Interesting pickup. I hope he has something left.

Hopefully that's as close as we get to having an Isaiah Thomas officially with the team.

I don't know what he has left at this point, maybe it's a favor to him or the agent. Can't be a serious signing where he's going to get minutes or a shot at being in the rotation.

Hmmmm. Very strange signing. He had some highlights on offense back in the day, but the dude is 35 years old and has been out of the league for a while. It also seems like Lee would fill exactly the same role; does this mean Lee is out for the rest of the season and playoffs?

I would be really surprised if IT has enough left to play a meaningful game for us this season. But I'd love to be wrong!

More of a midget SG than a PG, but I suppose they’ll find out if there’s any semblance of an NBA player left in him.

This has the same vibes as the Jimmer signing.
Precious Achiuwa, Dalano Banton, Batum, Chris Boucher, Amir Coffey, Tre Jones, Laravia, Mamukelashvili, Tre Mann, De'Anthony Melton, Minott, Nance, Chris Paul, GP2, T. Prince, Reed, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Tate, Watford, Yabusele

If this was done in December cool, but now it just wreaks of desperation. No matter what they do, we’re a second round playoff team at best. This doesn’t move the needle.

Sure, why not?

He wasn't bad in 2021-22 with Chicago, and it looks like he can still score.

How much of a liability is he going to be defensively is the biggest question.

There's nobody out there right now who would move the needle.

Ummmm ..did you watch the Celtics game? Desperation...for SOMETHING to give a spin change that sparks the team in tight situations...ummm...we needed to try SOMETHING. We can argue what that should be, but hell...it's a 10 day...give it a whirl...
