Isaiah Thomas: ‘I’m Ready to Put on a Show for the Lakers’

He’s made that clear throughout his career, and his agent, Aaron Goodwin, restated it in blunt terms after the point guard was traded from the Cavaliers to the Lakers in the deal that brought Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr. to Cleveland.

Even though that is unlikely, it’s still important for Thomas to play well and help the Lakers for the remainder of the season. Thomas, seemingly, will not be one of them. Kyle Kuzma had 12 points and 15 rebounds. The untapped potential on that team is as high as any other team in the National Basketball Association, but for now, IT might be their best player. Meanwhile, the Jazz received small forward Jae Crowder and point guard Derek Rose from Cleveland, and the Cavs received shooting guard Rodney Hood from the Jazz and point guard George Hill from the Kings.

Isaiah Thomas will come off the bench when he makes his Los Angeles Lakers debut?Saturday night against the Dallas Mavericks.

“It was a surprise, but at the same time, I am happy to have a new start”, Thomas told reporters on Saturday.

But Thomas, who said he would love to start but will play whatever role Walton wants, played the entire fourth quarter. But that is all they would need to take down the Celtics. The Cavs will keep the Brooklyn Nets’ 2018 first-round pick, which they earned in a trade with the Boston Celtics.

Barnes paced the Mavericks with 14 points in the half and Matthews poured in 11 for Dallas prior to intermission.

“My mentality is just to help this team”.

“I’m feeling good. I’m all right”, he said of the hip, per Ryan Ward of Clutch Points. For a team now No. 3 in the Eastern Conference and supposedly having two superstars on the court, that’s an extremely discouraging figure. And he’ll get the ball and plenty of shots with the Lakers.

From Isaiah Thomas to Dwyane Wade and Derrick Rose, the Cleveland Cavaliers loaded up on big names last summer. [ Brandon Ingram has] been doing a fabulous job but we’ve gotta get another guy in here. Just in general, we kind of let them get comfortable. “We got to figure it out”. You know, with Harris gone, it really changes our bench look.

Battling the Lakers (23-31) for the better part of 53 minutes before suffering a heartbreaking 107-101 overtime loss on January 13, the Mavericks will seek retribution Saturday night on their home floor.

We all hope the lonely road of nearly unwatchable Cavaliers’ basketball ended the Wednesday before the trade deadline.

Johnson explains that he would not have made the moves if not confident that he could use the money that would be saved in salaries to bring more talent to the team.
