[Lewenberg] Young has several incentives in his contact (most of them are unlikely), all of which are contingent on him playing at least 60 games. He played 54 before 14 straight DNPs to close the season. Only $1M of his $8M deal for next season is guaranteed if he’s waived before June 30.

FO: **There is no financial incentive in Ba Sing Se**
He will be a nice trade asset for a team who wants to reduce their tax bill.
The owners are frustrated with the (awful in retrospect) Thad Young trade and are taking it out on him 😂
Thad must be furious
Ugly business. You’re crazy if you think players won’t hear about this and think twice before coming to the Raptors
The Raptors honestly did him dirty
Not a good look for the franchise.
Yeah…that makes things make more sense now.
first round pick
His wife def been making remarks on Twitter
First round pick tho
Damn that feels dirty
It’s a miracle he played as many games as he did. He is terrible.
so the thing that stopped the atrocious Thad at the 5 minutes wasn’t good coaching…it was financial incentive? capitalism saves the day 😭
Traded a pick for him to save money. Then we didn’t play him to save money. This is what happens when you have a capologist as a GM. Every move is made through the lens of “what will make my billionaire owners more money?”
They better waive him. He’s terrible, no urgency to set screens for his teammates, no urgency when it comes to boxing out. He’s slow and lazy out there. Provides absolutely nothing. Cya later.
I’m not sure why people are saying we did him dirty. Thad made 8 million dollars this season. Who else was doing that? His incentives are 60 games + one of (a) 6th Man, (b) All-Def, (c) playoffs. Its not JUST 60 games.
Traded a FRP to get a guy in his mid 30s who was already not playing on the Spurs. Underrated trade fleecing
Even if you don’t care about Thad (which would be a shitty attitude to have, as a fan) this is the kind of shit that fucks up locker rooms
