The Philadelphia 76ers will doubtless make a number of trades earlier than the commerce deadline. If there’s one factor President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey is thought for, it is pulling off a shock right here and there.
He did so instantly when the Sixers first employed him in 2020. He cleaned up the Sixers’ earlier mess when he traded Al Horford And Josh Richardson. He then landed a fairly large fish when he traded for James Harden. So, who’s to say he would not have one thing up his sleeve?
Some urged the Sixers to do one thing determined like eliminate Paul Georgehowever he is beginning to look extra like his previous self and the Sixers are beginning to look higher.
That does not imply they will not make any trades. Fan facet prompt a participant who nobody would think about a possible commerce candidate: Jared McCain.
To be truthful, they known as him an “instinctive” commerce candidate, but when the Sixers wished somebody actually good, McCain could be a really engaging asset after his efficiency up to now.
It is a enjoyable concept however not sensible.
Why would not the Sixers do that?
McCain is arguably the very best story for the Sixers this season. The Sixers have not had such an thrilling rookie shortly, and what makes it even funnier is that nobody noticed this coming from him.
What McCain has performed up to now has not been seen by future Corridor-of-Famers throughout their rookie seasons. Getting this sort of manufacturing on a rookie contract makes him a diamond within the tough.
It is also unclear if there’s a star the Sixers might purchase that can make them extra of a contender than McCain.
If Philadelphia have been to contemplate buying and selling McCain, it might be for a franchise participant. Since McCain is reasonable, this may be tough to realize from a monetary standpoint alone.
