Here’s Why A Nerlens Noel-To-Celtics Trade Makes Sense For Boston, 76ers
Share this: ‘Tis the season for NBA trade rumors, and you can add Nerlens Noel to the wish list. The Philadelphia 76ers big man has become the league’s trade target de jour, and with good reason.

With both Jahlil Okafor and Joel Embiid ahead of him on the depth chart, it sure looks like Noel won’t be in Philly much longer. So, to which team can the 22-year-old

According to NFL Media columnist Michael Silver, head coach Gary Kubiak asked if any player would like to address the team after the loss.

After a shouting match ignited, Kubiak was forced to intervene and separate the players involved. “Pretty much your classic offense vs. defense divide,” as one Denver player described to Silver. Despite being one of the central players involved, Okung understood where the defensive players were coming from. “I definitely understand their frustration,” Okung told NFL.com. “They played
Bruins’ David Pastrnak ‘Day-To-Day’ After Undergoing Elbow Procedure
Share this: The Boston Bruins likely will be without their leading goal scorer for at least the next two games.

Pablo Sandoval Looks Noticeably Slimmer In Workout Videos From Fort Myers
