An "unconfirmed rumor" suggests that the Kings have offered Isaiah Thomas to the Cavaliers for the No. 19 pick, according to Bob Finnan of the News-Herald.
Skeptical readers can stop reading after the phrase "unconfirmed rumor." Thomas, who will earn $884k next season, led the Kings last year in true shooting percentage, assist percentage, offensive rating and win shares, per basketball-reference.com. This year's draft has been widely derided as lacking in talent, which makes it even less likely that Sacto would deal IT2 for a mediocre pick. Jun 2 - 12:54 PM

Isaiah Thomas - G - Kings

Isaiah Thomas and Keith Smart are talking at least once per week discussing basketball.

This is noteworthy because IT2 wasn't shy about ripping Smart at times during the regular season. "He's a great guy, a motivator, a guy that's going to do whatever it takes to win," Thomas said. "Just like us players, we've got to improve each and every year, and he knows he's got to improve. … I'm going to tell them he's a great coach, a great guy that really motivates you to become the best person you can be." That's a pretty strong endorsement from Thomas, but it might not be enough to save Smart.

Isaiah Thomas - G - Kings

Isaiah Thomas scored 16 points on 5-of-10 shooting (including four threes) with four rebounds, two assists and five turnovers over 27 minutes in the Kings' loss to the Thunder on Monday.

Thomas has been somewhat vocal about Keith Smart's rotations and tonight the normally upbeat player looked extremely frustrated on the court, especially after a series of plays in which teammates ignored him wide open at the 3-point line. Smart benched IT for the second quarter and then after Thomas was key in wiping out a big Thunder lead in the second half, Smart benched him some more. Hilariously, Smart talked in postgame like he'll be coaching the Kings next season.

Isaiah Thomas - G - Kings

Kings point guard Isaiah Thomas ripped into his team and teammates after Sunday's blowout loss to Houston.

"Guys just aren't playing hard," he said. "Guys have clocked out already. I don't know what it is. It's frustrating. I'm tired of it. It's embarrassing." It's hard to disagree with Thomas, and it's nice to know that at least one player on the Sacramento roster cares about finishing the season the right way. Thomas didn't stop there, saying he was concerned about the attitude of the team. "Definitely worried. We're not playing good at all. We're not playing together."

Isaiah Thomas - G - Kings

Isaiah Thomas scored 10 points and handed out a season-high 10 assists in Sunday's road loss.

IT2's minutes tailed off in the past two games, and he had just six points and three dimes on Friday, so this represents a solid bounce-back effort. He only logged 28 minutes tonight but that was actually a team-high for the Kings, who trailed by 18 points at halftime and never made it a competitive game.

Isaiah Thomas - G - Kings

Isaiah Thomas tied his season-high with six rebounds in Sunday's loss, while scoring 18 points and handing out eight assists.

He even had one 3-pointer and one steal despite playing under 32 minutes. "It's just tough as a player," Thomas said on Friday, referring to Smart's rotations. "I always say that when you have inconsistent minutes, you're going to have inconsistent production ... It's how coach Smart likes to coach and you just got to go with it." IT2's ability to succeed under Smart's reign shouldn't be discounted on draft day next year, when the Kings will assuredly have a new head coach.

Isaiah Thomas - G - Kings

Isaiah Thomas played 35 minutes but never got going vs. the Rockets, finishing with 12 points on 3-of-16 shooting, one 3-pointer, five assists, one steal and one block.

There was a bizarre rash of PG shooting problems on Wednesday, and we're not reading anything into IT2's struggles. After all, he finished March shooting 49.7 percent from the field, 45.9 percent from downtown, and 90.6 percent from the FT line.

Isaiah Thomas - G - Kings

Isaiah Thomas played 25 minutes and was benched down the stretch in Saturday's loss to L.A.

He finished with 10 points and five assists. Backup PG Toney Douglas was scoreless in six minutes and it seems Keith Smart has settled into familiar territory with Tyreke Evans, John Salmons and Marcus Thornton freelancing more often than not. Thomas has been remarkably steady for the past few months, so his owners should take these random duds in stride.

Isaiah Thomas - G - Kings

Isaiah Thomas continued his hot streak against the Suns with 23 points, three boards, eight assists and three 3-pointers in 29 minutes during an easy 117-103 win on Thursday.

It's been smooth sailing for last year's Mr. Irrelevant and it seems like ages ago that Keith Smart refused to play him big minutes. In Thomas' previous four games he averaged 22.5 points and 4.0 triples. IT2 is one of the best scoring point guards to own in the entire league right now.

Isaiah Thomas - G - Kings

Keith Smart heaped praise on Isaiah Thomas following Wednesday's win over the Warriors.

IT2 had 31 points and seven assists (seven 3-pointers), and for Smart to openly praise him is a different tune than he was singing earlier in the year. "(Thomas) got himself going as well as the team," Smart said. Thomas is the Kings best option at point guard and has been all season and it hasn't been close despite Smart's previous comments, so it's great to see he's finally trusting his second-year point guard.

Isaiah Thomas - G - Kings

Isaiah Thomas came through with 31 points, three boards, seven assists, a steal and a career-high seven 3-pointers on 10-of-18 shooting in Wednesday's win over the Warriors.

Thomas was likely motivated to play well against Stephen Curry, and certainly answered the call tonight. The Kings win the season series 3-1 and the Warriors are thankful they won't have to see the Kings in the playoffs. Thomas had 25 points and four treys on Sunday, and should be in all lineups until further notice. It took some time, but he's finally become the player we were expecting to see back in November, when Keith Smart decided to make things far too difficult before finally jumping on board with IT2.

Sacramento added a fourth major investor to their group in Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs and sources tell Rotoworld that strong momentum is building for the city to keep its Kings.

Follow our man Aaron Bruski for all of the breaking news, as the city will vote on a term sheet to secure an arena deal on Tuesday, and then both Sacramento and Seattle will pitch a committee of the NBA's Board of Governors on April 3. The full group of 29 owners will vote on April 18-19.

Isaiah Thomas - G - Kings

Isaiah Thomas scored 25 points in a futile effort vs. the Sixers on Sunday, knocking down 10-of-15 field goals with four 3-pointers.

He only played 29 minutes, which makes the scoring even more impressive, though he also finished with zero assists, zero steals and three turnovers. His playing time was impinged by Toney Douglas (scoreless in 21 minutes) tonight, as Keith Smart continues to fiddle with his rotations while Rome burns.

Isaiah Thomas - G - Kings

Isaiah Thomas shot 8-of-15 from the field for 24 points with three boards, six assists and three 3-pointers in 35 minutes against the Wolves on Thursday.

Of course he made all five of his free throws in the win, too. Thomas is shooting a ridiculous 95 percent from the line since the All-Star break and he's scoring 17.1 points per game. Add that to 1.9 triples and 1.2 steals on 48 percent from the field in that span and you've got yourself a must-start player.

Isaiah Thomas - G - Kings

Isaiah Thomas sat out the second and fourth quarters in favor of Toney Douglas on Tuesday, finishing with seven points, three assists, two steals and a 3-pointer in just 22 minutes.

Thomas didn't play poorly, but the Kings were controlling the Clippers late and Keith Smart just stuck with Douglas, who came through with three huge 3-pointers to seal the win. While this is yet another frustrating night to go to bed an owner of IT2, he has generally been able to bounce back nicely from random benchings all season. Look for him to do it again on Thursday against the Timberwolves.
