Makes some sense.
Sixers probably would say yes especially if they get okafor or towns with their pick.
Magic of course say yes
Okc. Might say yes but could probably do better. Noel replaces ibaka pretty easily. The fifth pick and Tobias Harris would help but probably need more. The magics first in 2017 will be garbage considering durant addition.

okc says no. They give up ibaka for noel. let's just say its a wash for sake of argument. The thunder are then giving up durant for what, 5th pick and a sign and trade? maybe a future pick? that's where its seriously hard to believe.

This is a horrible trade. As a sixers fan I would like this to happen but it wont. There is noway that sixers can just trade noel and be able to get all of those acquisitions.

Orl would have to include the future Lakers pick they own that looks like it will be high atm

There are possible problems for all 3 teams.
OKC of course is losing 2 star players and risks alienating their remaining star.
Orlando gets amazing value, but picks up a ton of risk as KD can obviously leave them and force them to start another rebuild.
Phili seems to like Noel, and we have yet to see Embiid play to dispel injury worries.
It's an interesting idea, but I think there is too much to lose at this point for all 3 teams.
