The Philadelphia 76ers are trading guard Jared McCain to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for a 2026 first-round pick and three second-round picks, according to reports from ESPN. The 2026 first-round selection involved in the deal originally belonged to the Houston Rockets.
McCain, who was selected by the 76ers in the first round of the 2024 NBA Draft out of Duke, now joins a young Oklahoma City roster. The Thunder are sending significant draft capital back to Philadelphia to acquire the rookie guard, continuing their trend of aggressive talent acquisition. For the 76ers, the move provides a valuable first-round asset and multiple second-round selections to bolster their future trade flexibility.
The specific years and conditions of the three second-round picks have not yet been fully detailed. Per the report, the deal is finalized as both teams look to adjust their rosters ahead of the upcoming stages of the season. McCain had been a notable part of Philadelphia's rookie class, but will now look to find a rotation spot in a crowded Thunder backcourt.
