The Sixers, the source said, offered the Chicago Bulls multiple second-round picks for reserve big man Jalen Smith; Chicago held onto him. Their primary target, PhillyVoice learned, was Aaron Wiggins, one of Oklahoma City's many trusted reserves. There was hope that the talks with the Thunder about McCain could lead to a deal also involving Wiggins – the Sixers would have needed to send out multiple other players in the process – but ultimately the deal ended up centering around McCain, with Wiggins staying put in Oklahoma City, where he has recently fallen out of the rotation thanks in part to McCain's arrival.
