Just curious with you bringing up Thaddeus Young.. what did you think about my Kuz/Cook/KCP for Young and Valentine proposal? |

Interesting thing about Thad Young's contract: the final year is not gauranteed, which makes him a good trade chip or someone we can simply release to clear 14 mil in cap space.
I would 1000% trade Kuz for him. Another defender to throw at Kawhi/PG or Luka. |

To be honest I had no idea that he was a excellent defensive player, ( props to PHIL for bringing it up)that makes the possibility even more enticing, also Chicago is close to Detroit so Kuzma can really feel comfortable playing close to his home town. |

He is one the key players for Sacramento. What is the trade package that will get Vlade to say yes? |
Yeah, and I could be wrong about that. But on a declining deal that gives cost certainty, Hield could net a nice return while balancing out the salary obligations. They’re going to have to pay up for Bogdan, Fox and Bagley in successive summers. Going forward I expect the focus to be Fox/Bagley. Hield (who is older than AD iirc), could be the piece that gets moved. |

thad young plays the same position as AD & Lebron. he is not a fit.
we need defender for Kawhi/PG and there is no way Thad young can do it. |

He has career low shooting percentages by fair margins, he looks slow, and in his 41 minute effort against the Rockets he was limping at the end of the game … then had to take multiple games off to recuperate.
Could get better but the Spurs look bang on the money when they said Kawhi has a degenerative condition |

| If the Suns lose this game (18 behind in the 4th), 8th place in the Western Conference will be two games under .500 |

You should take same advice and think a little with common sense
Can a guy like Thad young stand any chance on defense against Kawhi/pg
U will get unbiased answer

You either must be thinking of somebody else or you've never seen him play and are pretending to. He's been one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA for some time. Maybe not at the peak he was a year or two ago but still very good.
Unbiased answer?
