Brandon Knight, Michael Carter-Williams, Isaiah Thomas All Got Traded in Crazy 4-Team Deal
The Sixers, Suns, Bucks and Celtics just completed a totally insane and awesome blockbuster trade. It involves three big-time PGs: Michael Carter-Williams, Brandon Knight and Isaiah Thomas. See if you can follow this, from ESPN’s Marc Stein and Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski, via Twitter:
ESPN sources: Brandon Knight to Phoenix. MCW and Tyler Ennis to Milwaukee. Isaiah Thomas and picks to Philadelphia

For Isaiah Thomas, Boston will send Marcus Thornton and a 2016 first-round pick via Cleveland to Phoenix, league source tells Yahoo Sports.

Sixers went from taking on Isaiah Thomas in three-team deal with Milwaukee and Phoenix to letting Suns send him to Boston instead

It essentially works like a four-way deal with Celtics joining in to take on Isaiah Thomas and Philly stocking up future first-rounders

Suns recently offered Dragic for Brandon Knight. Bucks said no. Now Bucks get the guys they wanted all along — MCW and Ennis — for Knight

Sources: As part of Brandon Knight trade, Milwaukee gets Michael Carter-Williams, Tyler Ennis and Miles Plumlee.

So, basically—here’s where they landed:
Brandon Knight goes to Phoenix.
Michael Carter-Williams goes to Milwaukee.
Isaiah Thomas goes to Boston.
Woah.
