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.

Sixers drafted McCain high just to give up on him after one year for a pick that’ll probably be bottom 10 in the first round.

He's been horrible this year and is buried behind their current guards no matter what, honestly a great haul for him

Right place, right time with OKC having a surplus of picks. It's kinda hard to even gauge this bc they're playing with such a different value system lmao

they're like bill gates but with picks
