The Brooklyn Nets<\/a> have done it again. General manager Sean Marks<\/a><\/strong> executed yet another trade that acquired talent on the cheap. Jahlil Okafor<\/a><\/strong> is headed to Kings County. Here’s a closer look at the Jahlil Okafor trade and how it will impact the Nets.<\/p>\n

Jahlil Okafor Trade and the Nets: A Closer Look<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Transaction recap<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> traded center<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>Jahlil Okafor, guard Nik Stauskas<\/a><\/strong>, and a second-round draft pick to the Nets for forward\/center Trevor Booker<\/a><\/strong>. To further accommodate\u00a0this move, the Nets waived reserve guard and fan favorite Sean Kilpatrick<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This puts an end to an absolute nightmare for Okafor, who fell out of the 76ers’ plans once budding star Joel Embiid<\/a><\/strong> became healthy. Okafor, however, never showed great excitement about being in Philadelphia. One can remember the introductory press conference when Okafor simply dropped his new 76ers jersey and left the room upon its conclusion.<\/p>\n
