OKC's Jared McCain gives love to former Sixers president Daryl Morey
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Jared McCain gives love to former Philadelphia 76ers president Daryl Morey after his big game.
The final season of Daryl Morey's time with the Philadelphia 76ers included a confusing deadline trade when he sent second-year guard Jared McCain to the Oklahoma City Thunder for a slew of draft picks. One of those picks is No. 22 in the June 23 draft, via the Houston Rockets , so they got a first-round pick out of the deal, but when considering what McCain is doing for OKC, it's still a confusing deal at the moment, at least.
After McCain scored 24 points and was a plus-28 off the bench in a 123-108 Game 3 win over the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference finals, he was asked about whether this was a "prove Morey wrong" type of performance. However, he gave a professional answer as he is focused on what he's doing right. McCain told reporters: It’s never to prove anybody wrong.
A lot of my stuff is I try to keep a positive outlook. I like proving my support system right. The people who really believed in me.
I like proving them right. So, no matter what it is. I got traded.
