When I re read this players tribune by Isaiah about playing for the city of Boston.... You cant help to feel what a bastaard evil Danny is.... The little guy must be devastated
I'm glad we got Kyrie.. but IT4 seems like he was set to retire as a Celtic or something....He is definitely going to stare down Ainge, Wyc if he ever sees them courtside... What can you do

Yeah, I can imagine.
Being in Boston seemed to really help to fuel his competitive fire and seemed to give him a city that really felt like home. It seemed as if he felt he belonged here and it had become a part of him.
I do think he must be pretty devastated. Especially going to the Cavs. I can see Thomas being one of those guys who wanted to earn respect, wanted to carry a team, and wanted to show he could be a great player in his own right.
Now going to Cleveland, he will always be living in Lebron's shadow. if he does earn a ring, it'll be Lebron who will get all the credit for it with Thomas being just his little sidekick. If he doesn't get a ring, people (including Lebron himself, probably) will point there fingers at Thomas and Love for not doing enough to get him there. Somehow Lebron loves taking credit when he wins, but never seems to want to when he loses.
