With two weeks left to the NBA’s busiest night for trades and three before the opening of free agency, the rumors have started to fly ... and three reporters covering the Nets contend the Nets have interest in Nerlens Noel, the Knicks shot-blocking, rim-running center.
Ian Begley of SNY, Mike Mazzeo of Forbes Sports Money and Brian Lewis of the Post suggest that the Nets have interest in Noel who played well for the cross-river rivals last season, averaging 5.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in 24 minutes over 64 games, 41 of them starts.
