Just a hypothetical here. If Mike Conley had interest in signing with Boston as a free agent, what kind of talent do you think Boston could get by trading Isaiah Thomas?
depends on what you package him with .
Hypothetically, could you trade Thomas to a team desperate for a PG (like Philly for Okafor) and sign Conley to fill the PG void? Just one random example off the top of my head.
As far as what we could package him with... let's stick with the lesser picks/prospects (#16, #23, Rozier, Hunter, Mickey).
Could you move Thomas in a package for Melo? Knicks need a quality PG still, right?
We should also consider the salary issue, though. Melo makes significantly more than Thomas. A player like Okafor or Noel works, because they are on rookie contracts and Thomas only makes 6.5 mil per year.
