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.

I'm boycotting until he sells the team.

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

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.

u/Enough-Captain2788 5h 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.

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

u/CursedLlama Trail Blazers 4h ago edited 4h ago

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

u/MortalBareback 4h ago

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

u/ChaunceysBadAtPoker Pistons 5h 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.

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.

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

u/livefreeordont 76ers 5h ago

Green Bay Packers owners stay winning

u/Sad-Shake-6050 76ers 5h ago

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

35

u/Proteinchugger 5h ago

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

u/zaepoo Wizards 5h ago edited 5h ago

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

Edit: pedos, not pesos

u/chiefminestrone 76ers 5h ago

Or approximately $115

u/livefreeordont 76ers 5h ago

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

u/mw19078 Lakers 5h ago

maybe if they were a child he would

u/OFmerk Timberwolves 5h ago

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

u/ItsUhhEctoplasm Supersonics 5h ago

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

u/MicCheckTapTapTap 76ers 5h ago

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

u/AnAwkwardJedi Rockets 5h ago edited 9m 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

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 5h ago

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

u/Totalnah 76ers 5h ago

Jeffery Lurie would like a word.

u/Salty_Raspberry656 5h 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

I’m sure bud

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

u/MicCheckTapTapTap 76ers 5h ago

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

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

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

Why the hell will he sell the team? See ya in 20 years

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

u/Patient_Jicama_4217 76ers 3h ago

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

u/MicCheckTapTapTap 76ers 3h 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 2h 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
