The New Orleans Pelicans are trying to bolster their frontcourt by completing a trade for Philadelphia 76ers big man Jahlil Okafor, according to league sources.
Sources told ESPN.com that the teams were in advanced talks Monday in an attempt to complete the trade.
Philadelphia, sources said, is seeking a future first-round pick in exchange for Okafor, who was selected No. 2 overall in the 2015 draft but has been on the trading block for months -- along with fellow Sixers center Nerlens Noel -- as a result of the Sixers' glut of big men.
