Nerlens Noel was traded to the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday morning and the move caught much of Philadelphia off guard. Jahlil Okafor was the player who was rumored to be most likely to be dealt, so when news of Nerlens broke, the emotions were flowing.
One person who didn't overreact was The Process himself, Joel Embiid, who called Nerlens his "best friend on the team."
"Gonna miss my best friend but I'm happy for him... He represented the process since he was here from the start.. One more time>>> Trust It," Embiid tweeted.
Nerlens was also spotted at the Sixers' training complex in Camden giving out some goodbye hugs.
