According to Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Philadelphia 76ers are sending Nerlens Noel to the Dallas Mavericks for Justin Anderson, a first round draft pick and Andrew Bogut.
Good trade for both teams. Mavs get a defensive big, and the Sixers get a wing player and a draft pick. But what about Bogut?…

Dallas center Andrew Bogut will go to the 76ers in the Noel trade too, league source tells @TheVertical.

Looking further down the line, it is likely that Bogut will get bought out and released by the Sixers. If that happens look for Bogut to land on the Cavs or Celtics. He would be an asset for either team. Could give the Celts a leg up on the Cavs, particularly if the Celtics acquire a big name wing. If he lands on the Cavs, imagine the intrigue if we get a finals rematch of Warriors v Cavs. Happy trade deadline people.
