Isaiah Thomas

Isaiah Thomas is the right player at the right time for the Boston Celtics. Somewhat sneakily, the Celtics entered the trade-deadline field, helping the Phoenix Suns blow up their roster. They basically picked up Thomas for pennies on the dollar, per ESPN.com’s Jeff Goodman: [tweet https://twitter.com/GoodmanESPN/status/568503093798838272] Marcus Thornton was not part of the Celtics’ future, [...]

Fill in the blank time! Goran Dragic’s future outlook with the Phoenix Suns is [insert one-word description here]. Each of the following words are acceptable: uncertain, bizarre, nonexistent, weird, quirky, punchdrunklove, confusing. There are other passable answers, but we’ll stop there for brevity’s sake. Dragic has long been a rumor-mill staple. He’s slated for free [...]

This season, Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal told USA Today that himself and Wall are, “definitely the best backcourt in the league.” But, after his dismissal from the Warriors, former Head Coach Mark Jackson called Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry the, “greatest shooting backcourt in the history of the game.” Since then, the question of [...]

Isaiah Thomas has fired his agent. Nobody panic. From AZ Central’s Paul Coro: With news of Thomas firing his agent, Andy Miller, two weeks ago and with him becoming trade-eligible this week, the dot-connectors went to work after Thomas’ comment to cbssports.com last month that the Suns situation “was not what I expected.” Miller negotiated [...]

Ah, what could have been. Isaiah Thomas was apparently a wanted man during the 2014 NBA free-agency period. Well, not by the Kings. But the Lakers and (obviously) the Suns were both interested. And so, too, were the Celtics. Here’s Green Street’s Ben Rohrbach with more: Other than the late addition of Evan Turner at [...]

Isaiah Thomas loves playing for the Phoenix Suns. But he would have loved playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, too. During a wide-ranging interview with Grantland’s Zach Lowe, Thomas touched upon his free-agent exploits from this past summer. When asked about the Lakers’ interest, he was candid and insightful, and said just enough to make [...]

Sacramento’s loss is Phoenix’s gain. Instead of re-signing the diminutive 5’9″ Isaiah Thomas over the offseason, the Kings signed and traded him to the Suns, electing to roll with free agents Darren Collison and Ramon Sessions. This surprised some. Many, even. Just not Thomas himself. Said the point guard while speaking with Basketball Insiders’ Alex [...]

Well this isn’t good. Eric Bledsoe and the Phoenix Suns’ dance around and toward each other continues. Or are they now dancing away from one another? Mini LeBron hasn’t spoken to the Suns for the last four months, according to owner Robert Sarver (via Paul Coro of The Arizona Republic): A Comcast SportsNet Northwest report [...]

Eric Bledsoe wants to get in-your-face, bathing-in-hundy-sticks, set-greenbacks-on-fire, look-mom-I’ve-made-it, just-like-James-Harden paid from the Phoenix Suns. But that’s not going to happen. Per ESPN.com’s Chris Broussard, Bledsoe, a restricted free agent, is seeking a five-year, $80 million contract from the Suns: The future of one of the most talented free agents left on the market remains [...]

The Sacramento Kings don’t understand no means no. Boston Celtics general manager Danny Ainge has repeatedly said that All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo isn’t up for grabs. That the Celtics plan to build around him. That he’s their future. True story. “I want to make sure Rondo comes back healthy,” Ainge told CBS Boston in [...]
