Was Isiah thomas got disrespected ?
Boston announced it landed Irving in Tuesday's trade while sending Thomas, Crowder, Ante Zizic and the Brooklyn Nets' 2018 first-round pick to its 2017 Eastern Conference Finals opponent, the Cleveland Cavaliers.
That Smart took the time to reach out to Thomas in particular—and called him a big brother—is notable because it comes after Fox Sports' Chris Broussard appeared on Undisputed on Wednesday and said some of the Celtics didn't particularly like the point guard.
Despite Broussard's report, there is evidence suggesting Thomas was well-respected in Boston. Celtics head coach Brad Stevens called Thomas "a great teammate" during a postseason press conference, per Chris Forsberg of ESPN.com. What's more, president of basketball operations Danny Ainge didn't hold back when evaluating what Thomas meant to the team in Boston's trade announcement.
