According to two high-ranking Western Conference officials and a high-ranking Eastern Conference official, Nick Young is seeking an annual salary in the range of $9 million per season – and few teams have the funds or the willingness to pay him right now.

“I do hear his price tag is pretty high,” one Western Conference official said.

Young averaged a career-high and team-leading 17.4 points per game last season for the Wizards, the highest among free agent shooting guards.

He's a gifted scorer (not much else), not sure that he's worth 9 mil...

He'll go to Los Angeles to replace Shannon Brown.

He's not but with the money being tossed around.....

Let's face it, if Charlie Vilanueva can make 8Mil (next season and the one following) than i guess Nick Young can ask for 9Mil.

That's why we had a lockout...because dudes like Lewis making 20 million tax-free dollars. I think Young is worth closer to $7-7.5 million.
