#7 Isaiah Thomas (Los Angeles Lakers to Denver Nuggets)

Isaiah Thomas signed a one-year deal with the Nuggets

After a sensational 2016-17 season where he carried his team to Eastern Conference finals on his back, Isaiah Thomas was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the offseason.

After a string of poor performances, he was then traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. In March, he was ruled out for the rest of the season after having surgery to his right hip. Thomas, who was then a free agent, chose to sign with the Denver Nuggets in a one-year, $2 million deal.
