Was an ok vet, and did play well when he got minutes. Pretty pointless trade in hindsight.

Don't make it Dinwiddie.

Well, Thad Yong was professional. That's about all you can say.

Actually a bit sad to see Old Man Thad go.

Best of luck. I still think he has another year or two in the tank.

Appreciate him stepping in where needed, especially during the time Yak went down. Thanks Thad!

Thad was true pro and was solid when he had to step in despite not being part of a regular rotation.

Yeah he was a real pro especially stepping in for Jak and playing so many minutes recently. Class act.

We may never know the value of the veteran mentorship he provided since arrived from SAS
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

His time with the Raps wasn't glamorous, but he was always ready to step up when needed and make the most of his minutes.

I'm glad we had him on the team. If Koloko had worked out, I think folks would have been much happier with the Thad trade.

played extremely hard all the time even when he gets overpowered against centres, not quick enough against guards. He rebounds really well
