Thad Young is solid he has been playing well for the Spurs this season. It's not a fancy name for sure but that's who we have been as a team.

And will say absolutely nothing

"we had our hands in a lot of potential deals, fielded a lot of calls. Nothing really materialized. We evaluated all the potential deals that would make our team better. The Young one made the most sense. With the way our guys have been playing we owe it to them to let them play it out the rest of the way"

Furthermore, Drew Eubanks is the type of physical big this roster could use, and the deal also creates a $5.25 million trade exception while comfortably ducking them a few million dollars below the tax (not a minor detail). But above everything, it’s fascinating to see the Raptors likely surrender a first-round pick for what may be a months-long rental on someone who’s only logged 43 total minutes in 2022. The Eastern Conference is basically wide open, and their self-belief as a threat to emerge as the last team standing should be growing by the day. If Young can carve out real minutes in their playoff rotation this trade will likely have been worth doing, though that’s no guarantee.

Lets see IF the Raptors make the playoffs.

Whos gonna keep us out of the Playoffs? The Hawks or the Hornets perhaps?

I appreciate Masai and Bobby tried, but this still feels disappointing. Our biggest needs weren’t addressed.

Just wait for Grange to confirm.

That tweet will show up tomorrow around noon.

Can't wait to gas the starting 5 JUST to squeak into the first round/play-in.

And then play high intensity playoff hoop with a 5-7 man rotation.

Pause.

We are playing the long game figuratively and literally.

Actually I believe Webster publicly credited Nurse with that pick (I forgot during what interview). Apparently Nurse raved to Bobby and Masai about Scottie and said he wanted him over Suggs, and they backed their coach.

Personally, do not give a damn about the other teams.

Way more concerned with running the starting 5 to the brink, just to get slapped around in the play-in/first round like Sonny did Carlo in the Godfather.

My guess is we wanted more OG at the 2, as he's bullying guys in the post and we love length, and Thad helps with playmaking if we don't have a real PG out there.
