The Dallas Mavericks traded for Nerlens Noel back in 2017. He proved he could be a starting center during the 2015-2016 season, but the Sixers also had Joel Embiid on their roster. Philly decided to deal Noel to Dallas for Justin Anderson, Andre Bogut, and two second-round picks. The Mavs secured a young talented center as they were just starting a rebuild.
It is safe to say that Noel’s time in Dallas did not go as planned for either side. He struggled to stay healthy.
