The Kings and Pelicans made waves after Sunday's NBA All-Star Game with the huge trade that sent superstar DeMarcus Cousins to New Orleans.
Sacramento sent Cousins to New Orleans for a package that included rookie Buddy Hield, Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway and first- and second-round picks this in this year's draft.
But the Sixers and Pelicans reportedly were very close recently on deal for a "similar" package in exchange for Jahlil Okafor, according to ESPN's Ramona Shelbourne.
That "similar" package was reportedly minus Hield.
So while the Pelicans are now almost certainly out of the running for Okafor, they've still made an impact on the Sixers in the near future.
Remember, the Sixers have the right to swap picks with the Kings in this year's draft via the Nik Stauskas deal in 2015.
So with Sacramento's brightest star now gone, that pick swap could be looking better and better for the Sixers.
As for Okafor, what does all this mean for his status with the Sixers?
