Isaiah Thomas has been asked to play mini-GM for the summer. How effective is he?
The mid-season trade for Isaiah Thomas seemed like your annual pre-deadline deal. A team sheds some space on their roster and acquires a proven player to help fuel the fire right away. However, this acquisition turned out to be far more than "your annual" trade. For the price of Marcus Thornton and a 2016 first round pick, the Celtics added an offensively dominant point guard as well as a player with big time connections.
Isaiah Thomas revitalized the Boston Celtics, carrying them through a late season surge for the playoffs.
