Isaiah Thomas and the Orlando Magic are negotiating a possible deal

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Orlando Magic are still looking for a starting-caliber point guard and they may have found someone ready for the job in Isaiah Thomas.

As reported by our own Alex Kennedy, both sides "want to get this done" and are working on the terms of the deal. Thomas, 29, would be on his sixth team since entering the league in 2011. While we speculated back in March that he could sign a short deal for good money, it's possible that the mid-level exception would make sense.

Orlando can offer their full mid-level exception, which is worth around $8.6 million considering they're not taxpayers for next season.

Thomas would join Evan Fournier and Terrence Ross in the backcourt, with top picks such as Aaron Gordon, Jonathan Isaac and Mo Bamba in the frontcourt (along with veterans Nikola Vucevic and Bismack Biyombo). The Magic aren't ready to contend, but they're far from tanking.

2. Signed With Denver

Saw it on the crawl on Sportscenter this morning. One year deal.

Wonder if the NBA thinks his hip is still bad and he's damaged goods. Hard to believe nobody thought they could use a guy who can score with and without controlling the ball. (Yeah, i get the defensive concerns with a guy 5'8", in a game of giants)

But, there are some pretty crappy teams in the NBA and i would think more than one or two of them could have used him.
