NBA Trade Rumors: 5 Teams That Could Trade For Jahlil Okafor
By Vijay Vemu
NBA trade rumors are swirling at the moment around Philadelphia 76ers big man Jahlil Okafor. Here are five teams who can trade for the Philly center.
With the news of Dario Saric coming over to the Philadelphia 76ers, they officially have a big man problem. With the addition of the European big man, the 76ers have Jahlil Okafor, Saric, Joel Embiid and Nerlens Noel on the roster.
With four players who are certainly talented enough to get good minutes in the NBA, it will be hard to split the minutes up. The 76ers management knows that as well.
According to Real GM, 76ers president of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo admitted that it was likely that the team would trade one of its three big men. The former Raptors executive said that either Okafor, Embiid or Noel would be traded soon.
All though the chances for either one of those three to be traded are pretty high, the highest chance would go to Okafor being traded. Given that he is a free agent in 2017 and he has played the best of out all three.
