February 4Feb 4 The basketball gods owe us an Eric Gordon resurgence, just for this year. Is that too much to ask?
February 4Feb 4 and I wasn’t some huge McCain guy when they drafted him. But this feels like a bad owner that only cares about his bottom dollar. Making trades to avoid a tax because he’s an a-hole.

If he continued the upward trajectory, we could have used him for the year and then traded him at draft time, for a higher first. This is just dumb all around.

This was avoid luxury tax, hope to extend grimes in FA and make Barlow go from 2 way to nba deal
February 4Feb 4 Someone on reddit made a good point....Now Maxey is gonna be totally burned out come playoff time. Pray for EG resurgence!

Truly think they wanted below the tax and are happy to get those picks back. It should be a red flag if Okc is wanting him a you are questioning trading him. It’s why they are a good organization and the sixers have had a ton of dysfunction and nonsense under Harris
February 4Feb 4 Just last year McCain was a blossoming superstar, then he gets hurt, now he's just a trade piece for them. Ridiculous to give up on a young player like that.

I bet his athleticism comes back next year and he looks more like his rookie season. Just our luck or should I say incompetence.Maybe we can get Brandon Ingram with Grimes and the 1st round pick or something...
February 4Feb 4 Windy on NBA live just said "people in the league believe this is an absolute steal for OKC" in regards to the McCain trade.
February 4Feb 4 I guess I will be score watching the f'n Rockets now. They have a tough stretch coming up in their next 7-8 games. Their opponents will be my second favorite teams all year.

Making trades to avoid a tax because he’s an a-hole.That's exactly what he is. He's a terrible owner who gives me flashbacks of Norman Braman.

February 4Feb 4 Tari Eason’s 3 point shooting took a major step up this year. I know those numbers are not sustainable but if he is a good 3 point shooter now, put him on our radar. His timeline matches perfectly too.

February 4Feb 4 I mentioned this a few days ago. Can we pivot to Jose Alvarado? Maxey will be completely toast by the playoffs if we don’t have a decent back up.
