BREAKING: The Philadelphia 76ers are trading guard Jared McCain to the Oklahoma City Thunder for a 2026 Rockets first-round pick and three second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.
Thinking more about it, I really like this trade for both teams. OKC gets a cost controlled rotation player that will come handy next season when they get expensive. Assuming they don't do any other moves, Dieng will be cut to open roster spot for McCain. He never really got the opportunity in OKC, but there could be some hidden upside for someone to give it a try on vet min deal (second year non-guaranteed). Athletic player that might not be a complete non shooter. I saw him play a couple of times and he looked solid.
Philly had too many guards so they got a good compensation for a player they don't really need.
