Isaiah Thomas Has a few words for his Former Team
Isaiah Thomas recently opened up about his trade from the #BostonCeltics to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a heartfelt letter to the city of Boston for the Players Tribune. He says that he’s excited to be playing alongside LeBron James this upcoming season, but he’s still hurt by how his trade went down. The NBA All-Star also doesn’t think that it helped the Celtics.
