Isaiah Thomas signs with Lakers

[Birdman]

Knew they probably take a chance

[Walker Wiggle]

Love IT, will always love IT, happy for IT, but... I don't think this moves the needle, especially for a team that's old and doesn't defend.

Also, isn't this redundant with what Malik Monk does for them?

I guess it makes sense that he would take any NBA opportunity, but there’s got to be some resentment there with LeBron.

Looks like a 10 day deal.

I doubt he takes a 10 day deal if they still had issues because if it doesn't work it is probably his last real shot.

The Lakers now have 6 players that have finished in the top 5 of MVP voting in a season

They are

James
Westbrook
Howard
Davis
Anthony
Thomas

And Rondo finished in the top 10 twice but no higher than 8th.

[Who]

Won't make it there

Very Happy for IT.  He stayed the course and is back.  I hope he kills it and can get a multi year contract.  Will always love the Little Guy

I had the impression him and Lebron did not get along from their time in Cleveland.

Zero chemistry but that won't stop a dumb-ass agent turn GM from trying and failing again.

It would be a 10 day contract. He had one last year I believe with the Pels and didn’t make it.

I see IT fighting like heck to remain in the NBA. Taking a G-league contract just play the game he loves. 

Then I think of Ben Simmons, I forgot...why isn't he playing? Oh yeah, his feelings are hurt.   

[nickagneta]

I wonder if adding IT lowers the average age of the Lakers as a team. I mean, that team is freaking old!

He was spoiled way before he ever got to NBA or College .
