NBA Trade Deadline 2012: Grizzlies Trade Sam Young to the 76ers

 

The Memphis Grizzlies have now traded their swingman, Sam Young, to the Philadelphia 76ers today in exchange for the rights of Ricky Sanchez, the Associated Press reports. 

Young was drafted by the Grizzlies in 2009. He averaged about seven points and two rebounds for the team in his career. 

"We feel Sam's overall skill set can be a valuable asset to our team," Philadelphia president Rod Thorn said. "He adds to our depth at two positions."

What do you think of this trade? What  can Young provide for Philly?
