Dallas got the better end of the deal but this was nowhere near as bad as the Cousins trade. And this was entirely on the 76ers for waiting so long to make a move. They should have traded Okafor anyway since his skillset is the least desirable of the big men they had. He’s best coming off the bench in a Monroe or Kanter type of role. However, with the league becoming more and more 3 dominant, I don’t think Noel is nearly as valuable as people are saying. He can certainly guard out on the perimeter but he’s basically Deandre Jordan on offense. He’s not someone I would build my team around. A good piece to have though.
