Recently, a recent NBA trade rumor is circling around the web regarding the New York Knicks' interest to trade for Philadelphia 76ers sophomore center, Jahlil Okafor. So, can it really be possible for Jahlil Okafor to be playing for the Big Apple team?
Jahlil Okafor For The New York Knicks?
Reports from Sports Blog state that the New York Knicks should get more talented players as soon as possible for this new NBA season. Jahlil Okafor can possibly transfer to Knicks if the price is right; besides, the 76ers already has a reasonable amount of big men on their roster. The news outlet also reports that the Knicks can offer Justin Holiday or Kyle O'Quinn with their first draft pick to accommodate Jahlil Okafor on their team.
Possible Porzingis-Okafor Tandem For New York Knicks?
The Daily Knicks reports that the team is really considering Philadelphia 76ers Jahlil Okafor as a potential additional player for the Knicks. Over the years, Jahlil Okafor has been compared to Tim Duncan because of the player's footwork and the ability to work in the low post.
On the other hand, Kristaps Porzingis is efficient in defense and is well-known for blocking shots in the player's freshmen year in the league. Both Porzingis and Okafor can possibly work out and make magic for the New York Knicks, if both can stay healthy and improve their skills.
Meanwhile, the New York Knicks remains undecided whether Jahlil Okafor will be traded for their team in the next season or not. On the other hand, Philadelphia 76ers has been considering to trade Okafor for a Boston Celtics' third pick. We'll see what happens next! Stay tuned to GamenGuide for more NBA trade rumors!
