Isaiah Thomas Discussing Contract With Magic 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Jul 4, 2018 1:45 am

The Orlando Magic and Isaiah Thomas are holding discussions on a possible contract.


While no agreement has been reached between Thomas and the Magic, both sides want to get a contract done.


Thomas was traded by the Boston Celtics to the Cleveland Cavaliers last August and again to the Los Angeles Lakers at the trade deadline.

Get it IT. All you need is one team.
Boston and Ainge destroyed his career. Pressured him into playing while injured and screwed him big time. This guy lost over 100mil cause he kept playing deep into the playoffs for Boston. Hope he gets a decent contract.

BS. Boston pressured him to keep playing while injured on the playoff run and then traded him when he was totally fu-ked up.
No way to twist this into 'it was his fault for stat padding'. That is utter and complete BS and you know it.

Boston could've shut IT down before his hip got worse, but they weren't planning on paying him anyways so from a business standpoint it makes sense.Also Boston did fire the medical staff right after IT was traded to Cleveland.

NBA GM's have wised up and players with torn achilles, labrums, or whatever else aren't getting anything more than a discounted 1 year deal as it should be. Ten years ago some GM would have thrown a 3-4 year deal at this situation...

I'm sure Rondo is supportive as well.

The hate for this 5' 9" dude doing what we can't is astounding! I understand people hating on Dwight for not taking it seriously enough, or whatever. He's got all the tools, 6' 10" and crazy athletic. Some of us feel that we would do more with what he has. But IT doesn't have a leg up on most of us.... he just worked harder. He's better than us. We have to live with it. :nonono:

Just wait and see how he eventually signs for the Warriors as a backup for Steph Curry. Just wait....

I would believe this if IT's entire personality didn't revolve around his cocky brovado and arrogance. I guarantee he made the decision to play to show everyone how tough he is. Every player is responsible for their own health and well being. They're grown men, not high school kids.
