All summer, almost immediately after another deal is done, the mentions of every media member connected to the Mavericks floods with questions of Nerlens Noel’s status.
“When is Nerlens going to sign?”
“Why hasn’t Nerlens signed?”
“What does this mean for Nerlens?”
From P.J. Dozier to now Jeff Withey, apparently everything has something to do with why Noel hasn’t signed yet. The problem with that logic is that not every move an NBA team makes is consequential to something else on the roster.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t consequences to adding a player though.
