Philadelphia 76ers

See, the 76ers have so many options on which way to take their franchise. However, none of those directions really seem to involve their forgotten man, Jahlil Okafor. It was not that long ago tat the number three pick was putting up 18 points and 7 rebounds every night, on efficient shooting.

However, with Embiid being the long-term starter, the 76ers will look to trade Okafor before his value diminishes any further.

Minnesota Timberwolves

After fleecing the bulls for Jimmy Butler on draft day, the Timberwolves’ timeline has fast forwarded a little. Now a realistic destination for free agents like Paul Millsap, they will need to shed contracts like Cole Aldrich and even Gorgui Dieng to balance their roster.
