When Isaiah Thomas got traded to the Los Angeles Clippers last week and then waived by the club, it was hard not to drum up the idea of Thomas rejoining his former team in Boston.
But Celtics President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge put an end to that notion Thursday when speaking on the Toucher & Rich Morning Show on 98.5 The Sport’s Hub.
While Thomas, who spent two-plus seasons in Boston and is averaging 12.2 points and 3.7 assists per game this year, could be a scoring threat off the bench, Ainge believes the veteran point guard wouldn’t be the best fit with this incarnation of the Celtics.
