Jahlil Okafor has been the subject of a whole host of trade rumors this summer, and he’s pretty tired of hearing about it.
On Sunday night, Okafor used Twitter to call out reporters and conflicting stories and the use of anonymous sources to share them.
One second I'm reportedly upset to be in Philly, then the next I'm upset about trade rumors and having to leave Philly.

Which one is it? Source please confirm. Seems like writers are getting lazy, dropping a fraudulent story and try to make it credible by

With all that being said. I love where I am, and I am excited about this upcoming season. Big season for us! #Philly

In fairness, there probably is something to the rumors, his name having come up for months in reports. More recently, a team even reportedly had an offer on the table for him. It’s surely frustrating to come up in trade rumors a lot, and even more frustrating when one report is seemingly at odds with another. The general consensus might be that Okafor is available, but the asking price is high.
