Nick Young Discussion: Declines His Option - See Ya Swaggy!

Weezy said he would give a warning to anyone who bumped the thread lol, but I thought it was worth it.

 

Were gona be at 16-17 if everyone makes the team...someone has to go

 

Bad on the front office/coaches to even let this guy back around the team IMO.

 

We need a three for one trade for a semi star LOL

 

gonna play devil's advocate... maybe hes a viable bench scorer in Walton's system?






no JK get this clown outta here

 

^^^ I have little doubt that slimmed down, in maybe his best shape ever fighting for his L.A. basketball career and lifestyle .... that Nick can be as good or better than he was a couple years ago when we loved him playing to his best capabilities as like a 6th man. Especially under Luke and this incredible staff he has put together. The big hurdle of course is it's not going to be all cool between DAR and him and DAR hasn't been too subtle with a number of his tweets regarding Nick news. Does Luke bring that in, assuming he can use Nick's skills for the betterment of the team, and fix the locker room issue as well? Don't know that they would risk the locker room situation.

All that said, if Nick is still on the roster and has gotten himself into tremendous condition with his body and his skills when they go to Santa Barbara .... he certainly has a puncher's chance of overcoming the seemingly inevitable buy out or whatever other arrangement they'd have to make to not have him around.

In fact if he is up in camp with them in Santa Barbara that is pretty amazing in and of itself.

 

I don't want anyone gone till I see what Luke can do with them. Having a good sincere coach, who knows what could transpire. Bone heads can become good teammates, average players become good solid players.. We could use a career year from Nick. Like someone said, just a short time ago we all loved Nick. I'm willing to give most anyone a pass from last season. Last season I was more negative than I have ever been because of Byron. Byron had the entire Laker Nation in a swivet. By the end of the season the people that were saying having Byron's head blown off was going too far were ready to pull the trigger....lol One last chance for Nick!

 

As long as he...

Shut up
Work
And
Grind

 

Couldnt trade pau, bass, etc. during their expiring yr, we're not gona be able to trade young without giving up value

 

Can they still simply waive or stretch him..?

 

I think it's gonna be good for the team to keep Nick around. He may or may not have a bounce back year on the court. I'd much rather have to give him spot minutes here and there than Anthony Brown. But off the court, it's not like him and Russell are gonna be hanging out so there's no way his "lifestyle" is going to be a negative influence.

But having to learn to push aside personal differences while managing to still coexist on the court will be good for Russell's maturity. Locker rooms aren't always gonna be sunshine and roses. Gotta learn to be a professional and deal with that tension.

 

That would be great but why would the Bucks do it, couldn't they get more for him?
