Young, who just turned 28, had his best season in Brooklyn. A fan favorite, he became the first Net player to move to Brooklyn with his family ... and has been featured as recently as this week on the Nets website.Young is owed a guaranteed $25 million over the next two years and has a player option at $13.8 million in 2018-19.

Jake Fischer of Sports Illustrated reports Young has been informed that Nets are shopping him.

Shekinah Young, one of the most popular Nets wives, left no doubt of her feelings...

I hope we stay in BK RT @NotTheChuckD: If Thad gets traded today just know the fans totally appreciate him ... https://t.co/g2xnEu9ofK
