REPORT: Isaiah Thomas prefers to not get a max deal, so that the Celtics can become even stronger!

Even though Isaiah Thomas just finished the best season of his career (28.9 PPG & 5.9 APG) with the Celtics, people would expect that he would push for max contract, but he might play for only 6.3 million dollars next season, because he wants the Celtics to get even stronger and become legit NBA championship contenders!

Even though he has the right to have a contract extension, with a max contract, Thomas does not have a problem with being paid as he is until 2018 in order to leave space on the salary cap for other free agents that the Boston Celtics may want to pursue into coming to Boston. "We need the best possible player that's gonna help us win, and I'm with that," Thomas said. "Anything Danny and this organization need me to do to help bring even more talent to this city, I'm all for that. I want to win a championship and being so close to getting to the Finals, that makes you want it that much more.

"I'm all help if they need it. I'll be around."

This shows how Thomas and the Celtics are ready to take on another step forward and challenge LeBron James and the Cavaliers for a spot in the NBA Finals and possibly an NBA title. The question is: Can they land a free agent in the summer, a Gordon Hayward, a Jimmy Butler or a Paul George? This is what Isaiah Thomas and the Boston Celtics are certainly hoping for.
