Officially signed with the Suns! Durant won the championship again! He once blasted 30 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists and 7 steals in a single game
On February 14, Beijing time, according to ESPN, league sources revealed that full free agent and forward Thaddeus Young will sign a contract with the Phoenix Suns. As a result, the 35-year-old was able to return to the NBA to continue his career!
At the trade deadline, Thaddeus Young and Black Schroder Jr. were traded to the Brooklyn Nets by former club Toronto Raptors in exchange for guard Dinwiddie. But the new club, the Nets, never thought about giving the 17-year league veteran a chance to play, and then the Nets announced that they would cut Thaddeus Young. At this point, there is one more veteran in the buyout market!
Thaddeus Young, born in June 1988, was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 12th pick in the first round of the 2007 NBA Draft, thus officially entering the NBA to start his career. Thaddeus Young is 2.03 meters tall and weighs 106 kilograms, and is a striker who plays as a striker on the field, and is a striker who is both offensive and defensive. In the blink of an eye, the former lottery pick had been playing in the league for 17 years! Despite his advanced age, he was known for his versatile career and quickly found a job in the league and became a Sunman powerhouse with Durant to win the championship.
Over the past 17 years, Thaddeus Young has played for the Philadelphia 76ers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Brooklyn Nets, Indiana Pacers, Chicago Bulls, San Antonio Spurs, and Toronto Raptors. After deciding to sign with the Suns, Thaddeus Young will also welcome the eighth owner of his career. Next, he will start a new journey in his Suns career, and fully assist the big three of Durant, Booker, and Beal to attack the championship with all their might!
So far this season, Thaddeus Young has played in a total of 23 games for the Raptors, averaging 5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, shooting 62.1% from the field. Despite his advanced age, Thaddeus Young clearly still has gas in his tank, and he can still provide energy for his team on the field and continue to play the residual heat of the veteran. There's no doubt that Thaddeus Young's move to Phoenix will add depth to the forward lineup for the Suns Shock Championship. With the addition of Thaddeus Young, this also allows Durant to once again win a championship on the front line, and KD will get more firepower support and more rest time in the next games, which will be very helpful for them to hit this year's championship!
Don't look at Thaddeus Young's stats nowadays, but at a young age he was a well-known all-rounder on the field. Among them, on February 22, 2014, in the 76ers' game against the Dallas Mavericks, the completely crazy Thaddeus Young blasted 30 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists and 7 steals, filling the gap in the league for more than 30 years. Because he is the second player since Hakeem Olajuwon in 1987 to hit such explosive statistics.
Congratulations to Thaddeus Young for returning to the NBA! At the same time, I would like to congratulate Durant and the Suns for winning another championship helper, and they still succeeded in recruiting the fierce Thaddeus Young for their use without paying any chips, and the Suns will definitely make a lot of money with this signing!
