The Suns signed a contract to give up teaming up with Embiid in order to help Durant win the championship
As we all know, this year's Western Conference Finals are very brutal. The Timberwolves, Thunder, Clippers, Pelicans, Lakers, Warriors, these teams are already on the verge of the playoffs, even the powerful Durant, Booker, and Beal's Big Three, they are only on par with the Pelicans, 7 places behind Dallas.
Saul's management team knows very well that it will be difficult for the current team to stay ahead of the playoffs, maintain a playoff qualification and reach the dream of a higher championship.
Therefore, on February 21, the Suns officially announced the transfer news of power forward Thaddeus Young in Beijing. This season, Thaddeus Young played in 23 games for the Raptors, averaging 15 minutes per game, scoring five points, three rebounds and two assists. The 35-year-old doesn't have any great performances, but the 17-year professional has a lot of major tournament experience, and Suns manager Jones praised Thaddeus Young in an official statement: "He's a veteran who deserves respect, and he's going to lead us to more championships and make us stronger." ”
You know, in the Suns' view, replacing Thaddeus Young is not as simple as it seems. According to Michael Scotto, the 76ers and Pelicans have already extended an offer to him, and even the Celtics are interested in him at the age of 35, and the game is thought to be for Thaddeus Young.
However, even against the 76ers, against the Embiid-led Pelicans, and even against the Celtics, there will be four superstars, and Thaddeus Young firmly believes that the trio of Durant, Booker and Beal will have a huge impact on the championship. Perhaps, as a veteran who has been in the NBA for 17 years, he also knows what kind of team is best for him, and among the Suns' Big Three, there is also a "defensive type" like Vogel, so he was selected.
Finally, what do you think is the best choice for the Suns right now to stand out in the new round of competition and win the championship?
