Jahlil Okafor, Philadelphia 76ers

(Reportedly) Interested Teams: Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Indiana Pacers 

Jahlil Okafor was nearly traded a couple weeks ago to the New Orleans Pelicans. Since then, the Pelicans have added DeMarcus Cousins. I think it’s safe to assume that the Pelicans are no longer interested in Okafor.

Nevertheless, that doesn’t mean other teams aren’t. In an array of reports, Okafor has reportedly drawn interest from the Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Indiana Pacers, and probably a couple other teams that haven’t been made public.

The Sixers really want to move Okafor, and would love to do it at the Trade Deadline. However, I don’t think they’ll feel forced to. There’s really no rush.

Prediction: Jahlil Okafor gets traded to the Indiana Pacers
