For the past years, the Philadelphia 76ers have been building its franchise to make it a formidable team. After the Allen Iverson era, the team never got their groove going.
The last time they were able to make the playoffs is during the 2011-12 season with the likes of Andre Iguodala, Elton Brand, Jrue Holiday and others are on their rosters. They even beat the top seed Chicago Bulls in the first round but eventually defeated by the Boston Celtics in the semifinals.
Since then, the Sixers struggle and were not able to accomplish anything. They even got the worst record last season and pave the way for pick first in this year's Rookie Draft. They got Ben Simmons who is a forward from LSU. Ben Simmons is predicted to be picked 1st overall pick and it happens. However, why Nerlens Noel is not happy with the arrival of Simmons.
According to Parent Herald, Noel thinks that the situation today of the 76ers is "silly" having to have three starting centers on the lineup. He is also quoted saying, "something needs to done". The report also says that Noel and Jahlil Okafor do not have the chemistry when they are both on the court and it is a disaster for them.
Both players play the center position and with the impending return of Joel Embiid, who is also a center, the position got tighter for the three of them. That is why for the past week, the name of Noel and Okafor are being mentioned on the trading market.
In a separate report by Sportsrageous, Noel's opinion is not new to many and he just wants "things to be situated." The report also says that the Sixers organization admitted that it needs to make a trade before the season starts to form a "more balanced" team.
It is also stated that if the Sixers will make the trade, it will be with the Minnesota Timberwolves or the Boston Celtics. So, will Nerlen Noel be traded by Sixers and grant his "wish"? Stay tuned.
