In one of the no brainer signings not being fulfilled, many people are scratching their heads as to why Sacramento left their sparky point guard Isaiah Thomas to go elsewhere.
Isaiah Thomas is one of them. Not only does he not see why they didn’t go for him, he also feels disrespected that they didn’t value him.
I felt very disrespected. Every year it was somebody new. I felt I did a good enough job to show them I was a starting point guard or a guy who could play a big role with their team. But they thought differently.
(Quote via Dan Feldman of ProBasketballTalk)
Statistically he was on par with Kyrie Irving and significantly better than Sacramento’s current point guard Darren Collison.
Thomas averaged 20.3 points and 6.3 assists per game last season, but that still wasn’t good enough for Sacramento, which let its starting point guard join the Suns after signing Collison.
Sacramento’s loss, Phoenix’ gain. I’m rooting for Isaiah, the kid has skills.
