    BMac unlikely to be THIS efficient again unless he joins the Nets.

    It was fun having him on the roster. He might've been the best pure shooter we had during the Harden era.

    That’s kinda how pure shooters are. Or anyone with a single skill set. It’s a valuable skill but only if you have a star to utilize them. He has a place on a good team. Not much for him to do here

    He's sucking on purpose. Everyone is jumping off the titanic.

    My guess the 76ers. They can use three point shooting . The Nets don’t need him with Harris and Shamet.

    If there was no trade market for him (and I'm not surprised there wasn't based on his play this season) then there is really no reason not to waive him and sign some kid from the G League they think might have potential. None at all.

    Joerger is on that Sixers coaching staff. Same Joerger who had no clue how to maximize McLemore.

    Although Seth and Isaiah Joe are fitting in well so maybe time has been good for all parties.

    While Nets may not need BMac he is very familiar, confident and success with the coaching style, system and players (Harden, Green).

    BMac actually improved to top 5 scorer on team once Dipo was traded.

    I really hope cutting McLemore was done as favor to Ben than because Silas is analytics stupid.

    Why didn't we get Cash Considerations for him at the deadline?
