AUGUST 30: The Sixers have made it official, announcing in a press release that they’ve signed McAdoo to the first two-way contract in franchise history.
AUGUST 26: The Sixers have agreed to a two-way deal with two-time NBA champion James McAdoo, as first reported by Michael Scotto of Basketball Insiders (Twitter Link). Tandem, McAdoo’s agency confirmed the signing.
McAdoo, 25, appeared in a career-high 52 games (two starts) with the Warriors last season but posted just 2.8 PPG and 1.8 RPG in just below nine minutes per game. The former North Carolina product went undrafted in the 2014 NBA Draft but latched on with Golden State in the summer league that season. Since then, McAdoo has bounced around between the NBA and the G-League and been a piece of the bench for a powerhouse Warriors team.
The two-way deal will enable Philadelphia to rotate McAdoo around the NBA and G-League but uncertain health surrounding Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons may allow him to secure playing time.
The 76ers now have 2 championships on their roster. Probably more than half the East. Maybe more
Off the top of my head…
LBJ – 3 rings
Wade – 3 rings
And many other players with 1 ring
Mark…an incomplete article. What did GSW get for their player. Don’t keep us guessing!
Did you think was a trade?
The second round pick the Warriors bought from the Bulls….. the kid from Oregon will probably take Macado’s place on the roster…… who by the way is probably a better player and will get more minutes than McAdoo ever did.
Free agent……Dubs did not resign him
Kinda surprised. Don’t really care
Not bad to take a flyer on a guy.
What would happen if Macadoo were moved to C where he did not have the option of avoiding contact. Super shotblocker
