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

Ken Berger ‏@KBergCBS 1m

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

OK close the other thread...this is the deal.

Wow. So are they keeping Bledsoe?

[Smook A.]

So I guess Eric Bledsoe won't be returning

[JimmyMcAdocious]

I hope Bledsoe is returning. A Thomas/Dragic backcourt looks kind of bad. Or IT coming off the bench regardless of Bledsoe?

I don't think they give him 4/$27 to come off the bench. Someone is gone. They just drafted Ennis as well.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Suns stupid af
they need Bledsoe defense.

Goran and Isaiah backcourt defense

[-Lebron23-]

They don't care about shooting guards anymore, just scoring point guards should do

get all 4 dudes to walk into one of those teleporters from that movie 'the fly' and create the best point guard of all time?

Not only that but why would IT go somewhere to be a backup when he finally became a start last year.

[DMAVS41]

Why not keep all 3?

Thomas at less than 7 million a year with cap/tax increases over the course of the contract is absolutely a great deal.

Could definitely bring him off the bench as the backup pg and play him 25 or so minutes per game.

Great value.

He was a starter cause Vasqeuz was awful and Ray Macullum still a rookie

[bluechox2]

they have 2 star pgs already
