NBA Trade Rumors: Is Philadelphia 76ers Still Considering Trade for Jahlil Okafor And Nerlens Noel?

NBA trade rumor stories had been including the name of Jahlil Okafor and Nerlens Noel of the Philadelphia 76ers. But is the team still considering to trade both of them or just one of them?

Apparently, Jahlil Okafor and Nerlens Noel are promising potential basketball stars. But it is also obvious that the 76ers has an excess of big men and it could be possible that they are letting go of one of them.

NBA trade rumor said that the 76ers have had periodic trade talks about Noel and Okafor and are planning to eventually move one of them since they don't believe the talents of the two players are complementary, Yahoo Sports reported.

Both players are linked to several teams in the NBA league but up to now, no deal has been sealed. If Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor stay with the Sixers, they would have to live the tough environment there and fight for their minutes.

Although both the players are already linked to different teams in the NBA league, there is no sealed deal yet. But if they stay with the Sixers, they will surely need to live with the tough environment in the team.

Brett Brown revealed that it isn't really easy to play in Sixers especially for the positions of Okafor and Noel wherein they both play as center. When they are both on the floor, one needs to play out of position, Parent Herald reported.

Aside from that, Joel Embiid is also playing for the same position and received more trust from Brown. Embiid is even named as the strongest defense for the team while Noel and Okafor still have to earn their minutes.

Indeed, the Philadelphia 76ers isn't the best place for Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor. Inquisitr reported that the team is still open to deal them and are waiting for other offers as well.

According to NBA Trade rumor, teams where both players were linked include the Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
