But man, I really don't want any part of Noah--want no part of paying that guy big money esp. anything long-term. His comments about being on the right track regarding targeting a big man RoLo replacement together with some other speculation out there that Phil likes Noah scares me. I mean you go make a big yet cap-friendly deal for Rose with sacrificing picks for future cap room only to piss money away on Noah? Doesn't make much sense. Keep cap open for no-brainer star power now or good young players with legit futures that are primed to take the next steps in their careers. I'm telling ya -- I see nothing wrong with bringing Jordan Bachynski aboard. I think he'd be effective and he'd come cheap. Together with Willy, that might be enough at the 5 for now.
what about Noah on a 1-yr deal? hard to criticize the move without knowing any particulars. Noah may want to rehab his value for a year similar to Rondo signing a 1 yr deal with SAC.
agree don't want to mess up long term space but Noah would be good for the culture. he plays hard, he talks on D, he holds guys accountable, he doesn't let his team sleepwalk through easy games, etc.
Even 2 yrs wouldn't hurt. If we are going after Westbrook, Giannis whatever we still need a vet big like Pau or Noah. Hopefully its not the same 4yr deal he gave Lopez unless its at a significant discount per yr which I doubt would get the it done. Jordan Hill would be a cheaper option
