The NBA player market has officially opened this season, and now it is possible to hear a lot of news about the progress of the team's trade almost every day. As of now, Sabonis Jr., Kemba Walker, Buddy Hield, a total of 3 players can be basically certain, they will part ways with their old clubs. In addition, the relationship between Horton Tucker and the Lakers at this stage is also very delicate, under the premise that the Westbrook contract cannot operate, the Lakers management that is eager to strengthen the lineup can only start from Tucker, and after the ban is lifted in mid-January next year, the Lakers will most likely produce a deal with Tucker as the main body. Unlike Tucker's current situation, although the Spurs originally had no intention of trading Thaddeus Young, in order to be able to chase the championship, the 33-year-old forward would rather reach a buyout agreement than leave the immediate environment.
According to NBA reporter Chris Haynes, after being snubbed for more than 20 games, Thaddeus Young finally chose a showdown with the Spurs, indicating his desire to join the championship team. Chris Haynes was told that Thaddeus Young is willing to give the Spurs some time so that the team management can send themselves away through the transaction, but it should be emphasized that Thaddeus Young himself is very willing to leave the team, if the Spurs do not find a suitable buyer before the trade deadline this season, then he will seek a buyout to leave the team, at the cost of giving up tens of millions of dollars in salary, to help him regain his free agent status, according to NBA regulations, when the buyout players have passed the clarification period, They can choose their next home.
It is understood that as early as the beginning of this month, Thaddeus Young has expressed a similar meaning, saying that he is now very depressed, the NBA career has never encountered a game only 5-6 minutes, Thaddeus Young is not satisfied with the Spurs coaching staff to arrange his role. According to the data, so far in the 2021-22 season, Thaddeus Young has averaged 14.1 minutes per game, can get 6.2 points + 3.4 rebounds + 2.5 assists, a number of statistics to the lowest career; in the 2020-21 season, during the Bulls, Thaddeus Young averaged 24.3 minutes per game, and could get 12.1 points + 6.2 rebounds + 4.3 assists.
In less than half a year, Thaddeus Young has gradually degenerated from an organizational forward to an NBA fringe player, which inevitably makes the outside world feel sorry for him. It is worth mentioning that although the Irving incident has had a huge impact on the competitiveness of the Nets championship, considering that Durant is currently at its peak, there are still many veterans in the NBA league who are willing to cut salaries, and Thaddeus Young is one of them. Sources come from NBA journalist Alex Schiffer, and in addition to training preparations, Durant has recently freed up some of his energy to focus on player recruitment.
It is reported that Durant and Thaddeus Young have had in-depth exchanges on cooperation matters, the latter is very satisfied with his possible future role in the Nets, here has to exaggerate a wave of "Du manager" work ability, if Thaddeus Young can finally join the Nets with a basic salary, then he will become the fifth player after Aldridge, Griffin, Mills, Durant recruited to the Nets. In fact, it is not difficult to find that most of these veterans still value Durant's ability to lead the team, in the absence of Harden and Irving, the Nets record can still be high in the East, all of which is inseparable from Durant (in the past 4 games, Durant averaged 37.5 points + 9 rebounds + 8.5 assists per game, setting a record for the Nets).
