Isaiah Thomas has reached agreement with the Phoenix Suns and will be dealt as a sign-and-trade on a four-year, $27 million contract. Thomas is a restricted free agent of the Sacramento Kings. The Kings will receive a $7 million traded player exception, along with the draft rights to Alex Oriakhi. Sam Amick reports that the Suns envision a three-guard lineup of Eric Bledsoe, Goran Dragic and Thomas.
Here's how I decipher the 3-team trade. Cleveland gives Jarrett Jack, Tyler Zeller, Sergey Karasev, Cleveland's 2016 #1 (top 10 protected in 2016, 2017, 2018, unprotected in 2019). Cleveland gets Boston's 2015 #2 (top 55 protected, otherwise nullified), Ilkan Karaman (2012 #57, plays in Turkey), Edin Bavcic (2006 #56, plays in Greece), Christian Drejer (2004 #51, retired in Denmark). Brooklyn gives Marcus Thornton, Ilkan Karaman (2012 #57, plays in Turkey), Edin Bavcic (2006 #56, plays in Greece), Christian Drejer (2004 #51, retired in Denmark). Brooklyn gets Jarrett Jack and Sergey Karasev. Boston gives Boston's 2015 #2 (top 55 protected, otherwise nullified). Boston gets Tyler Zeller, Marcus Thornton, Cleveland's 2016 #1 (top 10 protected in 2016, 2017, 2018, unprotected in 2019).
Oh, I see, others have posted in this thread. I just post on this board. I don't actually READ posts.
How much of his salary do we pay if we pick him up for free and buy out Leonard, Claver, Wright, or better, all three?
If they amnesty Boozer we would have to be under the cap and we would submit a bid and if we won we would only pay the bid while chicago covered the rest of his salary.
Yeah, and that's a guy that a lot of people thought we should go after. So even Marvin Williams was out of our price range.
chicago has some pretty freaky big man depth if mirotic comes over too i wonder how much pau is getting?
Unbelievable contracts being handed out this summer. Marvin, Parsons, Hayward and Frye are all getting PAID. And what's up with the rumors or Isaiah Thomas possibly going to Phoenix? How many point guards do they need?
