Isaiah Thomas Talks Impact About Impact Of Conversation With Lakers Legend Kobe Bryant

In the summer of 2018, point guard Isaiah Thomas of the Boston Celtics will be a free agent. The veteran point will be a hot commodity on the open market with plenty of teams vying for his services if he’s open to leaving Boston.

One possibility for Thomas could be landing with the team he admittedly loved growing up. The Los Angeles Lakers are currently banking on D’Angelo Russell being the point guard of the future, but if Thomas is there for the taking, they must consider reaching out, especially with the recent comments he’s made.

Along with admitting the Lakers were a team he “always” wanted to go to in this interview with USA Today’s Sam Amick, Thomas talked about the impact Kobe Bryant has had on him.
