The trade is a tough one for Celtics fans because Isaiah Thomas was insanely popular in Boston. After the trade went down, Celtics GM Danny Ainge took a lot of heat from fans for trading away their beloved superstar.

I honestly don't understand the rationale of the Cavs/Celtics trade. I'm really upset that Danny Ainge was willing to destroy his nucleus
