2x NBA All-Star The Boston Celtics Must Consider Signing
Isaiah Thomas recently signed with the Salt Lake City Stars, who are the G League affiliate of the Utah Jazz.
The 35-year-old hasn't played in the NBA since the 2021-22 season when he appeared in 22 games for the Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks and Charlotte Hornets.
Since Thomas is clearly trying to make a return to the NBA, I believe the Boston Celtics should consider signing the 11-year veteran.
Why?
The Celtics are currently the first seed in the Eastern Conference with a 49-14 record in 63 games.
They have a veteran-led roster that will have a legitimate chance to win the 2024 NBA Championship.
That said, the Celtics do not have a lot of point guard depth, and Thomas would be an intriguing addition to the end of their bench for a playoff run.
He has a lot of experience, is a well-liked player and is capable of scoring at a high level.
In addition, Thomas had the best years of his career playing for the Celtics.
He made his two All-Star Games with the franchise and helped them reach the Eastern Conference Finals in 2017.
Fans would likely love a reunion and his presence (even with limited playing time) would give the team a significant boost.
Thomas was the 60th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft out of Washington and has career averages of 17.7 points, 2.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists per contest while shooting 43.4% from the field and 36.2% from the three-point range in 550 regular season games.
