Thad Young wants out

[duncan2150]

It starts with his wife. Dude is being pressured by her. You can see how vocal she is on twitter.

he did not need his wife to be pissed about his playing time. The guy is playing behind eubanks for god sake !

You usually have good takes Dejounte, but this is not among them.

Who gives a what his wife thinks or what she spouts on Twitter?

You know who especially DOESN'T care....the Spurs coaching staff. This is actually the kind of thing that will get you buried DEEPER on the bench.

I actually had hopes that Thad could become a decent player for us or, at the very least, a worthwhile asset....but dude needs to learn to keep his mouth shut at this point, especially when he is playing like ass every time he touches the floor.

[PhantomDashCam]

Spurs have a tendency at times to overvalue and underplay their assets. Thad is the strange player who actually seems to fit into both categories.
In another case of bizarro world Spurs culture, doesn't it seem like the veterans are the ones who have done most of the complaining lately?

All I was suggesting was that Thad has someone in his ear influencing him to say or do stupid things. Wasn’t it a commonly held belief that Nephew had his uncle in his ear which was the primary reason he was an asshole towards the end? I’m not taking away any accountability from Thad— it’s his choice in the end to run his mouth. I’m merely saying that sometimes there’s a bad guy behind the bad guy.

[Dverde]

The PATFO thing to do now is to play Thad in garbage time and he gets hurt. He should be at home in bubble wrap right now.

Fair enough. We are all influenced by people in our lives, whether it is a wife, father, mother, uncle, etc.

Like you said...it all comes back on Thad, and Thad is not really acting like a professional when he keeps chirping to the media or on Twitter.

You sound like the chick from Gossip Girl. Xoxo

Yap even Bogut also tell Landale regarding his lack of playing time, "I can question it but you can't". Don't understand why Youing starts complaining as he starts getting regular playing time (he was in front of Eubanks when Poeltl first came back), probably he and his wife wants out of the city and use PT as an excuse.

Dude cries in another interview, Jock gets the minutes.

[The Truth #6]

I'm not hyperfocusing on this issue. I heard about a podcast that he commented he would like to be traded, vaguely. I mean, the Spurs aren't exactly prioritizing him. Trading him is super obvious. But it sounds like he's upped the complaining? Anyone have any actual details?

[slick'81]

Hes digging his own grave and wont see the floor anymore unless pop has no choice. Hey, if it finally gets jock minutes then ing great!

He’s not really complaining just whining about The Bulls giving him assurances then not giving him a heads up on the trade. He always says Spurs roster are great teammates. Talks about how frustrating it is to play limited (probably when you know your better than the players getting minutes) and trying to stay motivated to keep working out hard. Says Spurs kinda told him their plan was to play youth and he’s too old for a rebuild. He declined to say whether he would demand a buy out if not traded. Cross that bridge when it comes….

[poopbox]

Thad Young been in the league forever and I aint never heard a gripe out of him or about him...

He come to SA and now he trying to Uncle Dennis his way out of here by the all star break

The best way to get a good buyout is to be chill about it. If you DEMAND one, your bargaining position is weak for how much money you have to surrender to be waived before the playoff roster deadline.

Landale is here to stay. Spurs type of game favors a stretch big to open the lanes for our slashers, especially for Keldon and Lonnie. And Landale’s effective plays last night should warrant him meaningful minutes. Thad’s one foot out the door.

Make sure to tell Pop about his obvious ignorance because history says he gets very few minutes over the next 54 games then bolts elsewhere in the off-season.

I know Suns have been linked to Thad, but the other place that I think could use him to beef up their bench is Memphis. Basically to replace SlowMo. Not to mention they ahve like 3 FRPs in each of the next two seasons.

Something like:

MEM: Thad + Bryn
SAS: SlowMo contract + Culivers contract + Aldma + worst of 2022 FRPs

i haven't been paying too much attention to fathead 1.0. is KA back to being the KA we all pulled our hair out over?

[exstatic]

They have KA, jaren J, and Clarke. They’re not giving us a FRP for Young.

[ginobilized]

I can still imagine a GS scenario for Thad. He'd be a great backup for Draymond for spot mins in the playoffs.
Wiseman might even be on the table, just an option that I see. No facts to back this up.

I read they were like 9-11 with Ja and are like 9-2 or something without him though they won last night in his return. KA couldn't have been playing all that bad to have that kind of record without their best player.

He'd just be salary ballast honestly, and could be a buy out guy. He's on a 9-10M expiring IIRC.
And, Culliver (what a bust!), has a $4-5M team option next year.

So basically, a 2022 FRP and MEM's 2021 FRP (Aldama).

[CGD]

They have KA, jaren J, and Clarke. They’re not giving us a FRP for Young.

I think they'd be OK giving up the 27-30th pick for depth. JJJ is a starter. Their depth at the 4&5 behind JJJ and Adams, are Kyle at PF and Clarke at C. They still have 2 other FRPs this year.

After the Scola debacle, no way the Spurs trade within their division with Memphis. We’ll be lucky if they would trade within the Western conference.

This is just silly and I really hope PATFO isn’t this stubborn/ignorant/STUPID after the last 5 years of total mismanagement. We aren’t even a playoff-team. All that pride needs to take a seat to actually winning again. Besides we have been buying out players to join compe ors at an alarming rate.
