Thaddeus Young Reunion? 

Post#1 » by DLoMor » Sat Dec 30, 2023 4:14 am

Dude can still play but is deep in the Raptors bench hardly getting any minutes. Should the 76ers trade for him and have him be a sixer again? Nick Nurse knows him too to get an even bigger veteran presence and could maybe get minutes.

Unless he comes packaged with OG or Siakim, I don't see it happening.

Sixers already have a ton of forward depth (Harris, Batum, Oubre, Covington, Morris). I don't think he would crack the rotation.

Pass. I like Thad and am appreciative of the 7 years he spent in Philly but we really need to be getting younger at the wing positions not older.

Nah, we have too many dudes listening to G-Unit and playing Playstation 2 in the lockerroom, as is. We need to get younger (especially at F).

No need to do weird experiments, we need to finally give a proper chance to Mac McClung, he is the chosen one, what we did with him last year is CRIME.

It's crazy because those Thaddeus Young teams were fun...Thad, Iguodala, Holiday, Lou, Brand. Put those guys in their prime around Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, I wonder what you'd get.

Thad was one of my favorite Sixers ever.

man is washed but maybe on a buyout and if we lose deep depth in a trade.
