Teams inquiring with Philadelphia about Nerlens Noel

Teams have reportedly been re-engaging with the Philadelphia 76ers in trade talks for center Nerlens Noel, per Chris Mannix of The Vertical.

What It Means:

If the 76ers don't trade away Jahlil Okafor, Adrian Wojnarowski reports that they will likely instead look to trade away Noel. The 22-year-old is set to become a restricted free agent at the end of the season, and if a team is to acquire him they will likely look to ink him to a new deal in the summer.

Noel has averaged 8.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.4 steals in 19.4 minutes per game this season. He ranks 69th in the NBA and first among Sixers players with a 2.3 nERD.
