Small Trade Idear (Sam Young)

[indeedproceed]

Swingman Sam Young is not in playing rotation and The Commercial-Appeal reports the Grizzlies are shopping him.

The team has reportedly spoken to six teams regarding Young and a source says it's "50-50" that he will be moved.

The Grizzlies are looking for a second round pick.

Boston Trades: Sasha, Wilcox's insured contract, 2nd round draft pick
Memphis Trades: Sam Young, Hamed Haddadi

I like it because it gives us a tough cheap scorer off the bench and some size, while really only giving up a 2nd round pick.

Works for me.  How long are the contracts?

I guess this deal wouldnt hurt us, but why would the Grizzlies do it?

Everyone is a year.

is ESPN RUMORS one of those Insider only pages?

WHat's the deal with insider? is it worth it?

Is he really better than Sasha?

Well, they allegedly want a second round pick for Young. On top of that, and I don't know this for certain, they get $ relief by shedding Haddadi's contract for Wilcox's insured deal. Haddadi has only played in 19 games this season, and isn't really part of the rotation.

I dunno, I think it is. You get a magazine once a month too for the crapper. I read the insider articles, if you feel like you wouldn't, don't buy it.

I had it for a while.  I miss some of the articles, but most of the Celtic related stuff end up in some form here.

Memphis would never do this. They'd rather move Young for a trade exception and a top-55 protected conditional second rounder.

The main reason Memphis wants to trade Young is because it'd put them below the luxury tax threshold which would mean net savings of at least $5 millions ($1.5 million in tax payment + tax rebate for not being a taxpayer).


I don't have much interest in Young anyway. I don't think he's better than Pavlovic. I wouldn't mind to add Hadadi as depth and a situational sub though.

I'd trade Marquis and a second rounder for Sam Young. I'd love that.

Word is Philly got Sam Young for a draft pick.  Not sure what round or who it belongs to.
