Spurs Looking To Move Thaddeus Young

The Spurs are struggling to find a taker for veteran forward Thaddeus Young ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline, per Marc Stein of The Stein Line.

Young, 33, is 6-foot-8 and is averaging 6.1 points and 3.6 rebounds in 26 games. He was acquired by the Spurs in the sign-and-trade deal that sent shooting guard DeMar DeRozan to the Bulls. That happened over the summer.

Stein wrote that Young’s expiring contract is something that may be appealing to contenders.
