Twitter folks (speculating of course) that Thad Young wants out in Philly and he and Timmy have the same agent.
We've been predicting the Spurs' last hurrah for years, but this time it might really be the end of the road. The Spurs have been unusually aggressive trying to upgrade their roster in the trade market, a signal to rival execs that Gregg Popovich and R.C. Buford realize this might be the final shot at a le with the triumvirate of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. Duncan, 37, has a $10.4 million player option for next season, and Parker's future also has to be addressed; only $3.5 million of his $12.5 million for next season is guaranteed.

Doesn't Thaddeus Young want to go to a contender, too?
I'm not going to get any hopes up. Seems these stories never pan out, so yeah. We'll see how things go.
edit: I will say this...Parker/Green/Leonard/Young/Duncan lineup would be fantastic. Have Splitter come off the bench as full-time backup C. I don't know who we'd give up for Thaddeus though.
Don't really see a scenario where the money would work for Young.
Lol at Pop and RC trolling Spursfan.
Someone put this up on twitter

I like this, but undoubtedly we'd have to give up some picks as well
Following an Instagram poster that posts lots of Spurs news and whatnot and he uploaded a word picture stating:
Rumors are flying around that Diaw, Bonner or de Colo and a future pick is being discussed for Thad Young from Philly. More details when they arrive.
No way, man, I don't wanna give up Diaw. that.
Any trade involving Matt Bonner and two of De Colo,Ayers,Joseph or Baynes works with a possible first round pick. If Young is one of the talents the Spurs are looking at, I haven't seen enough of him to see if he will fit in or not. His size looks like a perfect small ball four from it looks like.
Thaddeus our savior! Monkeyball time
If it's Bonner Or DeColo then good bye DeColo.
With all the teams that are looking for point guards though...
Patty
CoJo
DeColo
we can lose one.
They Spurs aren't trading Diaw. They only scenario I could see working would be to trade Green and add a pick. Even then, they would have to move Leonard to the 2 and start Young at the 3...because Young is too good to bring off the bench.
That would be a bad deal for the Spurs. Diaw is better for the team than Young would be. However, replacing him with Baynes still would make the numbers work. A pick or two and/or some players' rights can make a deal happen.
Not a big fan of Thad on this team, though. Just saying it's possible.
Btw we're fine w/o Thaddeus. We need a backup for Kawhi but should only trade guys like Ayers, Bonner, Joseph, De Colo and picks to get him. After all, he will be a backup.
Diaw is our best LeBron defender.
Update from the page:
Sources also indicate San Antonio have contacted Indiana about the possibility of pursuing Danny Granger"sources" - but SA have indicated interest in Granger before
Diaw +pick? I am not buying this
Granger would be a great fit. #pipedream
Corner 3, long wing defender, small ball 4...
Granger...they would have to gut the roster to make the money work. Who are the dumbasses writing all of this stuff?
I really don't see Diaw being traded. But the Spurs have other pieces if it's only a salary issue.
Assuming it's for the same players as Thad, it could essentially work.. but it would be a ing re ed trade.
Funny how both teams mentioned here (Sixers and Pacers) are teams with some kind of connection to the Spurs. Anyway, do it Mitch.
I would be all in for Granger. How many cats would we have to give up? Because if I have to give up my cats to get him then I would prefer to never win another championship again.
