Philadelphia 76ers trade rumors: Noel now linked to a move to the Lakers
The Philadelphia 76ers have yet to win a game this season, but there are some good things for them at the moment because their players are increasing in worth.
Joel Embiid is impressive so far as he makes his way back to the team. It appears that Nerlens Noel has also become the ideal trade piece for a team looking to finally break their slump.
As always, they find their team in trade rumors and Noel has constantly been in tow for a move.
While having one's name constantly thrown around for a trade may be disturbing, this could actually be a good thing for Noel. He could be traded because he may be destined to be great at other teams.
The Sixers currently have too many young big men in the line-up and they are unable to share minutes.
Noel is seen as a possible trade piece as the team looks for young and emerging stars. This is because he could easily adapt to other teams and has enough weapons to be great anywhere.
Many teams have been linked with Noel. Most recently, the Los Angeles Lakers are also rumored to be interested in the center's services.
According to the link, the Lakers might be willing to trade their rookie Brandon Ingram for Noel. This speaks volumes as many believe that Ingram has a high ceiling and can probably be a reincarnation of Kevin Durant.
For Noel, if he can be traded to a team that can maximize his skills, he is likely to flourish more than what he is currently enjoying with the Sixers.
This has been a long year for Noel and the season has just begun. It remains to be seen whether he will be dealt before the trade deadline or if he must wait in the coming summer before finding a new place to call home.
