For the deal the Denver Nuggets go Isaiah Thomas for, they would have been foolish to pass on him. The man was an All NBA Second Team player and nearly averaging 30 points per game a couple of seasons ago.
The Nuggets got him for a veteran minimum. If that is not highway robbery in NBA free agency terms, then I do not know what is to tell you the truth.
Denver was lucky enough to get Thomas to sign a “prove it,” deal and help shore up their second unit at the same time. Besides, if Thomas does bounce back, then the Nuggets will have a legitimate big three on their hands in I.
