I'm convinced Noel will be a Celtic shortly...

Philly has been driving back up his price when they lost any bit of leverage they had.

When you look at impending free agents and our ability to have cap space to sign a max free agent, there is maybe 1 worthy max free agent who we have a reasonable chance of acquiring (Gordon Hayward). And my belief is we have a young developing stud at his position (Jaylen Brown) who he would be buried behind.

I could see us trading for Noel, signing him on a 2 year type Amir Johnson contract at $16m per (year 2 mutual option).

Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't this place him in the 2nd tier 7-9 years after this 2 year stint and allows him to maximize his contract terms? It's a 2 year audition to work his way up to max contract worthiness.

PROPOSED TRADE
To PHI: Terry Rozier, James Young & Draft Rights to Ante Zizic
To BOS: Nerlens Noel

I wouldn't add in Zizic. The team is losing a few big men this off season. Rozier, Young and Mikey for Noel. Or just wait for FA

I'm not giving up Zizic either - at least not for that. He's a (late) lottery pick in this draft and when you combine that with Rozier, and the chance that Noel may bolt after 3 months it's not even close to being even. I'd give up the BOS 2018 pick long before I'd give up Zizic.
Jaylen Brown will be an All Star in the next 5 years.

Noel is going to be getting a much better contract than a one year with a player option. Some team will throw him near max money and whatever team he is on will probably match it.

I don't see a team going that over the top for Noel.

I agree losing Zizic would be a sting especially given we could wait 3 months and outright sign him given Philly is likely not to match with a glut of bigs.

But you're talking about a high lottery pick rim-protector...Philly would be yielding 3 middle 1st round draft picks in Young (17th), Rozier (16) and Zizic (23).

If Ainge is of the mindset of landing him before FA, then this is the type of package which would be required to get it done.

Yeah. Given this board's tepid past, I'm not buying into the Legend of Zizic.

Riiiight.

This board has never, ever thoroughly overrated anyone before.

Not once.

I'm not even sure I give up Zizic alone for Noel. Zizic's a player. I'd let that go & would rather develop Zizic's game.

You're completely missing the point.

Sounds like an endorsement of the Legend of Noel.

I look at it this way: We'd be trading for an above-average player who could help, but probably couldn't get us into the ECF. The biggest "asset" that we would receive would be the option to match some other team who offers him a max contract (1 of the other 28 will). That's not something I'm going to give up a lot for.

I don't know about Rozier, but Zizic stays where he is.
