The Nets signed veteran Nerlens Noel to a 10-day contract, filling out their final roster space after it had been open since the trade deadline. The Locked on Nets guys talk about a move like this for the Nets this late in the season, and what it means for other guys on the roster like Ben Simmons and Day’Ron Sharpe. Could it mean that Brooklyn thinks that Ben Simmons is going to miss even more extended time? Have they effectively given up on Sharpe being a meaningful contributor this season? They break down the move and what it means for the team.Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

Great show.
Noel’s shot isn’t broken if he had to shoot.
Ben will Resurge
If ben simmons couldn't play in the same lineup with claxton, I doubt it'll work with nerlens noel as the backup PG even tho he can be better than what seth curry is doing as the backup PG
Seems like nets lately have been running drop w claxton and switch 1-4 which would fit with noel
DFS IS 10 times better than Ben Simmons! Not to mention he can shoot the 3 ball and play defense and bring the ball up the court. Ben Simmons is out of place with this new roster. Tired of Ben Simmons excuses with this knee soreness b/s. Everybody in the nba has knee soreness.
Simmons appears to not like playing. Noel has nothing to do with this.
I see the final roster of Bridges, Johnson, DFS , Dinwiddie, Ben Simmons (if/when healrhy) Claxton, O'Neale, Thomas,Nerlen..
Harris, Seth, Watanabe, Patty, Sumner, and Sharpe are the backups
We are 🔥 🔥 🔥
Let's not get ahead of ourselves regarding Nerlens Noel. He was bought out by the Pistons. A franchise with the worst win/loss record paid him to go away. He's on a 10 day (show me) contract. Players coming off the scrap heap like Noel, at this point in the season, seldom make a positive impact. It's best to take a wait and see attitude before penciling him in as a rotation player. The odds are against him making the cut, but we'll see.
