Jordan McRae was a late second-round pick of the 76ers back in 2014, but spent last season playing overseas.
The team extended him the required one-year, non-guaranteed, minimum salary deal in order to retain his rights for an additional season, but it appears as though McRae is aware that his chances of making the roster, even at some point later in the season, are extremely slim.

Although things could change in the next couple of weeks, a source with knowledge of the situation informed me that the Sixers do not expect Jordan McRae to be with the team for upcoming training camp.
With a crowded competition for the Sixers' perimeter positions already, and the potential to make more (guaranteed) money elsewhere, it seems likely that McRae will again sign overseas. This is likely what the Sixers want, and why they offered the contract that they did. This way, McRae can continue to develop overseas on someone else's dime without taking up a roster spot on the Sixers.
