The Boston Celtics have long had interest in trading for Jahlil Okafor but view him as more of a project player than an immediate contributor.
Boston is unwilling to trade a first round pick to the 76ers for Okafor, who had his 18-19 rookie scale option declined.
Okafor is seeking a buyout from the 76ers as they continue to seek an asset in return for him on the trade market.
Okafor is out of the 76ers' rotation.
