I know some people are upset and some are happy. I am however thrilled. I love his dance videos. Seems like a genuinely happy and secure man

I think I actually preferred McCain to Knecht. If shooting is the major part of your value, why did you shoot 75%, 77%, and 77% from the FT line? McCain shot just under 89% and is almost 3 full years younger. 3 inches of height is great, but it doesn’t trump those other aspects for me.

From only the ACC and NCAA tournaments and stat reading, is it me or is there a lot of similarities to Maxey and McCain?
McCain: 20 yo freshman at the draft, 14.3 ppg on 46% shooting; 52% 2pt, 41% 3pt, 89% ft, smiles a lot, wore blue in college, 6'3 197lbs
Maxey: 20 yo freshman at the draft, 14 ppg on 43% shooting; 49% 2pt, 29%(!) 3pt, 83% ft, smiles a lot, wore blue in college, 6'2 200lbs
I'm just saying

After sleeping on it... i am whelmed. I don't hate it, i don't love it.
I guess, at best, i could say i'm pleasantly surprised that they didn't trade it for an older player who could contribute now but also doesn't really move the needle. At least there's upside with McCain given his age.
I have no opinions on the TikTok shit until i see him on the court.

You noted the difference, and it’s significant. But not in an especially good way. There were doubts about Maxey’s shooting coming out of college. What he had was speed. He could always blow by defenders. He addressed the shooting question and now he’s an all star. McCain is the opposite case. No doubts about his shooting, but he does not have Maxey’s handle or quickness. You can teach shooting but you can’t teach speed. For McCain think more along the lines of (hopefully) the next Seth (not Steph) Curry. Catch and shoot.

If you go back to the Maxey draft thread, I promise you I was in there saying the idea that Maxey couldn’t shoot was completely wrong. Don’t look at NCAA 3PT%. FT% is much more closely associated with NBA 3PT shooting prowess. The NCAA 3 is a different shot borne out of different situations. FTs are pure technique.
Now Maxey had star outcomes. McCain doesn’t. But I think he’s got a solid chance to be a passable defender for his size.

Given the rumor of the Sac deal, this feels like Kuzma?

Given how the Sixers picked a gem in Maxey and salvaged that Fultz fopaux....gonna give them more than the benefit of the doubt on Lee press on nails McCain.
As far as doing anything this offseason that moves the needle beyond playoff mediocrity....not so generous.

The Hawks are drunk. I’d like to know what Young would cost. There are major problems there, but I still want to know.
*Edit* Apparently there are some non-criminal/non-DV/non-substance off court issues…
They're gonna post these every time he has a bad game lol
Please tell me that you would not even for an instant consider trading for Trae Young. You don't even have to really mean it, just post it for the record.

There’s no realistic situation in which I think it makes sense for the Sixers to take 3/135 of Trae Young. There are teams out there I think should be interested if the price is nothing and/or includes dumping a terrible contract back.

I hate this team
Feel-good article on McCain. I've only read part of it but I feel pretty good.

Please may I have one (1) Isaiah Crawford?
I don’t know what you have and haven’t read, but knowing your preferences, I think you’ll really like the way he rebounds.

Backup defensive big I guess if they keep him. Attempted one 3 in his career.
