With that in mind, NBA insider Chad Ford doesn’t think the Sixers will wait. In fact, in an interview for 97.3 ESPN, the veteran reporter went on to describe the possibility of either Okafor or Noel being traded before the 2016-17 season as likely. Chad Ford: I think that there’s a very high likelihood, that whether it’s to move up in the draft or use them to grab a free agent in a sign and trade or just to a trade, that you will not see the Nerlens Noel-Jahlil Okafor pairing at the start of next season. I think that they’ll gauge the interest of both players. I think that there might be a slight preference for Noel, to keep him around with the Sixers, and I think you might be right, there might be a slight, better value for Okafor out on the market, but I think everyone agrees that that combination of those two players doesn’t necessarily work.
Not interested in another non-shooter.But I'd happily do the #3 for Okafor, especially if the temptation is to waste it on the Euromistake.
Even if you imagine Bender in the best possible light, that player probably meshes better with Noel than Okafor.

I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.
