The perception of Isaiah Thomas to his peers? Free Agency related.......

[jade88]

Yes another IT4 thread,i know.

My question is to those of you who would consider trading him, do you think it would effect the way veteran free agents perceive the quality of our roster, or even loyalty of our front office. Does it hurt us in the short term to move on?

Listening to other stars around the league talk about him, he's considered a peer. That's not an easy place to get to, if we don't have a guy perceived like that, aren't we significantly less attractive?

Fultz isn't getting Griffin or Hayward here is he?

I think it absolutely does. However, I don't think we're going for 'win now' veterans if we trade IT. IT will be on our roster going forward if we decide to go all in. If we trade him we won't be trying to attract Blake or Hayward.

I hope none of those FAs who like IT and are impressed by the fans (as we see on the CB front page today) come here and read those "trade IT" threads. Sheesh.

Would trading IT affect the perception of our roster to FA? Absolutely.
Does it hurt us in the short term to move on? Absolutely.
Is Fultz a FA draw? Not yet.
