I mean its entirely unrealistic and would never ever happen. Other than that, Orlando and Philly both say no, and honestly Chicago might too.
Also, Im pretty sure noel doesnt have an umlaut.
What do you think Orl and Phi would get for 2-3 month rentals..? I could throw a young players plus a 1st rd pick at each... who else would do that for a rental...?
If this is all Philly can get for Noel, then they won't trade him. It makes no sense. As for Ibaka, this is ludicrous. You are giving him away for free.
Ok they can go in a bidding war in the summer and give them near max money to stay out of the playoff picture! If they are smart enough they would cash in before those two players would for FREE or make them commit too much many for no results!
I set this trade idea making resonnable assumptions that :
- Nobody gives more than a 1st rd pick plus a young player for a Non Star Expiring rental player
- Ibaka is old enough to want to go to a winning team this summer (Orl would lose him for FREE)
- If Chicago realizes they aint going anywhere and choose the rebuilt road, AB is the closest to Butler production on both ends of the floor, nobody might give them a better pick than at the deadline than us, getting Okafor back home is a good building block...
Now I realize Phila might decide to keep Noel committing a lot of money to a bench player (when Embid and Simmons are healthy) and that's fine! He would would have been coming off the bench for us as well... Anyways, Zizic could do the trick there...
I also realize Chicago could get a better deal but trading a good player to a team that is losing many of their good players is also pointless... Anyways, Hayward could be our prize in the summer if we can sell him on a reunion...
In any case, nothing I suggested is out of this world and we can still field a great team without those specific players... Just need to help our chances with shot blocking and rebounding as well as another go to scorer...
