The Sixers finally dealt one of their many big men, but it wasn’t necessarily the one people were expecting. Jahlil Okafor has seen his name tied to several trade rumors (and a couple nearly-completed deals), except it was Nerlens Noel who general manager Bryan Colangelo opted to move instead.
Here’s how the trade worked out:
Philadelphia received: Andrew Bogut, Justin Anderson, and a top-18 protected first-round pick in 2017. If the pick does not convey this year, the Sixers will receive a 2017 and 2018 second round pick from Dallas.
Dallas received: Nerlens Noel.
