I posed this question about a month ago.

The consensus seems to be that he's cooked but I detail why I think he'd be a potential coup of a signing.

I'm still pro Noah.

The last times I've seen him on the court he looks cooked, but it that's not the case he would be a good pickup....

He and Al go WAY back. Have Al Contact Noah and see where he is mentally and physically. Once Celtics have that information then the Celtics  would know how to proceed.

Noah is the ultimate team player, but I'd have to know where he is physically and mentally before offering a non-guaranteed minimum.

If this happens, I think this means that the Knicks are out of the running for a two superstar summer.

By my count, if they stretched Noah, renounced all free agents except Zinger, and traded Lee and Hardaway. they would only have about 56 million dollars in space. That would leave room for one max guy and one 24 million dollar free agent.

Even assuming a superstar and all-star level player would do that, would that core be a contender? Nah. And they would only have 7 guys on the roster.

Waiving Noah might open up some cap space, but the inability to trade his contract is going to cost them about 7.5 million in space, which is the difference between two max contracts and a max contract + an 80% contract.

No room on the roster but can we invite him to camp? Give the young bigs another role model and he and Horford can hang out. He's looked cooked the last few seasons but if he shows anything you can file that away in case a spot opens up later.

I don't know if that's worth it.

He's the kind of player you sign mid-season if you experience injuries at the position.

They'd have to trade one of their garbage contracts for one of their targets. Problem is they'd almost definitely have to trade one or more of their young core to do it. Would Zinger plus Noah for Kyrie have any appeal here? Kyrie opts out and that gives maybe them room to maybe go get KD and Butler, then go over the cap to sign Kyrie as they would have his bird rights. IDK, just thinking out loud..

This guy has been in he league for about 10 years and I still have no idea how to pronounce his first name.

JOE-KEEM? or WA-KEEM?

Regardless, loved him in his prime. Think he’s long past that though.
