I don't have a link for the rumor I was it on basketball coverage via Instagam so the source isn't strong for obvious reasons but they are a good reliable page to follow. It is a very intriguing trade if this is true and very fair trade

Here is a link to the article mentioning the proposed trade.

http://en.yibada.com/articles/89659/20151127/nba-trade-rumors-magic-victor-oladipo-76ers-nerlens-noel.htm

There's no actual information there.

Quote
In a Twitter post from Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders, a fan proposed an exchange of superstar potentials between Oladipo and Noel. Kyler noted that there are no signs both teams could do the deal, but explained that the Magic and the 76ers have too many players at the same spot.

Wish people would stop posting "rumors" from websites like yibada which all they're doing is spamming crap in the internet for click bait purposes and nothing else.

Seriously, I'm surprised the mods haven't added yibada, ibtimes, etc. to a banned word/string filter.

What crap.

Headline: Magic to swap Oladipo for Noel.

Article: Some fan proposed the two teams make a swap.


People don't actually get paid to write this stuff do they?

Deep in the celticsblog forums is exactly where this speculative nonsense belongs as long as it's appropriately labeled, which it is. When it's on a more legitimate source and is intentionally misleading, it's unfortunate clickbait. Bring on the made up trade ideas so they can be passionately ridiculed.

It's an interesting proposal, though.  I'd like to see Nerlens next to Vucevic down in Orlando.

Would it really be any different than Philly, though? Noel is going to have to guard the quicker 4's in the league, which will again take him away from his strength of rim protection near the basket. Offensively, he'll be just as inept as in Philly, because he can't provide the proper spacing for Vucevic to work down low, which will just clog the lanes even more.

Just label it a trade idea at least.  It's just annoying to see this called a "rumor" when it's based off no truth or actual reporting.

There is no validity to this rumor.  As others have pointed out, yibada is a click-bait site that makes up logical yet baseless rumors... Such as one that says the Celtics are trading Marcus smart for Nerlens Noel:  http://en.yibada.com/articles/74210/20151015/nba-trade-rumors-marcus-smart-philadelphia-76ers-nerlens-noel-possible.htm

I think we should call over to Orlando about Victor Oladipo and see what they think about him. I mean they just drafted Hezonja who plays the same position as both Oladipo and Harris. Boston could be a prime landing spot for Oladipo as we send them over Bradley who is better suited for a bench role and maybe Sullinger or young players/picks. I'm actually pretty excited for the trade deadline this year just for the abundance of talent that could potentially be traded.

Trading for Tobias Harris still makes some sense.
