I think the main purpose of Noel signing with OKC was to increase his value for a higher paying contract. Looks like it worked.
Sorta stinks for OKC, but they have a pretty good ability to take "lockeroom problem" type players and get them rehabbed for higher contracts down the road. Dion Waiters, Enes Kanter, Nerlens Noel, etc.
