Many tend to forget that Joakim Noah was born and raised in New York, and he also played most of his high school basketball at Poly Prep in Brooklyn.
The 31-year-old Noah is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1 for the first time in his nine-year career. If the Nets aren’t able to retain Thomas Robinson, Noah could become one of Brooklyn’s top options to replace him.
The Nets already have Brook Lopez at center and Thaddeus Young at power-forward, so the question is: should the Nets go for another big man?
