Portland gets Jahlil Okafor

Philadelphia gets Festus Ezili (salary filler to help get Philly to the salary floor), and 2017 1sts from MEM and CLE (both owned by POR)

What the protection on the picks?

Memphis pick is top 5 protected, Clevelands has no protection.

I wouldn't give up two firsts for Okafor though.

I would do it for the mavs pick and cavs pick. O and no need for ezili here. He would be an instant cut. In fact given that he has a year after this season on his deal he's actually a negative for the sixers in this deal. The cavs pick would just be enough to cover adding his contract alone in my mind.

Ezeli isn't guaranteed next year, so he could just be cut. He'd count toward the cap floor this year as well, so his contract is far from a negative.

Also, Portland has to trade someone in the deal, they're over the cap and maxed in contracts. They can't just take on Okafor without trading someone. You could have Leonard instead if you wanted.

Philly says yes in a heart beat. Would love to get 2 1sts for Jah. I really doubt Portland says yes though.
