"In somewhat of a surprising move, the 76ers traded Jared McCain to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for a first-round pick and three second-round picks. It's a move that may not make much sense now, especially with McCain in just his second season, but it's also a trade that could pay dividends for the team in the future."
"The Heat's front office has one big blind spot. Because of that, Miami is left scrambling to find additional draft capital to use in an offer for Giannis Antetokounmpo. There may not be much that can be nitpicked about how the Heat runs as a business, but the asset management part of their philosophy has come into question of late."
The Philadelphia 76ers traded Jared McCain to the Oklahoma City Thunder for a first-round pick and three second-round picks, converting a misfit roster piece into draft capital. McCain's limited fit with the team's future and the emergence of V.J. Edgecombe made the move logical, and Philadelphia acted sooner than many teams might have. The Miami Heat have struggled to sell players at the right time, producing an asset-management blind spot that leaves them scrambling for draft picks. That lack of early selling complicates Miami's ability to assemble offers for a player like Giannis Antetokounmpo and reveals trade-deadline vulnerabilities.
