James Young to sign w/ Pelicans summer league team

[nickagneta]

Can't wait for the first time Young shoots instead of passing to a waiting DeMarcus Cousins. Should be a cool moment.

PLEASE GOD LET THIS BE TRUE .

Amen

Sounds like TAMPERING from The Pelicans....we should demand one of their players...a tall one.

I was wondering about that. Not that I care because it's not like they are stealing anything from us but how can a report like this come out if it's not tampering. Somebody talked to somebody. I'm just saying... Yes we should demand the tall one.

I still think he has a chance to be solid coming off the bench.

Not our bench. Please - let him go.

Hope he succeeds!

PLEASE GOD LET THIS BE TRUE .

When we play them, just let him shoot.

He's going to get on the court?

He can back up another ex Celtic in Etwaun Moore 

And Jordan Crawford!

In the immortal words of the late Powers Boothe as Curly Bill Brosius in Tombstone: "Well, bye."

I'm sure Ainge will be happy to get one of his more notable draft wiffs off the roster.

Easiest job in the world.....being a critic.
Bo don't know.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprise if Young became a valuable scorer off the bench somewhere. He can hit the 3 if given playing time, and that's a big thing in todays NBA. He has proper size and length for his position, he has speed, and he's still young.

Some players take a little longer to develop, and Jimmy could be one of them. Good luck kid!

Celtic fire sale

buy one get one free ....

sending Zeller along as a bonus ....FREE !

I hope he is able to put it together somewhere. He has all the tools; lefty, can stroke it, good positional size, had that one athletic dunk at Kentucky.

As others have said he could be a good bench scorer one day, maybe more.

I still expect James Young to be a solid rotation player in the league.

Good pickup for New Orleans. Young, cheap, talented bench player.

He may actually be a better defensive player than offensive player at this point.

Sure he will be. And Zeller will be a better rebounder too,

Wish him nothing but the best. I was hoping the Nets would sign him. But nothing but the best. Hope he does a Joe Johnson or Chauncey Billips for them. Great lefty stroke!!!

Is James Young the first "unconfirmed" free agent signing of the summer? lol it's not even July 1st yet how can this be true?

[action781]
