The Philadelphia 76ers drew major flak when they made the bold decision to trade Jared McCain before the deadline. The fact that they shipped him to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the defending champs, did not do them any favors, either. After all, many felt that the team gave up on him way too early despite some out-of-control reasons behind his decline in Year 2.
Having said that, with each passing game, the 76ers actually keep getting vindicated for taking such a drastic measure. No, it is not because the sophomore has been subpar for his new team, but his current role only reinforces the unpopular notion that the front office sold at the most opportune time.
