Disappointed Noel hasn't gone somewhere where he could have started.

Too good of a player to be a 16-18mpg backup.

He is not a good player, certainly not a starting caliber player.
That’s pretty plainly wrong. If he had ever been in a situation where his talent was maximised he’d comfortably be considered a starter

Dallas has one of the top coaches in the league and he disappeared there

What's really crazy is he turned down a 70 million dollar extension and is now playing for the minimum.

The same coach that always maximises talent right? I mean Rondo was so fantastic there ::)

Your argument that Noel has been misused by every NBA coaching staff is fairly weak.

That's funny, because I never said that. But to say that a guy who averaged 10/8/2/2/2 over his first two years as a 20 and 21 year old isn't starting caliber is even weaker

He did that on a team that won 18 games and a team that won 10 games (arguably the worst team in NBA history). Consider me extremely unimpressed.

So essentially your argument is Noel is a starting player on teams that can average 14 wins a season.
