James Young 

Post#1 » by nickforthreee » Mon Oct 31, 2016 8:26 pm

should we try to take a chance on him? boston just declined his option and he's gonna be on the trading block.

he has one of the smoothest strokes i've ever seen, i feel like with an opportunity he could put it together here. he's not good on defense but he's not terrible either. and he's bulked up and looked pretty good getting to the rim in preseason.

based on a reddit post I read that had 4 upvotes he sucks. I think we should pass. It's you vs. 4 that's just the math.

Yeah, I was just kidding. I'd like to take a flyer on a young player. James Young would be fine. I was also into Hunter/Goodwin/Payton

Man, how nice would Hunter be right now with Lamb hurt? No coincidence he ended up with the Bulls though, the ONLY team that stayed below 15 players and watched what the other teams did with their excess players.

I'll be honest, I'd rather play Harrison over Hunter. I have seen nothing that makes me think Hunter is an NBA player.

Hunter's been underwhelming but...worse than Harrison seems like a stretch. I was being kind of tongue in cheek though, obviously we didn't foresee Lamb getting hurt already.

We gave up a first for Bellinelli. I'd take a flyer on Young for say a 2018 2nd or what not.

Perhaps. Either way, neither is really worth worrying about losing.
