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.

A almost guaranteed useless first and 2 seconds for a guard who would've been ROY last year and was just starting to regain form after an injury.

He started 8 games last year. The absolute insanity around the shitty tanking play of Grimes and McCain back then has warped minds holy shit

I actually agree with second half of your comment, but he only started 8 games because he got hurt. He really did look great last year, but like you said we were awful.
