According to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, the Indiana Pacers are one of the most active teams in trade talks so far and are inquiring about Philadelphia 76ers center Jahlil Okafor.
It seems now that the Brook Lopez trade rumor is dead, the Pacers are moving on to other targets.
So what can Okafor offer Indiana?
As Bret Stuter of Sixers Sense puts it, Okafor’s value is often underestimated. He was expected to carry his team as a 20-year old last season, which unsurprisingly, didn’t have great results as far as wins.
