4 Former 76ers who are still available on the free agent market
Former 76ers forward Thaddeus Young is still looking for a new taker
17-year veteran Thaddeus Young, who spent his first seven seasons repping the 76ers, also remains available for plucking in the free agency board. Last season, he split time in Toronto and Phoenix, playing a meager role that resulted in a career-low 13.3 minutes per outing.
Young has not indicated any plans on retiring just yet, though, making him a viable option even at 36. He is undoubtedly going to be a hard sell for most teams, but those in contention could highly value his basketball IQ, ample experience, and malleability on both ends.
He can only realistically play center at this point in his career, so being undersized does him a little favor here, if at all. Having said that, not a lot of big men have the innate passing instincts he has, and he’s still a solid finisher, albeit in limited servings. Still, any team in need of veteran leadership could do much worse than take a flier on Thadgic Johnson.
