10 Assets Cleveland Cavaliers Could Acquire During 2016-17 Season

2. Nerlens Noel

As the roster currently stands, the Cavaliers do not have any player that naturally falls into the center position. While Noel has been relegated to the power forward spot on a Philadelphia 76ers squad, he really would fit nicely as a rim-protecting center.

Noel has shown flashes of brilliance on the defensive end in his career, and several experts predict that Noel could be the next great rim-protecting center.

This is something that the Cavaliers could desperately use on its roster, not just for this season but for the next several years. While Noel is in a contract season, if the Cavs pulled the trigger on acquiring him, they could lock him up long-term on a deal that would be extremely favorable in just a couple of years.

The 76ers have expressed a willingness to part ways with Noel for the right price, especially with a logjam of big men on its roster.
