Looks like we may be getting Ty Lawson, according to multiple reports.

Great player but is this what we need?

What is Ainge & co. up to? What about Marcus? This CANNOT be a permanent move.

My worry is we are getting Lawson because a) He would be going to Sacramento in a three team trade for cousins or b) smart is going to Sacramento

Bulpett's latrst article says a western conference team has called about Gerald Wallace!

Thomas is so underwhelming to me, he's a JAG in the truest sense, but maybe he's a piece?

I dunno anymore....

He's got two more years on his contract after this at 7 million or so and his contract actually goes down in price as the years go on

He's an excellent pick and roll ball handler, spot up shooter, guaranteed scoring punch for our bench.. Basically the ideal 6th man

Cost way less than Dragic or lawson and won't take away from Smart being the starter

ISAIAH THOMAS?!?!?!?!?!

Our backcourt is getting clogged. We're having the same problem the Phoenix Suns had at the beginning of the season (save the fact we have a crapload of draft picks).

Isiah has more value in a trade than that Cleveland 1st will. I think Danny uses him as a chip. But even he sticks around next season his current current contract is pretty good when you consider the cap is going to be going up a lot this summer. I agree with Kev too, I think he could be a good sixth man for us.

We basically run a three guard rotation with smart, Bradley, and Thomas... Young might get a few of those minutes and takes tayshaun's minutes too

Thomas is the sixth man and about as good a scoring sixth man as you can get

His contract is a bargain

Don't know how to feel. Thomas is a defensive liability, has a tendency to ballhog on offense, plus we know if he doesn't start over Smart he'll be crying up a storm

Who would y'all have preferred: Lawson or Thomas?

Playoffs push or rebuilding?

Sullinger has a stress reaction in his foot and according to Stevens will be "out for a while"

Lawson is the better player and is only like a year and a half older than Thomas so it's not like youth is a big deal.I think Lawson would've made us a playoff lock, whereas Isaiah increase our chances but I wouldn't say puts us in the door for sure.

I'd prefer to get a lottery pick over being smashed by Atlanta or Cleveland in the 1st round

I prefer Isaiah because he has an unreal contract, didn't cost much to trade for and won't get in smart's way because he's ideally a really good sixth man

If you get Lawson, you're giving up a ton plus he makes smart pointless on this team

Isaiah was the perfect addition
