Jordan McRae could join the 76ers

This article claims Jordan McRae could go to the NBA soon.

"There's a possibility that 2014 second-rounder Jordan McRae could join the Sixers prior to the end of the season, Tom Moore of Calkins Media writes. McRae, whose rights the Sixers acquired from the Spurs on draft night, has been averaging 20.9 points in 18 games for Melbourne United of the Australian league this season. Philadelphia coach Brett Brown has kept a watchful eye on McRae’s progress overseas, Moore notes. "We are always paying attention to Jordan," Brown said. “He’s in a good situation. He’s playing a lot of minutes and continuing to score. Jordan is always in the back of our minds.”

With the Sixers having an open roster spot thanks to Andrei Kirilenko being placed on the suspended list, Brown was asked about the possibility of McRae filling that slot, Moore adds. “It’s a fair question,” Brown said. “How we decide to handle Jordan will be determined — just not now. We have talked a lot about it.”

How many players have the 6ers activated this season? Must be a record.

Even more reason for the 36ers to go after a stud and try overtake 4th. United without McRae isn't much of anything!

Won't happen, philly don't want to be better they want to be worse. He will most likely join once NBL season ends. He will not just leave when playoffs are near by. Brett Brown wouldn't do that.

"Brett Brown wouldn't do that."

Correct, Brett Brown definitely won't do that since DMac is coach.

Yeah because friendship gets in the way of the business that is the NBA, and Mcrae automatically makes Philly better.... face palm. If the 76ers want this to happen, it happens when they want. Don't be naive.

It depends on the deal. Last year Perth had a cut-off time for Miami to take Ennis back, it's quite possible Melbourne have something similar.

They are probably talking about signing him after the NBL season is finished.
It would give them 5-6 weeks, around 15-20 games to evaluate him.
