Nerlens Noel

The Nerlens Noel saga continues. Okay, to be honest, it’s not really a saga. The Philadelphia 76ers just have too many damn bigs and need to move one.

His addition to the staff has been rumor-mill fodder ever since the NBA/Sixers ownership installed [...]

Nerlens Noel already has the Defensive Player of the Year candidate goods. Now he’s looking for some additional offensive chops.

Sam Hinkie, you dog, you. Despite boasting oodles of cap space in each of the last two summers, the Philadelphia 76ers haven’t been free-agency players.
