Philadelphia 76ers: 5 Trade Scenarios For Noel/Okafor

Jahlil Okafor, 24th pick, 27th pick to Phoenix for Brandon Knight, 4th pick in the draft:

Much like in the Noel deal, the Phoenix Suns would get a low post threat that would increase their front court depth. In this deal they are giving up offensive star Brandon Knight, but are freeing up some cap space at the same time.

The Phoenix Suns would also acquire two late first rounders, giving them the ability to pick up two low salary players in their chase to regain relevance in the Western Conference.

Brandon Knight would improve the offensive of the Philadelphia 76ers immediately, and would give the team an outside scorer. At the same time, the Philadelphia 76ers would also be able to take guard Kris Dunn with the 4th pick in the draft. Dunn and Knight in the back court would complement each other well. Add in either Ben Simmons or Brandon Ingram and you have dynamic backcourt that could score in a multitude of ways.

This deal would benefit both teams immensely, as the Phoenix Suns grab a potential front court star and two picks, while the Philadelphia 76ers obtain a proven guard and a top 5 pick. If the team were to deal Jahlil Okafor, it’s hard to pick a deal that would give the Philadelphia 76ers a higher return. The likelihood of this deal could be questioned, but this scenario isn’t just a fantasy.
