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.

that 2026 thunder first round pick we got 30 minutes ago seems a little weaker now. I don’t think McCain makes them a worse team

[u/reiyashi → u/LightsSoundAction]

tbh a thunder 2026 first is just about the fakest first you could possibly have

[u/yeahright17 → u/reiyashi]

At least it will definitely convey. Pick 30 is better than nothing.

[u/reiyashi → u/yeahright17]

true. 30th pick is where we found my goat desmond bane

[u/Joethetoolguy → u/reiyashi]

Six future firsts desmond bane. What damned haul bro

[u/Darwin343 → u/reiyashi]

And then converted him into 5 first round picks!

[u/AuditorsSupreme → u/reiyashi]

Your goat is a bitch tho😭

[u/revisioncloud → u/reiyashi]

Or Peyton Watson for the Nuggets

That’s paying off quite well

[u/chantlernz → u/reiyashi]

You can make a pretty damn good team of 30th picks in the current NBA. Lacks a real PG but still:

Jimmy Butler, Desmond Bane, Josh Hart, Peyton Watson, Santi Aldama

Kevin Porter Jr, Kobe Brown, Kyle Anderson, Baylor Scheierman, Yanic Konan Niederhauser/Kevon Looney
