The scoring machine, who led USC to the Sweet 16 in 2007, thought that the suitors would be lined up to reel him in once the lockout ended. Instead, the free agency market produced very few long term deals and Young was forced to accept a one-year contract to re-sign in D.C.
"I'm just taking it out on the league," Young made a public vow. "I'm not going to sit back and pout. Nobody owes nobody nothing. It's a business, and if they want me back, I'll come back to the Wizards. I'm happy to be here."
Young got his statement season off to a solid start last night with 16 points in only 17 minutes on an efficient 6 of 9 shooting in the opener.
