As well as Bron's been playing, Father Time is undefeated....
Yeah, eventually. But who knows when that is with LeBron? Nobody has ever before produced at this level at this age.

Is it? He won't shoot outside of 5 feet. I'm not worried about him in the slightest.
OK. If you watched the highlights, they walloped the Jazz. The Jazz have been competitive this year.
Markkanen and Sexton shot a combined 5-22. The Jazz have been competitive recently because those guys have been lighting it up.

Thad Young has been looking good since getting reinserted into Toronto’s rotation. Should definitely be a target if he gets bought out.

He's had a handful of nice games including tonight against the Bulls. He's also had a lot of duds.

Adding his size would certainly be welcomed, but I wouldn't have much confidence in the dependability of his performance in the playoffs.

I'd still rather have him than PJ Tucker.

Thad has always been hit and miss over the years.

The idea that Embiid intentionally avoided playing Jokic is absurd. He's clearly been hurt and the media people who've perpetuated that narrative should be ashamed.

I do find it interesting that he misses far more road games than home games

On the buyout market, with the restrictions, we're not getting anyone fully dependable. Here's the list I posted in the other thread of players we conceivably target:

Danilo Galinari, Mike Muscala, Otto Porter, Thad Young, Monte Morris, Cedi Osman

Not exactly a murderers row. I'd probably rank Osman first.

I would definitely take Thad Young on the buyout market. He probably doesn’t have much left, but I saw he put up a 15/6/6 last night. He can be the small ball version of what Nurkic is for us. Not sure where he’s at defensively at this point, but if he’s still solid, he’d be a great addition.

It would be great if it happens, but he’s not playing well in the g league…he’s not an nba player anymore. It seems a bit arbitrary that 10 years is the cutoff. But also, he made 50+ million in his career. I’m sure it would be nice, but he can afford health insurance for his kids. Not a ton of sympathy from me.

If we have a roster spot open up for some reason (I'm not advocating cutting anyone for this), I think I would sign him just so that it sends a message to players that we're an organization that will take care of you. Who knows what future young player might have Tony Snell in his year, or if he happens to go work for an agency or something like that?
