Talks are heavy that Nerlens Noel may be traded off by the Philadeplphia 76ers before the upcoming season but until official word is out, it remains to be seen which team he will call home in the next coming weeks.
According to a report by Bitbag, Noels may be traded for Kevin Love, who is also one of the players that is suspected of being traded after last season's postseason performance.
It was also previously reported that the Cleveland Cavaliers wants to unload Love to devote more playing time to LeBron James who plays the same power forward position.
Noel will be a good fit and strengthen the roster of the current champions because of his maturity in playing the defensive forward position.
Noel has also averaged 1.7 blocks and 1.8 steals per game in his two years in the NBA. Hence, Noel would extremely be valuable to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Aside from his stats, Noel is also capable of rebounding and blocking shots, and would add value to the team. A downside to his game is his offensive but his defensive game more than makes up for it.
A report by Parent Herald suggests however that the Sixers may not be so keen on getting Love for the trade but instead opt for Iman Shumpert or J.R. Smith because they already have a stacked frontcourt.
Meanwhile, another report suggests that Noel may not go to the Cavs after all as it was reported that the Lakers were keen on getting the defensive forward in exchange for 18 year old Brandon Ingram, who is one of the two first-round rookie picks who have yet to sign his contract.
According to Sportsrageous, the deal will benefit the Lakers greatly but having another big man to their roster may not be what the Sixers are hoping for.
