76ers Gauging Trade Interest In Jahlil Okafor

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Thu Feb 18, 2016 2:35 am

The Philadelphia 76ers have been gauging the trade value of Jahlil Okafor ahead of the deadline.

The 76ers selected Okafor with the third overall pick last June.

Okafor said less than 24 hours ahead of the deadline that he hadn't really thought about the event.

It was previously reported that the 76ers would likely wait until they can assess the health of Joel Embiid before making a decision on the future of either Okafor or Nerlens Noel.

I buy it, although I don't believe that he's shopping him or that Okafor is even necessarily the big that will be eventually traded. However, one of our bigs is going to have to be traded, knowing their worth around the league is pertinent information.

Tom Moore broke the news and this is follow up tweet.

This would likely make Horford expendable with the trade Rumors and a frontcourt tandem of Milsap/Okafor. Boston or Toronto could come in with a package for Okafor.

I believe it, especially since draft day when they selected him and you could clearly see him say "Aww, sh*t!" just before he walked up looking disappointed. It wouldn't surprise me one bit to see him get traded then play with a new sense of energy and passion not seen in Phily.

Randle for Okafor would be a dream for us. Would love this to bits which is exactly why Philly shouldn't go near it

Not even close. Randle is a career backup.
