The Philadelphia 76ers have traded Jahil Okafor, Nik Stauskas, and a second-round draft pick for Trevor Booker according to multiple reports on Thursday.

"It’s been real Brooklyn. Will always have nothing but love for you," Booker posted on Twitter. "Loved my time in New York!"

In 2017, Booker is averaging 10.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 0.3 blocks per game. For his career, he is averaging 7.1 points and 5.7 rebounds.

The 30-year forward will bring a veteran presence with tough defense and good rebounding to the up and coming Philly team. He will be battling for playing time in the frontcourt with his new teammates Amir Johnson, Dario Saric, and Richaun Holmes.

Booker's two-year contract with the Nets will expire after the end of this season.
