They're taking Oak.
Remains to be seen if they trade him.
Edit- might be worth it for them to hang on to him. Team is going to be bad next year too, can see how Embiid comes back. Okafor is going to score no matter what, and I don't know that his value will go down. Teams expect him to be bad on D, can't hurt him too much.

Drafting Okafor doesn't mean Philadelphia is keeping Okafor. Sam Hinkie knows his value. Hinkie will be getting a lot of calls tonight.

I think the plan is for Embiid to sit out the 2015 season, and then have Noel sit out 2016, then they all sit out 2017, but come 2018...Fishy1 said:

The Sixers plan to keep Okafor --- for good, sources tell Yahoo. He won't be auctioned in a trade.

@WojYahooNBA: For now, the Sixers plan to keep Okafor -- not trade him, league source tells Yahoo Sports.
@AlexKennedyNBA: We'll see if Philadelphia trades Jahlil Okafor. Boston would love to land him and may put together a monster offer for him.

The 76ers are all about value, they won't trade Embiid at low value. It might make Noel available, but more likely they just go into next season with all 3 if they don't get what they see as value. Especially with Embiid still hurt. It isn't like they plan to be a contender next year anyway.
And as usual nothing happens at the draft. I think teams ask for way too much and thusonly minor trades occur.
@WojYahooNBA: The New York Knicks will select Kristaps Porzingis with the No. 4 pick in the NBA Draft, league source tells Yahoo Sports.
Apparently most of the player are finding out who they are being drafted by when Woj walks over to their tables and tells them.
