I find it increasingly odd that a team that has made some modest progress defensively, would want to bring on a defensive liability, particularly one coming off a serious injury. I’d rather have KCP. Younger, stronger, boards, plays solid defense and steals 1.7 per game. Let Lee go. He’ll be approaching 33, will no longer be two way as a result and let KCP have his minutes at the 2/3 depending on matchups. He’s be our Marcus Smart but with 14 ppg on limited minutes in LA.

I Thomas has been back for four games. Its going to take 10-15 games and practice to start getting back to form. Im not sure Cleveland has the patience and or I dont think they like the chemistry.
Im suggestive of a trade for Isiah and NOT getting nervous with Willy right now UNLESS we get a deal for a guard who is the same age with same bonfides. If we did do an IT I would definitely break out Noah into the Oquinn role a little more KP at C and keep Kanter down to 18-21 minutes 5-4(I think he has a higher value as a 20 minute player) We bring in Thomas we increase our defensive guards roles Frank N and Baker--and our defensive C Noah. There is NO better player for us in trades. Hes almost dead free. IM NOT paying draft pick and young players for Kemba walker or anything else the Knicks might due. Its pretty simple--I WANT ADDED cap space for next year and I want to look at Isiah running this team for 40 games. No draft pick moves no mortgaging out--But a trade with some value in two ways. RIP Crushalot😞

I’ll accede to IT if you agree to KCP being a more than adequate replacement for Lee. Watched Miami nearly upset Houston in Houston - holding them to 99 points. IT - Beas - KP - THJr - & Frank are gonna give up A LOTTA POINTS. WE NEED defensive minded players and I’m hoping Perry finds them.

You know who that team had? Jordan Mickey Anywho luckily for us new management does not appear totally retarded so I think this is something we avoid. Briggs your a fun poster. IThomas is not fun. Look at his whole career. Last year's Celtics team was like the Iverson team that went deep. It was IT and 5-6 of the NBA's better defensive players. Also the reality is Ainge was tactical in trading IT before he had to pay him. "winning is more fun... then fun is fun" -Thibs

I get the idea of buying low- but IT has Amar'e Staudemire II all there. No thank you.
I'd rather pay a bit more and get a better PG - personally like Kemba Walker, but we should still be focused on building 3-5 years out vs. what can we do today. Ever since Ewing, we've been in this terrible circle of 'we're 1 piece away'. Yes, we could use a PG that can take over a game, that could set up KP, take some of the defensive focus off him. BUT IT is the wrong way to get there! |

I think Briggs is saying that if IT is healthy, we should get him.
If so, would he not command a good salary? |

Rather just play T.Burke more minutes because as i've said in another thread, if he has his off court issues settled, which he says he does since getting married and having a child then we just might get the T.Burke that many thought he was gonna be coming out of the draft after being picked at #9. If the way he played in the G-League is any indication that he does have his head right then we already have a guy that can do everything that I.Thomas can do and at a much lower cost then what I.Thomas is gonna get paid. I'm not sure what I.Thomas does that T.Burke can't do if he's that same player we saw in the G-League and if anyone can tell me what he can't do that I.Thomas can do then please let me know? He can drive around any guard to get to the basket and he can shoot it from anywhere on the floor at a good rate and isn't very good on the defensive end just like I.Thomas.

Cav's should send IT2 to the GLeague for his "Spring Training"?
Cav's imploding when he came off DL. Rose is back with the team. JR is riding the pine and Shump's hair shows he lost his swag. |

This is insanity gone to far? NY wake me up when Trey Burke avg 30-6-3 on an ECF finals team. And tell him Avery Bradley and Jae Crowder sent you. With all of the great nBA players I T 2 lead 4th Q scoring for the ENTIRE NBA. You are getting a FREE look at him in this scenario! And guess what--we arent getting a better player than IT 2 ANY time soon--sorry 34% Stan Johsnon LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP Crushalot😞
