And the Cavs are reportedly looking to deal for Kemba.
BRIGGS is not happy the Knicks didn't make a move for IT2 and will probably start a new thread here shortly.

The Knicks need Isaiah Thomas like they need KP to tear his other ACL.

And chances are - 2 year MLE deal in the off season will be enough to sign him. Lakers aren't bringing him back.

spot on. Straight up salary dump for them. Hell... they may even just cut him.
IT is terrible. EVeryone and their mom knows this except Briggs.

LOL I said from the beginning that I would want the "IT2" from Boston and that Id look at him for 50 games. The "IT2" from Boston was awesome. This is a player that needs rehabilitation time--and hes going to get that in LA.
The Cavs just made 3 trades in the last hour. Holy crap. We need to make one!

Strange move for LA. Expiring and why would they resign IT for big money with Ball there? Guess Clarkson salary dump a big plus for them.

its not... straight up salary dump. They can now add 2 super max type to go with Ball/Ingram/Kuzma and have funds to resign Randle as well.
Obviously they have to execute in this offseason and get guys, but Lebron is gone. Lakers can sign 2 max guys and have some talent. It will be interesting offseason.

Why is "Lebron gone"?????
I'm expecting serious tension between IT and lakers. Car wreck
I have the strange feeling we'll all learn that there are very few teams/systems (maybe just the celts) that can extract value out of IT
IT should have known he was a goner when Lebron wouldn't celebrate with him after last night's thrilling win. Lebron already knew he was out.
I.thomas, defensive lack abilities
Caught up to him and rest of NBA.
His trap/mouth lip service exceeds his play
Though good when he was good.
But ... I ain't sure he will fly
In lakerland
His agent says that Thomas wont come off the bench, wants a buyout, but someone quoted Thomas as saying he is really happy to be back in Cali. Going to be interesting.

So you started a new thread after every game he played just because you wanted to take a look at him? Nice try. His shots were falling in his first 30 or so min back (just by coincidence) and you were crazy about him.

When you make a statement it should have facts. First off I said that I’d like to see him play over 50 games to se what he is and if h can return to form. Go look it up before spewing false drivel.
On top of which it seems a lot of peope missed the reality that it2 was a top 5 nba mvp finalist and the main guy on an eco team the year before. It’s going to take him the rest of the year to see what he is— then let’s talk

But you sign a guy based on what you think he will be not what he was. No one here cared that Amare was a superstar before he came to the Knicks.

I doubt it.
Chris Bosh
Kevin Love
Kyrie Irving
Erik Spolestra
Mike Brown
David Blatt
Danny Ferry
There's a whole list of guys out there, when things are going bad for LBJ and he feels the media heat, where they just get hatcheted in the open press. Notice Tristan Thompson, who is just plain dogging it, and on a horrible Klutch Sports contract, gets nowhere near the battering that some of these other guys do in the press.
Kevin Durant, Nick Young, David West, Zaza Pachulia, JaVale McGee, Omri Casspi, Shaun Livingston
There's a whole list of guys who took way less than market potential to go to or stay with the Warriors. Notice no one is clamoring to play with LBJ. The book is out on him and Rich Paul, they will gut you in the press.
IT2 is not a horrible player. He's been productive nearly his entire time in the NBA. He's clearly still hurt now. Is he worth a max contract now? No, but he's still a very good player but has a ton of questions. He can create his own shot, and as much as LBJ wants to hatchet him, the problem is LBJ can't play actual free flowing team basketball. He needs shooters around him and at least one other player who can create his own shot to trade off going into isolation.
You can't blame IT2 for every last bit of trouble he had on the Cavs. LBJ is the common denominator there.
