Boston guard Isaiah Thomas is playing really great, and being a big killer in the last quarter of the games.
But when you look closer, it seems with his strengh comes also his weakness. All his teammates defensive rates gets worse when Thomas is on the court. Look at the graph:

Carmelo Anthony scored 18 points on 8-of-26 shooting with 11 rebounds, one triple and a block, on Knicks victory over Hornets 110-107 on Friday.
Prior to the game, a report by ESPN indicated that the Knicks are actively searching for a third team to help facilitate a trade, so the chances of him being moved are rising by the day. Some Knicks fan were chanting "Trade Carmelo!" during the Nation Anthem, but to his credit he hit a clutch shot in the closing moments over the outstretched arm of Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
There were even rumours of the willing to trade him to Clippers even if not getting one of the three big guys from there (Paul, Griffin or Jordan). What is sure is that Knicks fans want him out.

Pay attention to the following players:
After Wade and Butler criticized their teammates regarding the lack of effort and work ethic, Rondo replied back on Twitter:
My vets would never go to the media. They would come to the team. My vets didn't pick and choose when they wanted to bring it. They brought it every time they stepped in the gym whether it was practice or a game. They didn't take days off. My vets didn't care about their numbers. My vets played for the team. When we lost, they wouldn't blame us. They took responsibility and got in the gym. They showed the young guys what it meant to work. Even in Boston when we had the best record in the league, if we lost a game, you could hear a pin drop on the bus. They showed us the seriousness of the game. My vets didn't have an influence on the coaching staff. They couldn't change the plan because it didn't work for them. I played under one of the greatest coaches, and he held everyone accountable. It takes 1-15 to win. When you isolate everyone, you can't win consistently. I may be a lot of things, but I'm not a bad teammate. My goal is to pass what I learned along. The young guys work. They show up. They don't deserve blame. If anything is questionable, it's the leadership.
