When your contract is all that teams are willing to pay your sorry a** it's not a discount

Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Nick Young intends to opt out of his minimum-salary contract for next season and become a free agent, but his first choice is to return on a multi-year deal, via the Los Angeles Daily News' Mark Medina:
“Just more years. I believe I deserve more,” Young said Wednesday in an interview with this newspaper. “That's up to my agent to do that for me. The Lakers are home, but things could happen. With free agency this year, it's going to be crazy to see.”
…
Young did not outline what dollar figure he wanted, though he joked he told Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak that he needs “two years at $50 million to come back.” The Lakers signed Bryant for the next two years worth $48.5 million. Young sounded serious about considering a hometown discount.
“It depends how much the discount is,” Young said. “But as a player, everyone wants a place they feel comfortable at. I feel comfortable in L.A. But I can't keep taking these discounts. I need a raise a little bit. But if it's for the right cost and they're bringing in players and I fit into the rotation, then I'll probably take a pay cut.”
Young added that he would be fine with playing the sixth-man role with Kobe Bryant returning to the court, but he wants to see who the Lakers hire as head coach. Under Mike D'Antoni, Young averaged a team-high 17.9 points per game last season, shooting 43.5 percent from the field and 38.6 percent from the three-point line.
Before signing with Los Angeles last summer, Young went to the Philadelphia 76ers on a one-year deal in 2012, so it's understandable that he'd want a longer contract this time around.
He also told Medina he's on his way to London to model in a fashion show this weekend.

Is Nick young the worst 18 PPG player in recent memory? I can't think of a worse one. 18 PPG completely belies the fact that he's nothing more than a slightly above average basketball player.
Need to Spree that the out the league.
His career is going to be over pretty quickly at this rate. He's just another example of a endless cycle of dumb asses that take their situation and gifts for granted.
Is this a joke?
Mike James 20.3 PPG on the Raptors back in 2007.
If someone who only played 6 games averaging 13.8 points per game the prior season deserves a 2yr 49m contract, Swaggy P has every right to demand a 2yr 50m one, imho.
I don't want him back for a dollar. Just let him walk away. And the nightmare will be over. Just walk away into the wasteland and I will spare your lives.
Bend over. I'll show ya a in' joke.
He had a better season and has a better future than Capt 48.5; not seeing the problem here tbh.
He's actually a pretty solid player on a well balanced / vet team..he was asked to do the impossible last season and it wasn't fair to him....When he's off he's off but when he's on my goodness it's a thing of beauty...all he needs is to play with Kobe as in Kobe actually playing and you'll see how good Swaggy really is....
I'll just bet you don't.
lol i used this line the other day when some talked about my "misplaced superiority"..
Bend over. I'll show ya some in' misplaced superiority..
It's a great line and a fine ice breaker.
why is he not a good player. he's a better scorer than 60 percent of the players in the league.
He's the Team Leader and the future of the Lakers. Pay up, Fredo.
25 for Swigger Pee, 25 for crip... looks golden to me.
Kobe's a real ..
Young Money
det Mike James put up 20ppg in 2006 iirc
LOL I remember that year man, some dude traded him to me in fantasy bball and he went off later in the year and helped me win a le.
