being talked about

[Ilikesports17]

For a laugh, check out the 76ers subreddit... they are having a meltdown over this rumor:  https://www.reddit.com/r/sixers

There's a rumor that Philly would also include Stauskas and Covington in the deal.  The 76er fanbase is going nuclear.  High comedy.

Should be interesting to see what actually ends up happening.

They should be... What an awful trade, classic Colangelo move. I hope it doesn't happen because it ruins the chance of #3 for Okafor

Not sure if I'm reading this correctly, but Noel, Stauskas and Covington for Teague is an absolute home run for Philly.  +5 wins, contracts notwithstanding

Contracts up in a year. I know Teagues a good player but it'ss a big disappointment if this is Noel's value honestly

i'll be bummed if Boston doesn't somehow land noel or okafor this Summer.  Those kind of prospects aren't made availalbe often.  But if the price for landing a guy like Noel is a 1-time allstar in his 20s, I can understand not making the move.  As much as I love Noel, I don't think I could bring myself to trade Isaiah Thomas for him.

Hey, that sounds like IT. I am 100% onboard, send IT to PHI for Noel, CoJo, and Sauce.

Youd do that? really?

Who do you draft? Murray? Hield?

Which line up is better.....

IT
Bradley
Crowder
Sully
Johnson
+ who ever #3 (Bender, Hield, Brown)

or

Dunn
Bradley
Crowder
Olynyk
Noel

[PickNRoll]

Goodness!  Noel is a deep backup for any playoff team.  Doubt he earns any minutes AT ALL for any 2nd round playoff team.  Why are we even discussing him?  I'd rather sign Scalabrine.

Atlanta and Philadelphia are discussing a deal centered on a Jeff Teague and Nerlens Noel package, league sources tell The Vertical.

Sounds like there would be more moving parts to this. PHI trading Noel for a PG on an expiring contract seems like a pretty light return.

Noel will command big money next season as this is the final year on his rookie contract, so it's a moot point.

Trading a guy who was supposed to be a foundational piece of the inevitable Philly dynasty for a 27-year-old PG who's career highs are 16.5 points and 7.2 assists and has only one more year on his deal is pretty much what Hinkie fans have been dreading.

Teague would certainly make Philly a lot better next season, but "a lot better" might mean 22 wins.

If Teague is engaged and likes Philly, it would be a fine trade for them. 

Jeff Teague is a 27-year-old point guard who has never averaged 7.5 assists a game.  He's made one all-star team and that was in a season when Atlanta had a freakish regular season record and then got fairly embarrassed by the Cavs in the Finals.

He's certainly make Philly a lot better...but that's what Nerlens Noel is supposed to get you?  A non-star on an expiring deal?

And on the subject of Noel and Marcus Smart, this may be a bit too much for some people so let me explain it.  It is entirely possible to not want to trade Marcus for Noel and still think trading Noel for Teague is a disappointing deal for Philly.  You just have to be able to hold more than one idea in your head at a time.  Such as, thinking Marcus Smart could still develop into a special player while recognizing Teague is not and never will be one.

And by the way, Jeff Teague averaged 3.2 points playing 10 minutes a game as a 21-year-old rookie and 5.2 points playing 14 minutes a game as a 22-year-old NBA player.  Now five years later he's good enough to be traded straight up for Nerlens Noel?

I think I agree....
The only perk of the second line-up is defensive upside down the road....but again I think your right.

That second team would have to be the best defensive team in the NBA. Keep in mind theyd have Smart and Covington (who is a decent defender???) off the bench

but yeah, that team also cant score for Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. and probably wins like 15 less games.

[LooseCannon]

I get it and I dont. Teague can just walk away from Philly after next season.

Is Noel a restricted FA after next season?

A really good PG goes a long way for a fledgling team.  If Teague goes to the sixers, I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised to see him back in the All-Star game.  If the Sixers have to pay Teague after next year (because he's first tier) is that a bad thing?

'
You need a third team involved if there is a really good PG involved in this deal.

Shouldn't Marcus Smart be on that first team?  Presumably you've traded him for Noel on the 2nd team and picked Dunn with the #3.

[ssspence]

No one would give up anything of value for Teague -- who was pretty publicly shopped -- at the 2016 trade deadline. Now Colangelo wants to send out Noel for the right to watch him short arm floaters for one year's worth of 'winning'? It's funny, really.... but I certainly hope it happens, unless Noel's traded to the Cs.

I would make that trade in a heart beat. The Cs may win less games in the shortterm and would be closer to a title long term.

As far as the draft goes, leaning towards Bender.

Now would be a nice time for Danny to swoop in and offer AB for Noel.

I think Smart for Noel is a more reasonable trade for both teams

A source has confirmed that the Sixers have had multi-player trade talks with the Atlanta Hawks. Yahoo Sports reported that the teams are discussing a deal centered around packages that include the Sixers center Nerlens Noel and Hawks point guard Jeff Teague. Noel will enter the final year of his rookie deal next season. Meanwhile, Teague will become a free agent following the 2016-17 season.

Sixers shooting guard Nik Stauskas and/or small forward Robert Covington could be included in the deal, according to a source.

The Sixers tried to send Stauskas, point guard Ish Smith and one of their late first-round picks to the Hawks at the trade deadline in exchange for point guard Dennis Schroder.

This time, the Sixers are shopping Noel and center/power Jahlil Okafor  to “at least 15 teams” to see where they can get the best deal, according to the source.

Sounds like the story was leaked to turn the heat up on the other "14 teams."

Also, way to lowball for Schroeder, guys.

There's a lot of posturing this time of year.  Hawks have been shopping Teague.  They apparently were trying hard to get Gordon Hayward for him last year.  So it would make some sense that this leak is actually coming from the Hawks side trying to drum up bids for Teague.
