Another team trying to beat the NBA deadline are the Philadelphia 76ers. According to The Oregonians, they really are enthusiastic in dealing backup center Jahlil Okafor. After speculation that they had already made a deal with the Pelicans, the team of Chicago bulls just came in the picture.

Another name that propped-up is Serge Ibaka. NBA trade deadline rumors abound that the trade is no longer an "if" but "when." Fan Sided said that the Orlando Magic is now presently studying options on the best trade deal for the power forward. It was reported that the Raptors, Rockets and the Heat are said to be interested. It can be remembered that Ibaka was a prized acquisition from the Thunders this summer. However, with the Magic likely not reaching the play-off, the possibility of re-signing Serge is unlikely.
