YESSSSS

Suns and Kings are finalizing a sign-and-trade deal on a four-year, $27M contract for Isaiah Thomas, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

 

[upinsmoke]

It's Over IT is a Sun.

 

[fansinceday1]

He agreed to an offer sheet knowing he's gonna be a back-up?

 

[Prog]

Wooohooo!!!! It's happening! Sign&Trade baby!

 

[VF21]

Wonder who we'll get in return...

 

[sdballer]

Wonder who we'll get in return...

I'm guessing very little. Really hoping its not one of the twins.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Yeah! I wonder what crap we are taking back

 

[fansinceday1]

4 years, $27 mil.

Not bad. Sac can't match that can they?

 

[Sac.Kings]

Wonder who we'll get in return...

I hope Dragic, but that's a pipe dream.

Good thing, cause he was torching the bridge like crazy.

(I know it's discussed elsewhere, but that thread is hard to wade through and this seems like real news worthy of a thread.)

The Kings will get an approximately $7 million trade exception and the draft rights to Alex Oriakhi, league source says.​

He signed an offer sheet because it's about $27 million. I hope he finds happiness in Phoenix.

Guess: Ennis and one of the Morris brothers.

We're apparently doing a sign-and-trade. We're getting what we want - someone back - and letting IT go.

 

[upinsmoke]

I bet it's Len but i'm hoping it's Goodwin and hoping against any twin.

 

[Prog]

Wonder who we'll get in return...

Miles Plumlee and Alex Len with 3.5 and 3.8 BLK% last season (1.6 and 1.8 blocks per 36 min) would be my choice.

 

[LPKingsFan]

$6.75/year is really reasonable for a 6th man.

 

[Spike]

Wonder who we'll get in return...

Guess the rumor early in free agency about a S&T wasn't a rumor after all. Funny.

Please dont create an IT appreciation thread. I can only imagine the sh*t show that will ensue

 

[Albatros]

Archie Goodwin I bet.

Not awful. Ego issues aside, I'd rather be paying him that then Landry.

 

[Albatros]

oh no

The Kings will get an approximately $7 million trade exception and the draft rights to Alex Oriakhi, league source says.

I'm sure someone will create one. I'm just hoping our members can show some class and not turn it into a bashfest. I'd like to think we here at KF are better than that.

 

[KingMilz]

What could it be for Bledsoe/Dragic maybe Plumelee?

 

[VF21]

oh no

The Kings will get an approximately $7 million trade exception and the draft rights to Alex Oriakhi, league source says.

Works for me.

pipe dream is bledsoe but its most likely goodwin or one of their bigs.

 

[jcwkings]

Congrats to IT if true, hard work finally pays off. Hopefully we get a Morris twin out of it, or Ennis or both?

 

[upinsmoke]

oh no

Aghhh tell me it's not true.
