Every day, ArizonaSports.com asks readers a question. It’s the Sanderson Ford Poll Question of the Day, and it can be found midway down the right side of our home page.
This weekend, we asked our readers what they thought of the Phoenix Suns’ acquisition of point guard Isaiah Thomas in a sign-and-trade deal with the Sacramento Kings.
Already equipped with a loaded backcourt, featuring the likes of Goran Dragic, Archie Goodwin, Tyler Ennis, Gerald Green and potentially restricted free agent Eric Bledsoe, the Suns’ pickup left some puzzled.

Thomas was, however, a 20-point per game scorer a season ago, leaving at least a quarter of our participants excited about the move.
