Isaiah Thomas will be making his Cavs debut in the next few weeks, & with that is going to come more questions & conversation about the blockbuster trade that put him in Cleveland.
Understandably, Thomas is clearly frustrated with how the Celtics used him up for a conference finals run, & discarded him like yesterday’s paper for what they considered an upgrade in Kyrie.
He’s also getting fed up with backlash he’s been receiving for publicly expressing how hurt he was when everything went down:
It’s funny how people think I keep bringing up the dumbass trade situation. It’s the media asking the same dumbass questions about it. So it’s obvious they want to keep it going. It’s not like when I’m interviewed I’m asking them can you PLEASE bring up the trade please lol.

Don’t get mad at me like im sitting here wanting to still talk about the trade. Get mad at the person interviewing me lol. Get mad at the questions not the REAL answers! These post were for the people who think I’m salty about the trade… Good morning to y’all too lol

Thomas proceded to sit down with ESPN‘s Rachel Nichols to tell his side of the story, & also to update on his recovery.
Interestingly; he infers that the Celtics hid the severity of his injury from him in order to keep him on the court for their playoff run, which caused him to miss more time than if he would’ve just shut it down.
That’s cold if true.
