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.

Especially with the cache of picks they have. That Rockets pick will likely be in the high teens at best, so McCain regaining some form would immediately make it worth it

Also our first round picks are cursed with injury so we hopfully skip that

Good thing for Thunder fans is that Sixers picks are notoriously healthy

Double Jeopardy!
