Free agent point guard Isaiah Thomas will work out for the Warriors next week, sources tell Jorge Sierra and Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link).
Thomas, who has only appeared in 55 total games over the last three NBA seasons with the Nuggets, Wizards, and Pelicans, has indicated he’s fully recovered from the hip problems that bothered him for years and is looking to get back into the league. He recently worked out for the Lakers and Mavericks in the hopes of securing an NBA deal.
Rumors surfaced this week linking Thomas to EuroLeague club CSKA Moscow, but those reports were either inaccurate or were the result of a misunderstanding — both Thomas and his agent Bernie Lee took to Twitter on Wednesday to shoot them down and to stress that the 32-year-old remains focused on playing in the NBA rather than going overseas.
The Warriors, meanwhile, have been working out some free agent guards as they consider possible candidates to come to training camp and compete with Mychal Mulder and Gary Payton II for the 15th spot on the team’s regular season roster. Darren Collison and Ryan Arcidiacono are among the players who have recently auditioned for Golden State.
I think they need a center more than a PG. Both centers on the team have history of injuries.
They’re fine regarding centers. Wiseman/looney will be enough, because they play plenty of small ball lineups with draymond at center.
They need another ball handler. To backup curry. And so that klay can be eased back into playing.
Looney has a bad hip and Wiseman is coming off a knee injury. If 1 goes down you must play small against much bigger lineups. Poole can back up Curry if he gets hurt with Payton or Mulder still backing up PG.
Peyton and Mulder won’t make the team. They’re actively looking for their Replacements now.
Bjelica will be playing the big man role often too.
lol remember last year “no one over 6’6″ allowed!”
I want to keep the spot open. Trade for a point guard.
Example
Trade Poole and a 2nd round pick to Knicks for Quickley
Knicks have 5 point guards now.
Trade Wiggins and picks to Thunder to save some money.
He’s the worst of all the guys who have been working out for the team, and he’s a selfish player who never plays defense or hustles….I rather have Payton/Mulder than him all day….
He’s no longer an NBA player. GO to China !
If only it was the 80s Pistons I.T.
Warriors don’t need him … they could use the Isaiah Thomas who played for the Pistons … his workout today might be better than this Isaiah Thomas
He should go to a league where his defense isn’t as much a liability because his offensive game does not warrant a roster spot
Praying to Jehovah that Collison is on GSW this year as the 15th man, what a massive upgrade over Mulder that would be.
Boy the hate y’all have for IT4… I mean did he do your sister or something like that?
Just wondering, as he comes across as a likable dude!
Not really. He refused hip surgery when he could not even jog.
