    Re: 2017 Offseason Thread

    Rumor has it that, Isaiah Thomas isn't happy about basketball right now. He's mad at the Celtics and really doesn't want to play in Cleveland. Alot of this still revolves around his sister's passing.

    Just whar I heard from someone else who heard.

      I hope he doesn't throwaway a year of his career based on "hurt feelings." The issue with his sister's death is beyond basketball, so that is more than understandable that he feels guilt or is still grieving, but he should know more than most (he's been traded two or three times, already) the business side.

      Loyalty is very, very hard to come by in professional sports, so he needs to think about what he could lose long - term if he decides to not play.

        If that's the case then why did he even show up in Cleveland for his physical?

          I wouldn't trade Kyrie. I'd just kep him until I found something better than a broken player and a pick.

            League needs to step in and get this trade done. CLE has hurt IT and themselves here. It's just an awful look.

              This is all a given imo. IT loved it in Boston. His family is settled there. He's obviously not over his sister yet and never will be. Nobody really wants to play in CLE unless they have a connection like Bron.

                Well it's not like brothers were flocking to go to Boston either now.

                  Wasn't trying to make a contest out of it. Just relaying that most of that rumor is fairly common knowledge.


                  But I think Boston did fairly well FA wise the past couple seasons though.

                    Wasn't trying to make it contest either. Just thought it was kind've ironic hearing a Boston fan say that, that's all.

                      Looking at this from strictly a basketball perspective, Thomas is going to a team where he can make it to the finals in a contract year. If he is able to play and perform well he'll be making money next summer. I understand the disloyalty aspect but Cleveland is probably the best place Boston could have sent IT, besides the Warriors. If anything this should be fueling Isaiah, not breaking him.

                      The deadline for a decision is Thursday, I believe, barring Boston and Cleveland renegotiating and extending the trade trade offer. We should know the outcome to this debacle soon enough

                      Edit: "The deadline to report and submit to a physical for the players involved in the trade is 10 a.m. ET Wednesday, and the deadline to pass the physical is 10 a.m. ET Thursday, per league rules" espn

                        Quite possible IT loved being a Celtic so much, he built a strong competitive hate for the Cavs and LeBron.

                        Has to be awkward to now play for that team you wanted to beat.

                            "I am not damaged," Thomas told ESPN on Tuesday. "I'll be back, and I'll be the same player."
                            Cleveland and Boston officials started to engage each other on a solution on Tuesday, league sources told ESPN. Cleveland is no longer seeking one of the Celtics' top young players or significant draft picks, league sources said. The Cavaliers could be inclined to complete the deal for a late first-round pick or second-round considerations, league sources said.
                            Isaiah Thomas was forceful in his belief that his injured hip would not have a long-term impact on his career. "I am not damaged," Thomas told ESPN on Tuesday. "I'll be back, and I'll be the same player."

                              Wait. Late first sound/second round pick instead of the Nets pick or in addition to?

                                They were always going to include another draft pick, it was just a matter of how low it would.
