Young Unwilling To Give Wizards 'Hometown Discount'

[The Lone Granger]

Nick Young averaged a career-best 17.4 points -- improving his scoring average by 8.8 points from last season -- but isn’t sure if he will continue to play in Washington beyond this season, as he enters restricted free agency with an unsettled collective bargaining situation.

“It will be great, but you never know. I done seen a lot, being a Wizard. I’m going to keep my options open and hope for the best,” Young said, when asked about his future with the team following his exit interviews. “The Wizards drafted me, so it’s only right that I’d come back.”

When asked if he would be willing to offer a hometown discount in order to stay in Washington, Young replied, “My mama told me, never leave nothing on the table.”

I wouldn't leave anything on the table either. If one team offers you more than another, your still playing the game that you love, and your just making more money to do it. He should go with the best offer that he gets, that just makes sense. What teams do you guys see going after him?

Thoughts?

why would he take less money to lose more?

hes not going to get a huge offer from any team, lol. so if washington offers him something nice he should sign.

Young wouldn't be nearly as good on a team with significant talent.
I don't see him being much better than a 6th man.

Yeah. Nick Young is good, but he's a starter on the Wizards. Coming off the bench on most other teams.
