We started the season with 2 of the 5, and if we had missed Reke in the draft, might well have had 3 of the 5 with Flynn. *shudder*

I have actually heard this about Noc before, from similar stats years ago -- I always assumed because he jsut doesn't have a natural matchup -- too slow for SFs, too small for PFs. Of course those same stats charged Harpring with being a poor defender too, so I never knew. In any case, I think pretty much everyone, Andres included, thinks it would be better if he were elsewhere, but frankly stories liek this don't help efforts to trade him.
 
The only good thing about the Miller/Salmons for Noc trade was that it helped us to more Lins, and therefor helped us get Tyreke "Awesome-Incarnate" Evans.

I hope we can somehow get rid of Noc, but I doubt it. At least he's uh...Hard nosed. And stuff.
