The Philadelphia 76ers "tried like hell" to trade Jahlil Okafor this offseason, according to a report from Tom Moore of the Bucks County Courier Times.
With Joel Embiid and Nerlens Noel alongside Okafor, the 76ers have a logjam at center.
According to the report, Okafor is "upset and his people are upset."
Okafor responded to the report on Twitter.
"One second I'm reportedly upset to be in Philly, then the next I'm upset about trade rumors and having to leave Philly," wrote Okafor. "Which one is it? Source please confirm. Seems like writers are getting lazy, dropping a fraudulent story and try to make it credible by using that magic word.... Sources! Lol stop it."
