Golden State Warriors is determined to win their next NBA title this season. The Warriors acquire the former OKC Thunder small forward Kevin Durant to have a stronger grip in the NBA finals. However, the contender team is still dragged in the NBA trade rumor. Reports have it that the Warriors are trading Shaun Livingston for Nerlens Noel.
Philadelphia 76ers are swamped with big men that they wish to trade some of them. Since then Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor have been a regular in the NBA trade rumor mills.
Both players are linked to several teams in the NBA league, including Cleveland Cavaliers. However, new buzz suggests that Nerlens Noel could be playing alongside Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green this season.
Per Chat Sports Nett, Golden State Warriors are considering a trade with Sixers involving Nerlens Noel and Shaun Livingston. Reports have it that Andrew Bogut left a huge hole in the team and Warriors are working on filling that void.
Andrew Bogut is critical to GSW's gameplay on both ends of the court. He can block shots and pass other players smoothly. Without Bogut, the Golden State Warriors' front court is not that efficient.
Draymond Green could move up and play the power forward spot. However, the player's style has always been that off a point forward.
In view of this, the Warriors could trade for Nerlens Noel to fill Andrew Bogut's void. Per Morning News USA, the Sixers' big man averaged 11.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game last NBA season. Adding Noel to Warriors' roster will make the team stronger. However, GSW needs to let go of their point guard and shooting guard Shaun Livingston.
But is this trade possible? Parent Herald previously reported that GSW is not trading Shaun Livingston because he is Stephen Curry's best support.
Which is more practical for Golden State Warriors, keeping Shaun Livingston to back up Stephen Curry or trading him for Nerlens Noel to improve the team's overall gameplay? Do you agree that Noel would be a great addition to Warriors? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
