Summary

In this episode, I talk about Isaiah Thomas's skillset, his value on offense, and what he brings to the table. Then I discuss some of my favorite Denver Nuggets lineups that the team should try to preserve even with the addition of Thomas. Lastly, I talk about two lineups that involve Isaiah Thomas that make the most sense to me. The Boston Celtics used Thomas in one five-man lineup 4x more often than any other. I discuss how Denver can produce a similar lineup without removing players like Monte Morris, Torrey Craig, and Malik Beasley from the rotation.  Learn more about your ad choices.

1:17.3

good, he'll play. To me, this means he's playing. I mean, you always want to give yourself an out

so that people aren't asking questions. If for whatever reason, he doesn't feel great tomorrow,
