@ESPNNBA: Get used to seeing Nerlens Noel in a suit. The 76ers rookie might miss the entire season: http://t.co/SxImvXk4fn http://t.co/aU85gDozeK

~$25m a year locked up with Favors and Hayward. Huge faith.

Considering they could possibly get a player like Rudy gay for less coin.... enough said.
Why not down under?
By the end of 2013-14, the NBA since 1978 will have staged 148 preseason or regular season games in 20 countries and territories across Europe, North and South America and Asia. Still waiting their turn – to answer the many emails we get here at HTB – are Australia and New Zealand.
Scott Levy, senior vice president and managing director, NBA Asia, acknowledged the heavy interest in the NBA in those countries. Past and present players have hailed from there, including Andrew Bogut, Patty Mills, Luc Longley, Sean Marks, Shane Heal, Chris Anstey and Nathan Jawai. Oklahoma City’s first-round pick Steven Adams is from New Zealand and Cleveland’s Kyrie Irving was born in Melbourne.
Participation is high, Australia ranks No. 1 in subscribers to NBA League Pass International and in NBAstore.com’s international revenue, and the country certainly has the sports facilities and culture befitting a possible preseason destination.
“Australia is an important market for the NBA in the region and we enjoy a great following from our fans,” Levy said. “We have conducted several NBA events in the country, including the 2011 Asia Pacific Team Camp featuring the top youth basketball players from Australia, New Zealand, China, and South Korea. There have been discussions around many different programs from grass-roots clinics, development programs, mass participation events, and a preseason game, but nothing is definite at this point.”

If he played the full 48 minutes that would equate to 72 points and 72 rebounds, not a bad night's work.
The heat wouldn't risk another him for more than 10 mins. Risk of a knee injury to high.
