Phoenix Suns Rumors: How they can acquire a Northwest Division starting point guard

Denver Nuggets

This one is a funny one: the Denver Nuggets are playing so well right now that when Isaiah Thomas returns from his injury they might not even want him. Why distrupt the flow of the offense and the chemistry of the team by adding a player who for the past few seasons has been a black hole on offense and who last season was a disruption in Cleveland?

If Denver’s winning ways continue before his return (which is imminent) or if they stumble with Thomas running the point, then maybe when he is eligible to be traded (December 15) they might take a piece in return at another position that won’t need to start or disrupt their flow.

How freaking ironic would it be if Phoenix re-acquired Thomas for half the season? In a way a return of this type would remind me of the Adventures of Antonio McDyess.

I am not a fan of Thomas overall and really hated the punk move during his short stint with Cleveland when he blatantly clothes-line’d Andrew Wiggins then egregiously lied about it in the press conference.

Even so, for a few months this season he would be a significant upgrade at point guard, he could use the Suns’ medical staff to further help with his rehabilitation, make public his amends with Phoenix softening his image around the league, and if he helps make the Suns at least a .500 team (during his time, the presumption is that the Suns will be below .500 before they could acquire him), he could be lauded in a way that might allow him to be offered a larger contract elsewhere.

A protected first round pick is all I would offer, and is probably enough for Denver.
