Sam Young?

From Bleacher Report:

Sam Young's numbers won't wow you, and that's exactly why he's still a free agent despite contributing to the Indiana Pacers' stout defense last season...

...The Sacramento Kings were reportedly interested in Young earlier this month, even after agreeing to terms with Carl Landry and acquiring defensive specialist Luc Mbah a Moute from the Milwaukee Bucks. Teams like the Kings need all the defense they can get, so Young does have that going for him...

Sounds like a decent bench option to me. SF, good defender, played in a team that knows how to win, cheap.

Yeah, he's been discussed before, and generally positively. He's not a starter, but he's a tough hardnosed defender, and we have exactly one of those on the whole roster (unless Chuck can turn it around), so the more the merrier.

I wonder if the interest is still there and the Oden "kneecision" is what's keeping us from offering the contract. Would love to have his hardnosed defense on our team.
 
Def a welcome signing off the bench. He can defend the 2 or 3 spots defensively at a solid level and he's extremely physical. Having him and Mbah to throw at the elite wing players next season would be a huge improvement over what we've had in the past

Sorry mate, will remember that!
 
I'm sure the Kings will have to over pay to get Sam Young who is a scrappy defender. This is fine except at some point the Kings need to move some players that are currently under contract.
