For those following the NBA trade rumors, you will probably agree that the Philadelphia 76ers power forward Nerlens Noel has become a regular in the rumor mills. According to reports, Denver Nuggets are trading for Noel. Meanwhile, the current NBA title holder, Cleveland Cavaliers is showing interest in signing Noel too in exchange for Iman Shumpert.
According to Nugg Love, Nerlens Noel has a lot of potentials and the young player could be a great addition to Denver Nuggets. However, it is given that Philadelphia 76ers will not trade their center player that easily. Thus, acquiring Noel might cost Nuggets more.
The report suggests that if Denver Nuggets want to acquire Nerlens Noel they can offer Kenneth Faried and Will Barton. This potential trade will not only help Nuggets get what they want but it will also be helpful to Philadelphia 76ers' lineup.
If Philly lets go of Nerlens Noel, they will have Will Barton, who brings a lot of energy off the bench. In fact, Barton is one of the top 10 of the NBA Sixth Man Award last season.
As for Nuggets, Nerlens Noel is skilled in maintaining the energy that Kenneth Faried delivers to the team in every game. Also, Noel is packed with defensive skills that Denver Nuggets desperately need to improve their performance this NBA season.
Meanwhile, Sports Rageous reported that Cleveland Cavaliers is interested with Nerlens Noel too. Earlier reports even claim that LeBron James wants the team to trade Kevin Love for Nerlens Noel but the scenario is different now.
Reports have it that Cavs is trading for Nerlens Noel for Iman Shumpert. Shumpert was arrested for DUI charge and this made Cleveland Cavaliers reconsider his contract especially that the team has been considering Noel for a long time already because of the inferior defense he can offer to Cavs.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia 76ers is desperate for a shooting guard and Iman Shumpert is good at filling the position. Will Philly trade Nerlens Noel to Cavs?
