Suns: Thomas agreet to offer sheet from Suns

[Chinook]

What did Phoenix give up for Thomas?

As curious a signing as it is a good vale for 20 PPG, 6 APG as a starter.

Frye wasn't worth what he got, and Hayward isn't worth the Max, but I hated losing Hawes. Younger, cheaper Frye with better recovery speed.

Feels like "asset" acquisition. Suns just signed a poor-mans Lillard at 7+ per year. That'll be worth a few 1sts in time to somebody. Once Bledsoe/Tucker are re-signed the CAP space available only this season would be gone. So use it wisely, bring in young talent, give yourself outs/options, and don't waste opportunities.

Alex Oriahki and trade exception from Butler-to-Milwaukee trade last summer.

There have been far worse signings than Thomas in this off-season, tbh, not a bad move from Phoenix at all..

7 mil is pretty good in this year's market for one of the best "heat check" scorers in the league, a guy that could be a great 6th man..

So basically nothing.

Strangely, the Kings chose to pay Darren Collison to be their starting point guard instead of Isaiah.

You can't have a 5'9" starting point guard, X. It's untenable. Even off the bench it's impossible.

The Kings franchise has been anti-Isiah Thomas for years, tbh..I know it was widely discussed in fantasy circles when everybody drafted Thomas and the Kings refused to start him until last season..

Because he's too damn short. They wasted their time and finally accepted that fate. Now it'll take the Suns 3 years to come to same damn conclusion. You can't play in the NBA at 5'9.

Hopefully Cousins didn't ruin him.

His genes did that, Suns withstanding.

I agree from a starting perspective..I think he's really solid as the lead scorer off the bench, though..

If Phoenix is looking to start him, then ya, I don't like the signing..

Patty Mills disagrees. He's 5'11" and played a huge role for the champions.

Collison is a downgrade from Isaiah, there's no two ways about it.

[JMarkJohns]

Correct

Nate Robinson being an exception with a few others I'm sure. He has incredible athleticism for his size and his jumpshot and court vision will only get better. I would be excited if I'm a Suns fan.

"We" couldn't stop the Suns with a gun. They're gonna do this and we'll be absolutely inundated with the cute & quaint stories about the little train who could. "It's not the size of the man but the size of the heart." on & on.

They'll brazen out like they always do.

I am excited. No James for them. No Love for them. O & half-a-100 for them.
