Isaiah Thomas needed a home, and the Denver Nuggets needed a backup point guard. The two hammered out a deal, and now Thomas is coming to Denver on a one year, $2 million dollar deal, which equates to the veteran minimum. What’s a little surprising is that the Nuggets were able to get Thomas, especially with the opportunity for more playing time elsewhere. What’s more surprising is the fact that Thomas was only able to sign for the veteran minimum, and barely anyone wanted him.
Thomas was an absolute stud on the Celtics just two years ago. He finished 4th in the MVP voting, and carried Boston to the Eastern Conference Finals.
