Since the last offseason, Philadelphia 76ers center Jahlil Okafor has been ignoring every trade rumor surrounding him and frequently said that he’s happy to stay in the City of Brotherly Love. However, Okafor realized that it’s time for him to stop fooling himself and say his heart’s content.
“Sometimes I do think it would be great to get a fresh start, be on a new team, new surroundings, new teammates. I think about that often and I think that’s something that could benefit me,” Okafor said, per SB Nation.
No one can blame Jahlil Okafor for giving such demand. He has been treated worse than a spare tire in Philadelphia since Joel Embiid came into the scene. From an explosive rookie season, Okafor found himself out of the Sixers’ rotation in the following year. In line with his diminishing role, his numbers also started to go down.
