The writing was on the wall for some time, but it finally appears that Thaddeus Young is moving on. Young is rumored to be involved in trade negotiations involving both Minnesota and Cleveland. The rumor is Timberwolves star Kevin Love will be sent to the Cavs for Anthony Bennet and Andrew Wiggins. Minnesota gets Young, while the Sixers will net backup guard Alexey Shved and big man Luc Richard Mbah a Moute. At this point the deal is all but finalized.
Young was able to put together his best statistical season last year while averaging 17.9 PPG and 6 rebounds a game. While he isn't a star caliber player, he is a perfect role player. His athletic build and instincts make him a hustle guy, someone who doesn't give up on plays and shows maximum effort at all times. In addition, the Sixers will also receive a Miami's first round pick next season, which Cleveland owns. This seems like a fair return for a player like Young, so it will be interesting to see exactly how this pans out next season.
