Regardless of Daryl Morey’s comments, the Sixers used the NBA trade deadline to duck luxury tax Sixers fans are up in arms over the Jared McCain move, but Morey believes this puts the franchise in a better position. Really, it's to get under the luxury tax threshold for another season.

Daryl Morey likes the Sixers’ chances in the East, but he understands skepticism around the Jared McCain trade Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey didn’t make any deals that netted a player. Instead, they traded Jared McCain and Eric Gordon in exchange for draft picks.

The Sixers have entered the NBA trade deadline madness. What will they do next? The Sixers parted ways with Jared McCain in a surprise deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Multiple sources insist the team is still willing to trade reserve center Andre Drummond.
