Chicago Bulls

Noah signed up for the 2007 NBA Draft and was drafted in ninth position by the Chicago Bulls , for whom he then played number 13 for years. His first two years Noah was an important bench player, in his third year he had his breakthrough when he put on an average of 10.7 points and 11.0 rebounds per game.

The Knicks split from Noah in February 2018 after a heated argument with then coach Jeff Hornacek .

Immediately before the start of his third season, the Knicks waived Noah's services with the help of the so-called stretch commission, which allowed the team to offset their wages from the last contractually secured season from 2019 for three years against the salary cap and thus free up funds for new signings.
