purely a tax move, no way sixers can spin trading a 2nd year guard who he called ROTY as a good move

goodbye to Grimes too then, someone is gonna give him 20 per and the 76ers get nothing

At least we got rid of Eric Gordon finally 😭

Now they retained Barlow though, thankfully. Converting his contract.

And of course you think McCain can be a really great guard. Since he's traded away from Philly....of course you say that now. I like McCain, I think he's talented and has a long career ahead of him. Reality is he was the 4th guard on the team and played absolutely terrible this season. Granted, he was coming off injury. He had no real role in a playoff rotation here. He was never getting time in the playoffs over Maxey, Edgecomb, or Grimes with how he was playing. Not to mention he is far and away the worst defender of those guards too. He was expendable and the return they got could have been much worse.

76ers trade deadline:

Going out:
Jared McCain
Eric Gordon
2023 2nd round pick swap

Coming in:
2026 1st round pick (via HOU)
2027 2nd round pick (most favorable OKC/HOU/IND/MIA)
2028 2nd round pick (via MIL)
2028 2nd round pick (via OKC)

Pretty boring overall.

What’s the point of trading McCain to draft another late 1st that you hope has as much promise as McCain?
