These five teams should consider trading for Philadelphia 76ers center Jahlil Okafor.

The Philadelphia 76ers are heading into their most interesting offseason yet this summer, as the team possesses the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft and will likely be making plenty of roster moves to balance the roster and take the next step toward rebuilding their team.

With Joel Embiid returning this year, the team likely to draft Ben Simmons and Dario Saric coming to the team from overseas to play, the 76ers will have some interesting decisions to make regarding Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor.

According to ESPN’s Chad Ford and Marc Stein, the 76ers will likely move one of the centers this summer to collect assets and build depth at another spot on the roster. If the 76ers are going to move one of the two, the likely center to go would seem to be Okafor, as Noel can provide a little more versatility to the team.

If a team is to acquire Okafor, they are going to need the right collection of picks and young talent in any deal to entice the 76ers in a trade for their big man. There should be plenty of suitors for his services and these would be the five destinations that would seem most likely for him.
