And yet alot of NBA players still do, including Thaddeus Young.
I'm forced to agree .I hate that option, but its nothing that the spurs haven't done before with other players basically getting nothing in return other than saving a little bit on salary. Can't we get a least a few basketballs and a case of Doritos ?Ho Hum.... as much as us Spurs fans would like a trade, to, let's say, the Suns, as it has been widely reported, so that we can get something back for him, I can see that at the end of the day, when the opportunity to trade comes & goes, Thad will be brought out to be free to choose as to what team he would like to go to, instead.

Agee as well. I'm hoping to see an actual update or actual news and it's just the same pointless, mindless, repe ive chatter back n forthEvery time I see there is a new comment in this thread I am thinking Thad has done another interview asking out
Atlanta really need an experienced back up big because Dieng has been awful. They can work out a deal that includes the fake OKC first the owe and it'd help both teams.
pointless, mindless, repe ive chatter back n forth is what we do. New here?
Of course he’s not getting close to his current deal. But had he been still in CHI coming off another decent season, I think he commands MLE $$ for about 2-3 years. He has a case that his like value has likely dropped off from that level because of the trade/inaction.
For what it's worth (very, very, very little) Hoopshype has him as the most discussed tradable player today. I actually do think he'll be traded. Right now there is just no reason for the Spurs to take less than what they want since we are not even close to the trade deadline. Lots of BB to be played (not much of it by Thad). Injuries, COVID, other trades can all serve to raise his value in another team's eye. Same goes with Bryn, IMO. The number of trades until right before the deadline is always minimal.
Part of the problem is the exact same as last year with LMA. We need help at the very position Thad plays, but you can't trade for him for that help. Otherwise, if you trade him for a pick, you have to take back salary in return and I don't think the Spurs have any desire to each a long contract as they can still open up cap space soon. I think if there's a way to get involved as a third team in a deal or something for a an actual star comes open and they need salary he will be moved.
Otherwise, dude is getting bought out or staying with us all year at the end of the bench.
Yeah, the Phoenix speculation is what you hear about frequently but I personally don't want Saric's salary on the books next year. Would he fetch anything next year anymore than Thad does this year?
Dude, we’re rebuilding. This is not the lat few years. Everything is a position of need.
Take the draft capital where you can, while minimizing chance that any added long term money that impacts other goals in free agency.
Not ideal, but that’s probably the carrot for PHX to add the pick tbh.
It’s not the end of the world in my view. I’m of the mind that it’s good to carry a manageable expiring contract (I think Saric is around $11M) that could be moved in case a trade comes together. If you look around the league there are fewer and fewer of those type of deals out there now.
Compared with, as others have noted, LMA and DDR deals where the sheer salary size limited options.
Except every position is not one of need. We don't need a starting center, PG, or any guard for that matter. We need big depth. Thats the exact same thing Thad young is so if we trade him why would anotehr team send us a comparable forward back? Makes no damn sense.
Wizards seem to have no place for Deni with Bertans, Rui, and Kuzma there. How about Caldwell Pope and Deni Avdija for Thad and Forbes. Wizards trying to win now with Beal on the roster.
I really don't see the Wizards giving up on Deni this soon, especially for some non-needle-moving trade like Young-Forbes. Doesn't get them anywhere meaningful that justifies losing a lottery prospect. Besides, they'd much sooner let go of Kuzma, and certainly of Bertans, in any win-now trades (Kuzma's playing well for them, but still).
Yeah if Young could go back to shooting 5 3s a game, he'd be a great fit. This team really needs another 4 and combo forward.
I could see them moving Deni and I could see him playing the 4....but, I can't see them moving him for a package of just expiring contracts... if they were motivated to get off a contract they don't want or if we were sending back a player on a contract they want or maybe a pick then I could see it..
These three are the reason they DON’T need another PF. Makes no sense at all, but I guess it worked in the trade machine…or something.
They would probably have to give up picks to unload Bertans bad contract. Caldwell Pope has another year of 14M that the Spurs would have to eat that would save Wiz money. Spurs have picks they could include. Thad could help mentor Rui Hachimura and give vet experience for their playoff run. I just remember Spurs being high on Deni, he’s never impressed me.
MBW but too many teams potentially interested in Young for no trade to happen, specially with Covid and contenders willing to secure a good core of valuable players. You don't wanna start 2 D-Leaguers and a journeyman for a PO Game 7... They'll try to low ball the Spurs as always but I think there will be a team desperate enough to pull the trigger... Now I'm not sure what they can get in return.
Miami are struggling with the lack of centers on the roster after injuries to Adebayo and Dedmon, but unfortunately they simply don't have the contracts to make a deal for Thad work. They could have Eubanks
Any takers yet? I just don’t want the Spurs buying out his contract.
That’s probably what will happen. It would be nice to get something, even a SRP, but he’s kind of destroyed his value with all of his whining. At this point, I just want him gone.
During the buyout period, all the teams that want to sign buyouts usually have to cut someone, and maybe we pick up someone then the way we got Cacok at then end of the summer. We also got KBD at the end of camp the year before. I’d rather get a young long shot than a bad contract and a meh pick.
I'm really surprised by his whinning at ude, when he was in Chicago he was known for being the perfect teammate, always agreeing to the coach's decision. He knew that his trade to the Spurs meant that he wouldn't be the first, and even the second, option.
It's the first time in his long carreer that he is not playing so his reactions are legit and not surprising.
He is not playing a single minute, i don't see a player with his level who could b esatisfied by this.
You can stop with the drama. He’s played in 22 games, over 300 minutes, and you’d think he’d figure out that his minutes stopped cold when he started whining, and he’d stop going on podcasts to about his minutes. He was actually first big off the bench before he started his fest.
Thad, just STFU. If you can’t make $14M to play somewhere not of your choosing for 50 games or so without publicly and vocally complaining, you’re not even a professional, or much of a man, quite frankly.
