Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Wednesday that the Boston Celtics would be the most likely destination for Sixers center Jahlil Okafor if bought out of his contract.
Assuming @JahlilOkafor did get a buyout, the #Celtics would be the most likely destination for the center.

The Sixers recently declined Okafor’s fourth-year option for the 2018-19 season, and are looking to move the big man upon his request. Okafor reportedly wants a buyout from the Sixers, but Philadelphia’s front office has denied that request so far.
