#3 Denver Nuggets
The fact that the Denver Nuggets are not really title-contenders despite having the reigning MVP is a problem they will be looking to solve in the coming time. Jamal Murray’s injury troubles last season left them particularly thin at the guard position, something Isaiah Thomas can definitely help solve.
At his best, Thomas was a volume shooter with elite passing skills and even a potential run in the team as a role player might interest the Nuggets considering his price. Regardless, Isaiah Thomas might initially be offered another short-term deal by the teams mentioned here, and much will depend on whether he is able to recreate the form that he has shown at invitational tournaments in the NBA.
#2 Brooklyn Nets
After losing Spencer Dinwiddie and being exposed for a lack of depth in the guard position after injuries to Harden and Kyrie Irving last season, a potential move for Isaiah Thomas makes sense for the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets have multiple other free agents to sort out in the coming days.
Both Tyler Johnson and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot are expected to leave while Bruce Brown and Mike James are also free agents. In such a scenario, a potential All-Star caliber role-player in the form of Isaiah Thomas for under $ 2 million a year can be a potential steal.
#1 Charlotte Hornets
The Charlotte Hornets recently lost Devonte’ Graham and have Lonzo Ball and Terry Rozier as their backcourt options. Isaiah Thomas might not be a regular starter but can be counted to make a decent impact from off the bench and has enough NBA experience to help a young roster to a potential playoff charge.
The Hornets in recent weeks have been linked to multiple back-court options but also need another star on the frontcourt, especially if Gordon Hayward is set to continue his injury troubles in the upcoming season. Hence, IT is an option that the Charlotte Hornets should look at as well.
Guess the Lakers players!
