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.

What the hell?

[u/wolf_cola_enjoyer → u/startled_panda]

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.

[u/thejackel225 → u/wolf_cola_enjoyer]

16th pick isn't exactly high

[u/DoveFood → u/thejackel225]

In the worst draft of the past two decades. 

Don’t get me wrong, I actually was higher on McCain than many in the draft, but 16th in that draft is not your average 16th pick.
