Philadelphia 76ers

Yes, that’s right. There is still a pulse here, and it’s getting stronger.  And perhaps we have the public decrying and ranting of Nerlens Noel to thank for it. You see, NBA execs have plenty of risk in their lives each day without embracing it.  That’s why the loose cannon persona of Nerlens Noel in recent weeks has chased them all away for the time being.

And that leaves just the Philadelphia 76ers and Nerlens Noel to sort this all out.

Is this enough to turn Noel’s attention to the positive?  It may very well be, and ultimately may be the end game all along. With few takers, and a market value plummeting wit the uncertainty, Noel may have forced his agent into serious talks with the Philadelphia 76ers organization. But does he fit?

It appears that he and Joel Embiid believe that they are indeed compatible.
