Isaiah Thomas just got traded to the LA Lakers this afternoon and it seems like his camp are already making demands.
Immediately after the Cavs-Lakers trade, Thomas’s agent told ESPN’s Rachel Nichols that IT was not coming off the bench for the Lakers despite the team already having a starting point guard in Lonzo Ball and prefers to get bought out by the team.

Ramona stood by her stance. Insists he likely will not start.

As of now the Lakers aren’t really committing to starting Isaiah Thomas over Lonzo.
