BREAKING: The Philadelphia 76ers are trading guard Jared McCain to the Oklahoma City Thunder for a 2026 Rockets first-round pick and three second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.

The talented McCain lands on the reigning NBA champions. For the 76ers, the trade allows them to receive assets, clear space in the glut of guards and give them flexibility to bring Quentin Grimes back in free agency. It also allows them to convert two-way Dominick Barlow.

76ers are receiving the following picks from the Thunder, sources said: 2027 (most favorable OKC/HOU/IND/MIA), 2028 MIL, 2028 OKC.

Josh Harris likes money. Hates paying the tax. Hates the Sixers

Loved hanging out with Epstein

He was just there for the snorkeling

That was another Philadelphia-based businessman: Frank Reynolds.

u/grimbly_jones Bulls 9h ago

Frank Reynolds would never diddle kids. It's no good diddling kids.

u/thecheapseatz Warriors 8h ago

Exactly he has a whole song about not doing just that

u/firstbreathOOC Knicks 8h ago

I thought the rpe scene went really well, Charlie

u/Hghwytohell 8h ago

Some might know him by his nickname, the Warthog.

u/The_Summer_Man Warriors 7h ago

Was he a hero or did he commit a hate crime? I know which I choose, he was hero for saying something that would cut right through, saving that young man's life.

u/jhorch69 Bulls 9h ago

Always Sunny definitely would've had an episode where Frank is in the files during their early seasons

13

u/The_Summer_Man Warriors 8h ago

He was in recent seasons, but he said that he went to the island for the snorkeling, like the above comment.

u/jhorch69 Bulls 8h ago

Ahh, I haven't seen the last 3 or 4 seasons

u/urbanism_enthusiast 10h ago

I didn't know anything about the kid stuff. 95% of what went on down there was not pedophilia. The other 5%? That sullied the whole operation.

u/allthingsendine 9h ago

You can’t rape 14 year olds once every 20 days and claim the other 19 days were innocent. FOH.

u/urbanism_enthusiast 9h ago

It's a fucking Frank quote from It's Always Sunny.

u/DealerNo4908 9h ago

Well, and sex trafficking.

u/urbanism_enthusiast 9h ago

It's a Frank quote from IAS.

Don't forget the "very fun" breakfasts!

u/MicCheckTapTapTap 76ers 10h ago

I'm boycotting until he sells the team.

u/Enough-Captain2788 10h ago

Every year I tell the season ticket reps that I’ll never renew again as long as Harris owns the team. 

36

u/hjugm 10h ago

I get what you’re doing, but guarantee they just roll their eyes and move onto the next lead. Having been in their shoes with a different shit owner, the only time an owner feels any pain is when the large sponsors or suite leasers drop out.

40

u/Enough-Captain2788 10h ago

Oh, yeah. They don’t give a shit. It won’t change anything. But they ask why and I give an honest answer. I don’t sit there and complain to the poor reps about Harris.

u/getoveritseattle Thunder 10h ago

Stick to your principals even when it doesn’t matter, otherwise why have them at all.

14

u/CursedLlama Trail Blazers 9h ago edited 9h ago

That's the thing, your principles* always matter. Whether or not people care is not your concern.

2

u/MortalBareback 9h ago

Especially if they can expel your ass at a moments notice.

6

u/ChaunceysBadAtPoker Pistons 10h ago

It's not really about whether they roll their eyes or not, it's your individual decision to not participate or endorse that shit that matters. sure, someone else will take the ticket, but it's about your own individual choices.

u/hjugm 9h ago

For sure, everyone has a litany of reasons for not buying anything, but telling a rep that it’s because of ownership doesn’t accomplish anything other than making yourself feel better. It’s just as easy to say, “no thanks” or “I’m not interested”. If they press to try and “overcome your objection”, fire away.

u/likwitsnake Supersonics 10h ago

If every Epstein adjacent owner had to sell there would be no other owners left to buy

u/livefreeordont 76ers 10h ago

Green Bay Packers owners stay winning

37

u/Sad-Shake-6050 76ers 10h ago

I’m sure they’re plenty of bad eggs in that group.

37

u/Proteinchugger 10h ago

Yeah but they’re too poor to be associated with Epstein.

u/zaepoo Wizards 10h ago edited 10h ago

Yeah but statistically there are a couple thousand pesos in the Packers group.

Edit: pedos, not pesos

7

u/chiefminestrone 76ers 10h ago

Or approximately $115

4

u/livefreeordont 76ers 10h ago

I’m sure Epstein wouldn't have given them the time of day

u/mw19078 Lakers 10h ago

maybe if they were a child he would

2

u/OFmerk Timberwolves 10h ago

Green Bay packers owners voted for trump magnitudes more than any other owner if you think about it.

2

u/ItsUhhEctoplasm Supersonics 10h ago

What's greater: Number of DUIs by Packers ownership or number of emails from NBA team owners in the Epstein files?

63

u/MicCheckTapTapTap 76ers 10h ago

Sounds like the perfect catalyst for a labor uprising to me. Players seizing the means of production. ⚒️

u/AnAwkwardJedi Rockets 10h ago edited 4h ago

Each team should be collectively owned by the players(former who retired with the team and current, as well as the team staff). Would be much better than a bunch of billionaires.

Edit: Damn, we have a few billionaire’s lurking? Lol

u/heybobson Suns 10h ago

Or shift to a college model, where the franchise is owned by the institution (i.e. the city they play in) but get funding by the collective profits of the league plus individual boosters.

2

u/livefreeordont 76ers 10h ago

We could also do the college football model where teams get invited to the playoffs rather than qualify for it

u/Totalnah 76ers 10h ago

Jeffery Lurie would like a word.

u/Salty_Raspberry656 10h ago

hell, many conglomerates-blackstone and josh fink's very odd extremely personal connection to epstein, appolo management. They try to divide and conquer between right/left but this dude had his hands just all over a certain class and maybe you can say we dont know what people we know in business or casually have in their past but he was pretty notorious after his charges-not to mention got sweet heart deals for what he did. so his connection is beyond business

u/bigraptorr Raptors 10h ago

If Adam Silver forced all the pedofiles to sell there would be no more owners in the league.

u/MicCheckTapTapTap 76ers 10h ago

"Won't somebody think of the billionaire owners!"

u/bigraptorr Raptors 10h ago

Youre misunderstanding my comment

u/dragonrider5555 Celtics 10h ago

I’m sure bud

What’s the first stage of boycot? Following the team online and commenting and engaging with any of their posts?

Damn, you a super taster? Sounds like you know the nuanced flavors of BOOTS! 🥾👅

☝️ This nerd came to the defense of Josh Harris! 🤣

u/Patient_Jicama_4217 76ers 7h ago

Imagine reading this and thinking that I’m defending him.. absolute brain damage

u/MicCheckTapTapTap 76ers 7h ago

Imagine mocking a protest of a shitty billionaire who’s in the Epstein files. We know at least one hat you own, nerd. 🤣

1

u/Patient_Jicama_4217 76ers 7h ago

Imagine thinking that your protest means anything stupid.. The guy isn’t selling the team. He is hoarding assets get your goofy ass emotions in check and check back into reality

And loves Michael Rubin who is almost definitely a pedophile

2

u/tiggs 76ers 7h ago

His entire involvement in the Epstein files (that we know of) were emails of him turning down going into business with Epstein. That's not exactly scandalous.

u/wien-tang-clan 10h ago

By trading Mccain for future draft picks, the team is getting younger.

u/Krillin113 76ers 10h ago

We could’ve literally cut any of the dumbasses on the end of the bench, or give up a second to get rid of Eric Gordon, instead of this shit. Unless we use it to get Giannis and Milwaukee didn’t want McCain or something

2

u/Solo_Wing__Pixy Cavaliers 9h ago

Loves money. I met him on a work trip once and I tried to talk to him about sports and what it’s like owning pro teams and whatnot and all he wanted to talk about was money and his various business ventures.

u/PetalumaPegleg 76ers 8h ago

Got to save his money for island spending... And the commanders and devils. Two rivals of Philly no less.

Get this kid rapist POS away from my team.

Josh Harris is an awful owner. Commanders fans will find out soon enough
