With 76ers looking to have a loaded team full of youth but in need of a knock down shooter with a good chance to be playoff bound in 17/18 do you think he could fit well or would agree to recharge his career in Philly?
76ers have tonnes of capspace with a loaded front court but should look to move on Okafor seeing the focus on Embiid and could use someone with Melos skillset.
Also if it is the case, what could the trade look like?

Why would we want Okafor...? His contract is worth less now that he's in his 3rd year and i'm pretty sure they wouldt rade him for a bag of peanuts at this point. Oh and btw, Melo has a NTC.
Misread what I'm saying. Okafor has no place in PHI and they should trade him to someone like SAS and given he moves then they could use what Melo offers
Melo isn't moving to Philly. He doesn't want to be a part of a rebuild. He wants to be prime-time playing in the spotlight (regardless of how good his team is). Only place I see him actually going to would be LA (either team) or Cleveland.
True however all the stars on PHI would have to follow the vet in Melo. I dunno I see it as a chance for him to be top dog in a possible good team
They wouldn't want him... stops the ball, demands too many touches while they're trying to develop the young guys. Melo would only make sense for a contending team... it's what Melo would waive his NTC for.
Don't see it. At this point in time and because of his nature and personality as a player, he most likely wants to be on an playoff experienced roster that can get him a ring literally right now.
No chance Melo waives his no-trade for Philly.
