Why did the Golden State Warriors let mix tape star Mac McClung go? It had nothing to do with his play during Summer League or in Japan and everything to do with a recent eight-player trade between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Houston Rockets. In the deal, the Thunder dealt 25-year-old guard Ty Jerome to Houston, who immediately waived him.
While there’s no place for him on the roster of one the league’s worst teams, the defending champions were very interested, and once he clears waivers, the Warriors are planning to add Jerome to their training camp roster.
