In the unlikely scenario the Sixers move on from their rookie sensation, the Bulls are already on the call in hopes to land Jahlil Okafor, according to ESPN writers. Okafor, Chicago native, has had a hard time staying out of trouble in Philadelphia. The Sixers may roll the dice with Nerlans Noel and Joel Embiid, which makes Okafor the odd-man out.
Sources: Bulls have discussed Jahlil Okafor with Philadelphia but would need a 3rd team.

Several League sources believe that Dwight Howard will be dealt today. Charlotte, Miami, Boston, Chicago and Atlanta are all involved.

The Bulls have kept their foot in the door with the Dwight Howard trade talks. Howard, unlike Okafor, is more likely to be traded before the deadline. The Bulls will keep talks alive with the Rockets as their contingency plan for the deadline.
