Discussions are in the "advanced stages" per Sam Amick, Woj, and Marc Spears.

If Okafor was going to a well run organization I would guess he wouldn't be being traded for much. With New Orleans...who knows

It sounds like Ajinca and a future first.

odd.

Ajinca is a center with a nearly identical contract to Okafors doesnt do very far in clearing up the logjam.

It won't clear the logjam, but it's better to get a future first round pick and sit Ajinca on the bench than it is to just sit Okafor
I'm bitter.

I potentially like the Okafor and Davis pairing. I think they need to move on from Tyreke, though. Maybe bring in a plus shooter.

It gets worse for the Sixers, apparently the 1st rd pick is the issue. From #3 pick to being offered a second round pick in a little over a year.

I can't wait to see the pick and if it has protections.

Oh, well.  Can't always get what you want.

Source: Pick protection is the hold up in Okafor trade to NO. NOP wants to lottery protect, while PHI wants to take it down to top 5-10.

I also wonder if this is an indication that Philly will keep Noel longterm.

ESPN-
The New Orleans Pelicans are trying to bolster their frontcourt by completing a trade for Philadelphia 76ers ‎big man Jahlil Okafor, according to league sources.

Sources told ESPN.com that the teams were in advanced ‎talks Monday in an attempt to complete the trade.

Philadelphia, sources said, is seeking a future first-round pick in exchange ‎for Okafor, who was selected No. 3 overall in the 2015 draft but has been on the trading block for months -- along with fellow Sixers center Nerlens Noel -- as a result of the Sixers' glut of big men.
