76ers to trade Jahlil Okafor or Nerlens Noel this summer?
ESPN NBA insider Chad Ford told 97.3 ESPN that there is a “very high likelihood” the Sixers trade Okafor or Noel and it’s a little more likely to be Okafor
The 76ers may trade Jahlil Okafor or Nerlens Noel before the start of next season, according to ESPN’s Chad Ford.
Per CBS Local, With the No. 1 overall pick, picks No. 24 and 26, a boatload cap space, the hopeful additions of injury-laden Joel Embiid and Croatian forward Dario Saric, and young talented big men in Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor, the Sixers have plenty of options — or as Sam Hinkie (respect) would call it — optionality.

NBA reporter David Aldridge first put the wheels in motion for a draft-day Okafor trade earlier in the week, writing the 76ers “covet” another high first-round pick and have “strong support for Noel” within the organization.
The Celtics, one of a plethora of teams speculatively interested in Okafor, have picks No. 3, 16, and 23 in the first-round. The Celtics, reportedly, tried to acquire Okafor during last season’s trade deadline.
