Isiah Thomas - Again

Isiah Thomas is a fool. He's making trade gestures for Eddie Curry.

Folks, he could have had Bulls PF/C Eddie Curry for Knicks PF Sweetney except that he decided to be cute and make a low ball offer for Eddie Curry and then Eddie started playing as at a level the great talent judge Issiah thought only he could perceive. Now that Curry's showing promise and improvement, Thomas decides to belatedly make what would have been a reasonable offer but is now probably too little and definitely too late offer.

Q: If Thomas has such a knack for talent, why couldn't he have stolen Curry from Paxson before Curry played well? Why make a low ball offer and up the offer only after the talented guy shows he's getting better?

A: Thomas can't read players better than any other competent GM. He's a confidence man and a persistent chatterer who's more concerned about his image than demonstrating mastery by moving boldy to grab undervalued talent.
