With the Philadelphia 76ers steamrolling toward opening night at the Boston Celtics on Oct. 18, they are tweaking their roster to put their young players in a position to succeed in the future.
The Sixers announced on Tuesday that they have signed and then waived Patrick McCaw, Mac McClung and Justin Smith in order to send them to the team’s G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats. They will be with the team in time for G League training camp.
McCaw was signed on Tuesday morning before being waived. McClung was brought in on Saturday. Smith was with the Sixers in the Las Vegas Summer League, during which he averaged 5 points per game.

McCaw is a three-time NBA champion, who is looking to earn a spot in the NBA again sooner rather than later. McClung and Smith are looking to eventually earn a spot on an NBA roster.
