Going into the offseason, I wanted an elite ball creator plus another 3 and D wing. Third on my list was a more defensive interior presence. Ideally I would want someone who could score some too. Right now, if KP is out or injured, we have no one to create points by themselves in the front court. But, I don't see an ideal fit....especially with the price I want to spend. Noel would provide the defensive presence though plus being a lob threat. He is going to cost probably the MLE though. It is something interesting to think about. I just want someone who isn't finesse inside. Noel may not be extremely physical but would be an upgrade in that dept over our current options.
We don't have the cap room but I was thinking a Derozan, Danny Green, Noel offseason would be interesting. I think you would need to choose between Danny Green(or comparable) and Noel and not both though....unless you moved some salary.
I am warming up to the idea of Noel starting at power forward to help offset some of KP defensive limitations (assuming we are going to keep KP). That would mean the rest of the lineup would need to be able to space the floor. Don't think you would want DeRozan with Noel. Conley or Ball would probably make more sense. If DeRozan is the route we go, Green would be my pick to go with him.
