NBA Trade Rumors: Dion Waiters Coming Back Home? Joakim Noah On The Block?

The newest NBA trade rumors involved the Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah, and Dion Waiters of the Oklahoma Thunder.

According to All About Rookies, the Chicago Bulls might be tired of the injury that always plagues Joaquim Noah.

"Noah is no longer the star of the Chicago Bulls, in fact, he doesn't even start for them anymore. Nikola Mirotic and Pau Gasol have that honor," it said. "Not to mention that he is competing for bench minutes with veteran Taj Gibson and eager rookie Bobby Portis."

For this season, Joakim Noah is averaging a pedestrian 3.1 points, 8.2 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game, which were way below his career averages of 9.5 points, 9.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks a game.

Aside from Kelly Olynyk, there's David Lee, Jared Sullinger, Amir Johnson and Tyler Zeller.

Dion Waiters is having a quiet but effective year for the Oklahoma Thunder as he averages 10.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists although the team is struggling with the injury to superstar Kevin Durant.

However, according to the NBA trade rumors, the 6-4 South Philly guard is reportedly keen on playing for the Philadephia 76ers.

"He wants to come home," the alleged source said. "Plus, he knows that he could be the missing shooting guard they need. And he could possibly get a [very lucrative] contract with the Sixers."

But Oklahoma Thunder might still look to trade Dion Waiters instead of letting him walk away through free agency next year. Whether a deal can be had for the Philadelphia 76ers, which do have a young core, is another story altogether.
