The NBA trade rumor mill has been busy and the latest of which involves Golden States Warriors trading Shaun Livingston to Philadelphia's 763rs in exchange for Noel Nerlens. According to some speculations, the Golden State Warriors is very keen on acquiring Noel and that they are willing to trade Shaun Livingston for the 763rs center player.
It has been reported that the Golden State Warriors are currently improving their roster after the team acquired Kevin Durant during the offseason. And as part for this team's undertaking, the Warriors is planning to get 76ers center Noel to help better their game plans and techniques.
With a report from ChattSportsNet, the Golden State Warriors is relying on Noel as they would be expecting him to fill the void left by the center Andrew Bogut. With this, the Warriors would be able to improve both their offensive and defensive gameplay. Noel Nerlens is averaging 11.1 points, 1.5 blocks and 8.1 rebounds per game the previous season.
If this NBA trade would materialize, Noel Nerlens will team up with point guard Stephen Curry, small forward Kevin Durant, shooting guard Clay Thompson, and another small forward Andre Iguodala and some of the Warriors rosters.
Meanwhile, SB Nation Philadelphia 76ers are pushed to void their overloaded frontcourt occupied with center players. The team sees the advantage of getting Livingston in exchange for Noel in order for them to enhance their front court issue. If this would materialize, there would be a great possibility that their overall defensive gameplay will be enhanced.
However, there is a report that Golden State Warriors is not really interested to trade Shaun Livingston as he is a great support to Stephen Curry and that the team is not really into the idea of letting him go. Livingston has been showing great improvements in his gameplay and he has been good in finishing great offense.
Even if the Golden State Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers will both benefit from this NBA trade rumor involving Shaun Livingston and Noel Nerlens, none of them has officially given their comments and announcements.
