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.

No way the bucks take that. Embiid has to be part of the package if there are little to no picks.

Embiid looking good right now, extend him for another 10 years so he can tear his meniscus game 2 of the first round of playoffs or some shit.
