The Philadelphia 76ers were a team looking to unload some young, talented big men but for the right price. Jahlil Okafor was the name heavily rumored for the last week, but Philly wanted a lot for a player not many teams covet. Okafor hasn’t been moved, but instead, an openly frustrated big man gets traded in his place.
The 76ers have dealt Nerlens Noel, who has publicly said something needed to change concerning Philadelphia’s frontcourt, to the Dallas Mavericks for young wingman Justin Anderson, veteran center Andrew Bogut, and a protected first round pick.
