Thad Young in play?

[Moranis]

Young is in the odd predicament of a PF who can't stretch the floor and doesn't have great size for the position. But the can play, and if the #23 with no strings attached will get him, I'm all game for that. Perhaps even #16.

I was kind of thinking the same thing.  Maybe #23 + a 2nd rounder but I imagine the Nets hang up if the Celtics call.

Johnson would have to be included for salary purposes, but I'd probably do Young for Johnson and 23. 

[Geo123]

I'll throw in Amir and Sully if they also give us their 2019 and 2021 firsts, with an option to trade picks in 2020.

Mike

You can't throw in Sully.  He's a free agent

No, you wouldn't.  You just agree in principle, select a player in the draft on Brooklyn's behalf, then complete the trade after the new cap number goes into effect.  When the new $95m cap is in place, we'll have plenty of space to absorb Young's contract.  There's no way I'd trade Amir and 23. Amir's a very good player that makes only $12m on a non-guaranteed contract, that has value if we are making other deals.

Sources: Charlotte's offering No. 22 - if team will take contract of Spencer Hawes or Jeremy Lamb. Hornets need space to re-sign free agents

I can handle that.

Mike

We don't need more picks.

No, I meant I'd be okay if they traded Young for 22 and contracts. Anything they get back is going to be worse than Young.

too much risk doing that.

I think you missed the point.

Their GM would be screwed if he reneged on the deal.  He's new to this, and developing a reputation as someone who can't be trusted would be a very bad move.  If they agreed to a deal like this, it would happen.

Heck, the KG-Pierce deal was agreed to before the draft and then not actually done until after the moratorium ended to make the finances work

[OHCeltic]

I would trade pick 3 for Okafor and pick 16 for Young. Front court looking good.

Zero risk doing that. I'm pretty sure it happens regularly.

[D Dub]

Is Thad Young better than Crowder at this stage?

No it doesn't not where you wait weeks to finalize the deal anyway.  There is just too much risk in doing it that way and waiting for the season to turn over and the week moratorium to pass, etc.

I'd be fine in this sort of 3 team trade

Boston acquires Hawes, T. Young
Brooklyn acquires Lamb, 22
Charlotte acquires J. Young, Johnson
