Yo<\/a>u might think that after getting traded in a somewhat humiliating fashion, that former Duke star Jared McCain might enjoy his success, and that he might want to rub Philadelphia<\/a>\u2019s nose in it a bit.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not his style, though. Check out what he says here about Philadelphia and the trade<\/a>. Previously, he has said that it stung a bit, but here, he clarifies how he feels about Philly, and it\u2019s quite positive. He\u2019s not going to waste a lot of time and energy on resentment. This is remarkably mature for a guy who is just 22.<\/p>\n

Sean Kennedy, who wrote this article about the trade<\/a>, is not as sanguine.<\/p>\n

As a 76ers<\/a> fan, he says that it\u2019s going to haunt him. He hates that McCain was traded to Oklahoma City<\/a>, where he\u2019s constantly on the radar. Kennedy hates that he has to hear about how his teammates heap praise on him. He says \u201c\u2026[i]t\u2019s torturous. It\u2019s like if I had a huge scab, but right before it could finish completely healing the wound, somebody rips it off again and pours rubbing alcohol over the entire area. And this happens every couple of days.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s brutal, but it\u2019s honest. McCain has emerged as a critical factor for OKC, and Philly fans will probably have to watch him excel for a decade or more. That\u2019s not going to be fun.<\/p>\n
