The Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia Sixers have reportedly been in trade talks revolving around Philly's 21-year old big man Jahlil Okafor.

According to CSN's Vincent Goodwill, the two teams have discussed a deal that would send Okafor back to his hometown of Chicago although nothing is imminent at this point in time.

The Bulls would likely need to open up talks with a third team in order to get a deal done, unless they're willing to part with some of their future first-round picks.

Okafor is only averaging 11.5 points and 4.7 rebounds in 23 minutes per game so far this season, but the Sixers would certainly want more than just Bobby Portis, Denzel Valentine or Cristiano Felicio in exchange for the former #3 overall pick.
