Here’s hoping Nerlens Noel fancies Voodoo Doughnut. The Philadelphia 76ers big man has been available for basically forever.

With the Philadelphia 76ers’ frontcourt logjam alive as ever, we can expect Jahlil Okafor’s and Noel’s names to be bandied about the rumor mill until one or both of them is moved. Though the Sixers have already moved Jerami Grant, they’ve never once [...]
