at the time the trade for him made 0 sense with our roster and need for shooting. but he's a pro and is ready when needed

Consummate professional, still had something in the tank IMO and played the right way. A bit sad to see him go.

Hope he gets bought out. I think he would actually look pretty good in some situations if he was not playing small ball 5 and had some shooting
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

All that winning culture everyone talked about will be missed for trading a 1st for him.

I think he's being waived by Brooklyn. I'd love for him to end up in Denver. He'd probably fit pretty well in their system off the bench, they need depth, and it would give him a shot at a championship run.

I agree. He is no Jokic but they could run a lot of sets in a similar fashion

Thus Thad Young’s time with us ends like it began, with a pointless, unnecessary trade.
