Bernard Lee, who is the agent for Isaiah Thomas, has denied rumors linking his client to CSKA. Thomas remains a free agent after playing briefly last season with the New Orleans Pelicans. So we are crystal clear on this. Isaiah Thomas is not going to CSKA, CSKA is an outstanding organization but Isaiah’s.
After appearing in only three games with the New Orleans Pelicans last season, Thomas, 32, is now a free agent. With the Pelicans, he averaged 7.7 points and 1.7 assists in 16 minutes per game.
In the 2016-17 season, the veteran was at the pinnacle of his abilities, averaging a career-high 28.9 points per game for the Boston Celtics and earning All-Star and second-team All-NBA honours.

Thomas’ ability to light up scoreboards during his prime made up for the fact that he was a defensive liability. But as his offensive numbers also have declined—he went from shooting 46.3 percent from the field in 2016-17 to 33.3 percent in his three games last year—his defensive deficiencies have grown more glaring.
In the 2019-20 season, the Wizards gave him 37 starts, and he averaged 12.2 points and 3.7 assists while shooting 40.8 percent overall and 41.3 percent from three-point range. The Wizards, on the other hand, finished 25-47 that season.
