Even though a lot of the stuff he says usually sounds like parody, I think I'm looking at Aaron Bruski's actual account

And doing bystander math, the fact that both DET and BOS have interest in IT may bode well for a Rondo or Smith play.

Carmichael Dave ‏@CarmichaelDave 19m
I continue to hear that this situation will most likely play out like the Evans deal last year, either IT leaving outright or a minor deal.

I think he was referring to the fake Woj account. It posted something about the Kings going after DWade and Jason Jones bit on it. LOL!

Well, in all fairness to Jason Jones, I bit on it too

 

[Hallama]

lol, it's a trolls paradise right now

Jason Jones ‏@mr_jasonjones 3m
Boston, Dallas, Golden State, Miami, Detroit and Phoenix have expressed interest in Isaiah Thomas. Kings will have competition to keep him.

 

[gunks]

I'd be OK with a S&T for Smith...I suppose.

Smith is a dummy, but brings shot blocking and play making at the 4...And he isnt a horrible rebounder.

I'm just hoping we dont lose IT for nothing...

Jayson Jones ‏@jaysonjones11 14m
League source @AntoineKennedyNBA names BJ Mullens, Jan Vesely as priority targets for Kings on first night.

 

[Heuge]

I will not....

 

[hrdboild]

Interesting that the two teams first rumored to be in play are both teams we've been connected to in trade talks this month. I'm sure his name came up already in discussions if that's the case which maybe explains the Rondo and Smith rumblings we heard before the draft. I still think 4/32 is where this thing ends up for IT which means Jason Terry's ender is enough to match salaries for Rondo or Smith. It's also a crazy overpay, but better them than us.

 

[Tetsujin]

Enough writers have reported it so it's safe to say that is is actually a thing now.

Brian Windhorst ‏@WindhorstESPN 4m
The Celtics reached out to Isaiah Thomas tonight. Interesting, the Kings and Celtics had recently been in talks on Rajon Rondo deal.

Wonder how much Miami could offer before the big three sign? That's a real threat imo. IT has the sack to play with those guys. The real bad news is Miami has absolutely zero to offer in a S&T.

 

[Hoovtrain]

Kind of in a quandary if a team wants to overpay him. This team is in no position whatsoever to lose any sort of talent, so they better at least get something of value back if they go the S&T route...and by value I do not mean an Evans for Vasquez type of bs value.

The only problem with your logic is that all those writers could be repeating whoever tweeted it first.

 

[Tetsujin]

Well, at least that's a backup 5.

Check Brick's tweet quote again.

I just have to trust that random ESPN guys have enough integrity to do some fact checking before tweeting.

 

[macadocious]

Ric Bücher was a random ESPN guy at one time.

Un freaking believable.

Add Boston and Golden State to the list of teams interested in Kings guard Isaiah Thomas, according to @mr_jasonjones.

Hehehehehehe. You used ESPN and integrity in the same sentence. Add in the "fact checking" and you have the ultimate trifecta of hilarity.

 

[upinsmoke]

I don't really know to much about those guys but it looks like they are looking for a mobile big.

Joke by Brick.

Well, I'll stand by my thought that things aren't official until Woj has tweeted it(Kings relocation saga info excluded, of course)

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA 4m
The Lakers, Celtics, Heat, Suns, Pistons, Mavericks and Warriors have contacted Isaiah Thomas' camp tonight, per source.
Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA 11m
With the Celtics reaching out to free agent Isaiah Thomas and drafting Marcus Smart, it makes you wonder if Rajon Rondo trade may be coming

 

[upinsmoke]

Joke by Brick.

Oh really? okay then

 

[Hallama]

@Hallama
Every team in the NBA is interested in Isiah Thomas, except the Kings.

 

[Tetsujin]

Oh really? okay then

Click "Jayson"'s source's name.

So all these playoff/ big market teams after IT, yet some on here are willing to just let him walk. Yes they want him as a 6th man type, but theres no reason he cant transition to that role for us if and when we are a playoff caliber squad.
