Thad Young is one of OG Anunoby’s mentors through Team Thad AAU. Cool they are teammates now. Talked to both about their connection a couple of years ago: saltwire.com/nova-scotia/sp… – 12:03 PM

Spurs traded away Goran Dragic for Tadija Dragicevic in 2007, traded Thaddeus Young to get him back 15 years later, and then immediately bought him out. Mixed messages. – 12:02 PM

The way to see this, pending more return, is Thad is your YUTA/SVI upgrade. Doesn’t mess with the guys that are playing, but can serve to give several guys a bit more time on the bench. – 12:01 PM

Thad Young is a pending FA on a $14m deal. Averaged 12/6/4 on 56% shooting for Bulls last year. Tremendous chemistry guy. Good, smart vet. – 12:00 PM

Thad Young: “I’m still able to play at a super-high level… For me, it’s just a matter of getting minutes. So far this season, I haven’t really played as much as I’ve played in the past. But with the time that I have been given, I’ve been productive.” basketballnews.com/stories/spurs-… – 11:58 AM

Toronto is a great landing spot for Thad, too. Playing very well and could definitely use what he brings to the table. The best news is I can take a break from building this bomb shelter that Twitter would’ve made necessary had the Spurs not moved him. – 11:55 AM

I can confirm Goran Dragic being traded to Spurs for Thad Young (@Shams Charania first). I presume there will be other pieces given salary disparity. – 11:53 AM

Goran Dragic to the Spurs screams buyout
But Thad Young going to Toronto feels like it eliminates that buyout option for Miami – 11:52 AM

Thad Young will bring solid defence across a couple positions, playmaking, and a veteran presence in the locker room. Has a good relationship with OG Anunoby as well. He’ll represent a good return for Dragic imo. – 11:52 AM

Funniest ending: Dragic gets bought out and signs somewhere else. Lakers would be the funniest, just because. – 11:51 AM

I love Masai flipping Dragic for Thad Young; another versatile wing who can help on offense and defend multiple positions. Toronto is going to be a handful in the playoffs. – 11:50 AM

veeeery curious to see what a kristaps-to-toronto deal would look like given how close the raptors are to the tax.
is it dragic-boucher-khem? and is dallas getting a pick? or is this a straight salary slashing in advance of free agency for jalen and dfs? – 11:21 AM

Word first started making the rounds last night, and discussion of a framework where Kristaps Porzingis potentially heads to Toronto has since circulated around NBA front offices. There’s of course mutual interest in bringing Goran Dragic to Dallas. Unclear how serious talks are. – 11:09 AM

Toronto appeared quite active in trade conversations Wednesday night. Various Goran Dragic scenarios. Bigs. Lakers and Raptors have discussed Talen Horton-Tucker, sources said, but any notion that deal is serious has been miscategorized by @Marc Stein and my listeners. – 1:26 AM
