Jahlil Okafor, Philadelphia 76ers
It’s no secret that the Philadelphia 76ers have been trying to move Jahlil Okafor. Heck, they even left him home during a recent road trip, which was when he was “almost” dealt to – ironically – the New Orleans Pelicans.
Instead, Okafor re-joined the team and now it’s just weird.
Even though Okafor is still very much on the trade block, it’s pretty clear that the market simply isn’t where the Sixers want it to be. And I don’t expect Philly to make a deal simply to make a deal. They’re going to wait for the one they want.
If it doesn’t materialize between now and Thursday, expect Okafor to remain on the Sixers.
