Let's say Isaiah Thomas wants the full max...

[Moranis]

I would offer Thomas up for a top 3 pick this year. Not in love with the player. Surprisingly I agree with Potter. I prefer two way players and I think Thomas is more about himself then the team.

If you're going that route, trade for established talent.  This team doesn't need another draft pick.

Not sure what you could get in terms of established talent. Also I wouldn't underestimate a team willing to part a top 3 pick for Thomas imo. For example I think the colangelos would do it. They wanted Bradley. It seems they want to win now. 

Also, I'm in love with this draft personally, otherwise I agreed, we don't need any more draft picks. I think the difference between our POV is that I personally consider Horford and Thomas as bridge players. We're basically relying on our picks to pan out in 3 years along with the veteran talent we have. Only way we can beat GS imo

Thomas doesn't make sense for the Sixers at all.  They need a 3 and D PG that can play well without the ball.  That is clearly not Thomas.  That is also why Bradley makes a lot of sense for them as he can fill that role against most teams (he would struggle with the super elite PG's, but do fine against most of them).  Of course if they have a top 3 pick, they can just take that guy in the draft (Ball, Fultz, or Smith) and solve their PG problem anyway.

Let him play out the deal. Bridge player while the younglings develop.

This is what I'm leaning towards.

I wouldn't extend this summer unless it's at a significant discount which almost certainly is not going to happen.

I would want to have this summer's transactions flesh out the team even more.  Then evaluate IT's fit with the 2017-18 team and set your price.

I think that, given their plan of playing Simmons as a full-time PG, Isaiah is one of the players who best fit that starting point (no pun intended, or maybe).

I've been in the trade IT camp all year but probably by myself.  He has value and is not bringing us a title by himself. Get some picks and maybe a big and build around smart and brown

Thomas doesn't make sense playing off the ball next to Simmons.  He isn't a great catch and shoot player and is a terrible defender.  With Thomas and Simmons in the backcourt, they won't be able to guard anyone.  It is an absolutely terrible fit for them.

Respectfully disagree. Opposite arguments regarding size and outside shooting.
