The Sacramento Kings send Isaiah Thomas to the Phoenix Suns in a sign-and-trade. Thomas signed a new 4-year deal worth $27 million. He visited the Suns on July 10th.

Thomas drew interest from several NBA teams during the free agency process, including the Los Angeles Lakers.

A return for Thomas was unlikely in Sacramento after the team reached an agreement with former Clippers guard Darren Collison.

Collison agreed to a 3-year deal worth $16 million.
