The Raptors acquired Thaddeus Young, Drew Eubanks and a 2022 second round pick. The pick comes via the Detroit Pistons. In return, Toronto sent Goran Dragic and a protected 2022 first round pick back to the Spurs.</p><p>The Raptors are possibly the hottest team in the NBA right now.

Clearly, Toronto is trying get better and make a surprisingly deep run, similar to what we saw last year from the Atlanta Hawks.</p><p>Meanwhile, the Spurs are at the other end of the spectrum.

Dragic has only played in a handful of games this season due to his decision to leave the team for a personal matter. He wasn’t doing any good in Toronto after spending the previous six plus seasons with the Miami Heat.</p><p>In return, they landed a proven veteran that can eat up minutes and play efficient basketball. Thaddeus Young is in his 15th season in the NBA. So, he is no spry chicken. But he has always been a consistent performer when on the court. Despite his advanced age (33), his shooting percentages have gone even higher in recent years.</p><p>Toronto features the three players who average the most minutes per game in the entire NBA. Fred VanVleet, Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby play more minutes than anyone, leaving <a href="https://twitter.com/Sportsnet/status/1491762641605378058">a really short bench</a>. The addition of Young should allow their wings and forwards to get a bit more rest knowing an offensive option is still on the court.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">The Raptors are one of the hottest teams in the NBA.

So, he should have plenty left in the tank for the stretch run, as long as his legs hold up.</p><p>Toronto has reportedly already waived Eubanks. But the draft pick certainly sweetens the pot. The pick in the upcoming draft is from the Detroit Pistons. Detroit currently owns the worst record in the NBA. So, their second round pick is darn near a first rounder.</p><p>The pick they acquired is 1-14 protected this year. If it does not convey, it is protected 1-13 next year. More than likely, it will not convey either year. In which case, it becomes two second rounds picks in the future. Not all that valuable, hence not receiving an A grade.</p><p><b>SPURS – (B)</b></p><p>Obviously, San Antonio is in the middle of a rebuild. Young was barely playing, so including him in a deal made sense. Dragic is expected to be bought out, so the franchise will save some cap space. But the biggest part of the deal for San Antonio is the draft pick.</p><p>The pick they acquired is 1-14 protected this year. If it does not convey, it is protected 1-13 next year. San Antonio would then receive two second round picks the following year. The Raptors currently are the #6 seed in the Eastern Conference.</p><p>As hot as the Raptors are, they might get even better after making this deal. So, it appears likely they will make the postseason this season. If that happens, the pick will be transferred to San Antonio this year. The Spurs earn some cap space and a mid-first round pick for a couple of guys they barely played, not a bad haul.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Timberwolves have so far engaged the Spurs in Young conversations with Taurean Prince as a centerpiece, sources said. League personnel believes Prince would prefer a buyout if he is traded from Minnesota, just as Young is expected to reach a buyout agreement if he’s not moved.</blockquote><p>Young has barely played this season for the Spurs, featuring in just 26 games. As for Prince, he’s not exactly a huge piece for the Timberwolves, either. While Young isn’t in his prime anymore, he was once a guy who averaged over 15 points and seven rebounds per game.</p><p>At 33-years-old, he’s been around the league for a minute and could offer some valuable leadership to a young Timberwolves team <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/timberwolves-news-anthony-edwards-reveals-minnesotas-ugly-mentality-that-has-now-changed/">who are on track to make the playoffs this year</a>. It wouldn’t be a bad move at all for Minnesota if they acquire him via trade or if he’s bought out.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They’ll have to make some savvy trades around this year’s trade deadline and over the offseason if they want to go back to where they used to be.</p><p>Thaddeus Young is their key trade piece, so let’s take a look at the three best deals that the San Antonio Spurs can get done for Thaddeus Young.</p><p><i><b>*Watch NBA games LIVE with <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/nba/?irad=356361&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener noreferrer">fuboTV (click for free trial)</a>*</b></i></p><h2>Best Spurs Trades For Thaddeus Young</h2><p><b>Spurs get: Obi Toppin, Alec Burks</b></p><p><b>Knicks get: Thaddeus Young</b></p><p>There have been many rumors that the New York Knicks are looking to trade Obi Toppin, and while that deal might not be for a role player like Thaddeus Young, it could be something that the Knicks consider if they can bring back a star in another deal before the deadline and just want to get a few other role players who they believe can help their team win a title.</p><p>The Spurs would be receiving back another young kid with a lot of talent and the ability to be a great NBA player one day. Alec Burks can also hit the three-point shot at a high level, something San Antonio could be interested in.</p><p><b>Spurs get: Davis Bertans, 2022 first-round pick</b></p><p><b>Wizards get: Thaddeus Young</b></p><p>It would be a risky move for the San Antonio Spurs to trade him for a player like Davis Bertans, but if no other team is willing to make a deal, they must make this one since at the very least they will know he will play. Although Thaddeus Young hasn’t played in many games for the Spurs this season, and David Bertans isn’t the best player in the world, it is at least a certainty that he will play for them, and having someone on the floor is always preferable to having no one on the court.</p><p><b>Spurs get: George Hill, Rodney Hood, Semi Ojeleye, Donte DiVincenzo</b></p><p><b>Bucks get: Thaddeus Young</b></p><p>The Milwaukee Bucks will undoubtedly be seeking someone who can defend at a high level, and this may be a good deal for all parties. Thaddeus Young will be tasked with guarding many elite offensive stars on any contending team he joins, and in the case of the Bucks, he will be tasked with guarding Kevin Durant for most of the playoffs. Milwaukee has clearly not gotten the sort of output they expected from any of these four players this season, but that doesn’t rule out the possibility that they may be successful players somewhere and continue to do what they’ve done for most of their careers.</p><p>This deal might be fascinating for the San Antonio Spurs since they would be receiving Donte DiVincenzo, who is still a young guy who can help build a core with the rest of the young players to get this thing rolling and help San Antonio get back to where they used to be.</p><p>They’d also acquire three more players who have shown throughout the course of their careers that they can be above-average and be more than serviceable in this league. They could also be utilized as trade bait during this year’s trade deadline and in the summer.</p><p><b>Spurs get: Joe Harris</b></p><p><b>Nets get: Thaddeus Young</b></p><p>Brooklyn will need someone who can defend and make life difficult for players like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid. They may not win an NBA title, as many of their fans hope, if they do not have players to make it difficult for both of these stars.</p><p>This might be something the Spurs don’t want to do because it would require them to return a large contract, but given how good of a 3-point shooter Joe Harris is, it could be something they are interested in. San Antonio isn’t the best 3-point shooting team in the league, so adding a guy who is one of the best from beyond the arc to their roster would undoubtedly help speed up their rebuild, and he’ll be someone they can keep when they’re contenders again in the future.</p><p>The Spurs have to be very smart about what they do. This is the beginning of a potentially whole new look for this organization and any wrong move could put them in a bad position.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With being in a rebuilding situation, that’s not ideal for a guy that just came off a really good season, going into his 15th season to going to another rebuild.“I don’t mind playing through rebuilds and stuff like that, but the one thing about it is I’m not getting any younger. I’m getting older and at some point, I want to start contending for championships. I haven’t been in any situation where I’ve been able to contend for a championship. I want that feeling. I want that aspect of being able to go out there and being able to compete for a championship every single night. That’s the part that I really want to get to.”</blockquote><p>With promising players like Dejounte Murray, Keldon Johnson, Devin Vassell and Lonnie Walker, the Spurs don’t have much of a need for Young. It would be best for both sides to split.</p><p>After a strong season with the Chicago Bulls last season, Young showed he can be a valuable piece on a good team. He should garner strong interest closer to the trade deadline.
