Isaiah Thomas

The Los Angeles Lakers did not trade for Isaiah Thomas with the intention of making him the starting point guard at the expense of Lonzo Ball. This really shouldn’t even be a question, and yet, for a hot minute, it absolutely was. His agent, Aaron Goodwin, told ESPN’s Rachel Nichols immediately after the trade that [...]

Isaiah Thomas is a free agent after this season, and if we take him at his word, he hopes to stick with the Cleveland Cavaliers into his next contract. Or at least past the trade deadline. The two-time All-Star point guard, who only recently made his Cavaliers debut following recovery from a hip injury, told [...]

And now, we bring you more anecdotal evidence that the Cleveland Cavaliers are in a psychological slump. At 2-8 since Christmas, with a bottom-10 offense, bottom-three defense and bottom-three net rating, the Cavaliers are feeling the weight of their own expectations being undermined by their inadequately built roster. And at times like these, they can [...]

Rajon Rondo has held the reputation of being one of the more ornery and opinionated (at times) players in the NBA.

Isaiah Thomas wants to get paid this summer when he enters free agency. He’s been thinking about this next contract for a while—almost, it seems, since he signed his last one, a four-year, $27 million deal with the Phoenix Suns in 2014. Unfortunately for him, though, it doesn’t look like he’ll be needing a Brinks [...]

Why no, Isaiah Thomas did not purposely clothesline Andrew Wiggins across the throat during the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Monday night drubbing at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Not according to Isaiah Thomas, at least. Just three games into his return from a hip injury he suffered las season, Cleveland’s point man earned himself a Flagrant [...]

NBA players are prideful, narcissistic and petty creatures for the most part. Many players run on fellow players, coaches, front office and media slights for fuel and they all want the respect that they feel they deserve on a basketball court. One guy who deserves a great deal of admiration from Boston Celtics fans and [...]

After the major blockbuster trade went down between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics this summer, in which the Celtics dealt their fan favorite and All-NBA point guard Isaiah Thomas before having to sign him to a huge contract next summer, there was understandably a rift between Thomas, Danny Ainge and the Celtics front office. [...]

Isaiah Thomas looked like he didn’t miss a beat in his return to the court on Tuesday night and his debut as a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers. He looked like he had his quickness and touch and was definitely not lacking any confidence or agressiveness as Thomas scored 17 points points on 6-for-12 shooting [...]
