Trade Details
On February 23, 2017, the Dallas Mavericks acquired center Nerlens Noel from the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Justin Anderson, Andrew Bogut, and a 2017 protected first-round pick. The move comes after Noel had previously expressed frustration over his playing time in Philadelphia, where he was often overshadowed by All-Star center Joel Embiid.Noel, who was selected sixth overall by the 76ers in the 2013 NBA Draft, has shown flashes of his potential throughout his career. However, injuries and inconsistency have prevented him from establishing himself as a consistent starter. In 23 games with the Mavericks this season, he has averaged 6.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game.
