Okafors Case Study
The NBA trade deadline is only 17 days away and it seems that the trade winds are once again swirling around Philadelphia 76ers big man Jahlil Okafor. Last Friday, it was reported by Vincent Goodwill of CSNChicago.com that the Chicago Bulls were interested in Okafor.

However, you can now add a new team to the list when it comes to trading for Okafor's services. Per Sam Amick of USA Today, the New Orleans Pelicans are in trade talks with the Sixers to acquire Okafor.

This is not surprising to hear that the Sixers are interested in the former point guard's services. A couple of weeks ago, Zach Lowe of ESPN.com mentioned in his column on the Pelicans that the Sixers will take a hard look at Holiday in free agency.

If that is the case, then the ball is in the Sixers' court to do whatever they so choose to with Okafor. They can wait for the best possible to deal to present itself as they have spoken with eight teams about Okafor per Amick.

One thing we can say for sure is that Okafor will be moved by the deadline. The question now is what will be the deal best for the Sixers to take.

Update: According to Jon Johnson of WIP, the Sixers are seeking a third team to help facilitate a potential Jahlil Okafor trade to New

    2015-16 Fantasy Basketball Outlook **Willie Cauley-Stein** In an effort to improve upon their 27th ranked defense, the Sacramento Kings made Kentucky Junior center their selection with the 6th pick in 2015 NBA draft. The 2015 1st team All-American averaged 25.9 minutes, 8.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks while shooting 57.2 percent from the field last season.

    Making Okonkwo into a real person would result him to being similar to Alfred Jodl. Alfred Jodl was a German general in World War 2 and a staff officer in World War 1. From history records it was said that he planned and conduct most of Germany’s military campaign. No matter what he did, what Alfred Jodl was most known for was being very dedicated and loyal to Adolf Hitler and Germany.
