Herrade, think about it. Crawford, Starbury, and Q-Rich chucking the ball up?
They better get a 7 footer with 6 arms to play center for all those long rebounds and bricks going up.

Don't like it... but then again, I'm not a fan of using a 6'6" SF and a 6'7" PF... But I'm still not sure as to why they made this particular deal... Was it really the best offer?  Richardson's salary is relatively modest ~$6.3mil, it's just the number of years (5)--but he's young, whereas Thomas is 35.
Moreover, PHO obviously wanted a center, but they get Thomas, who calls himself a PF and is only 6'9"? 
Furthermore, PHO wants to reduce the payroll every bit so they can resign Joe Johnson, which is why they PHO basically gave away Zarko Carbarkapa for nothing (2 2nd round picks), because he was making $1.3mil. But Thomas will make $0.32mil more than Q-Rich next year, so that decreases the amount of money they can offer to JJ...
Lastly, Isaah Thomas better have some future trades in the works...  Otherwise, the chemistry will be even worse! I mean, who is he going to sign next? Antoine Walker and Ricky Davis? He's got a lot of high-volume shooters that score but do little else. Talent-wise, though, he's got several tradeable assets, but he's no collector like Paul Allen of old...

Thomas, an avid Web surfer, said that he learned of the deal from the RealGM.com report and that his agent had confirmed the talks.
"I just know there's a deal on the table," Thomas said by cellphone from Dallas, his hometown. "I can't comment on anything until it's official. And it's not official yet."
Asked if he believed the deal would happen, Thomas said, "I think so."
Richardson, coincidentally, was in New York yesterday for a photo shoot.
