Report: Sixers Trade Nerlens Noel to Mavericks For Andrew Bogut, Justin Anderson and First-Round Pick
Back in December, Nerlens Noel voiced his displeasure with his minutes and said that he and the Sixers had to “figure this shit out.” Since then, Noel has seen an uptick in minutes and production and is now on his way out of town.
According to Woj, Noel has been traded to the Dallas Mavericks for Justin Anderson, Andrew Bogut and a first-round pick:

Noel is going to be a restricted free agent this summer and is in line for a big contract and the Mavs are reportedly interested in inking the big man to an extension:
The Mavericks have long been intrigued with Noel, and will work to sign him to an extension. Noel's a restricted free agent.

Bogut has been on the radar of several contenders to boost their front line defense, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he will be flipped again before the day is over.
