The mere fact that McCain is considered as a hope for the future is bleak.
I think we have higher standards for that. He’d only be a 6th man at best for the Thunders or the Rockets.
As much as I think the kid will be a good player, this is so true.
I'm also not explicitly saying McCain is the only thing to be excited about our future. Maxey is a bonafide star (even if he didn't play like one tonight) at 24 years old. There is a path to winning it all in the next 5 years built around Maxey, McCain, or whatever player we can draw in from trading one of the two (not advocating for that).
I also don't think PG and Embiid are impossible to move and we might see it sooner rather than later if the bottom falls out on this team after All Star break.
