CHICAGO - T.J. McConnell came into the NBA as an undrafted rookie, battling for a final roster spot.
A season a half later, the point guard is one reason for the 76ers' turnaround. And opposing teams are taking notice.
The Cleveland Cavaliers approached the Sixers about acquiring McConnell in a trade, according to several sources. The Sixers declined the offer.
The Cavs wanted to put together a deal that would have brought Jordan McRae back to Philly. The Sixers acquired McRae in the second round of the 2014 draft. The Sixers sent him Australia to play for Melbourne United during the 2014-15 season.
