2. Thaddeus Young

Despite having 17 seasons of NBA basketball under his belt, forward Thaddeus Young does not appear ready to call it a career just yet. The 36-year-old split time last season with the Raptors and Phoenix Suns, averaging 4.2 points per game for the whole year.

At this point in his career, Young is mostly used off the bench and acts as a veteran leader in the locker room. However, during his Pacers stint, Young was much more productive on the court.

The Louisiana native spent three seasons in Indiana from 2016 to 2019 after the team traded for him from the Brooklyn Nets for Caris LeVert.

During his time with the Pacers, Young averaged 11.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1.6 steals per game. Additionally, he started every game he appeared in for the Pacers during this time.

In 2019, Young joined the Bulls as a free agent and spent parts of two seasons with the team before getting traded to the Spurs in 2021.

Young's future in the NBA remains unknown. Whether retirement is an option for him this summer or not remains unclear. However, it seems that signing with a new team in the offseason remains an option for the former Pacer.
