As the Phoenix Suns decide what to do with Greg Monroe, they may have their sights set on a younger big man. The Suns have had interest in Philadelphia 76ers center Jahlil Okafor, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Phoenix acquired Monroe in Tuesday's Eric Bledsoe trade, but are reportedly hoping to flip the 27-year-old center, whose contract expires after this season. Okafor is essentially estranged from the 76ers, having played only two games so far, and asking for either a trade or release.

Phoenix also landed two draft picks in the Bledsoe deal.
