The Cleveland Cavaliers are sending Isaiah Thomas to Los Angeles, which means the Great Isaiah Thomas Video Tribute Dispute of 2018 is now officially over.

Earlier this year, Thomas requested that the Boston Celtics hold off on playing a video tribute to their former star because he wouldn’t be playing in the game (which the Cavs lost). Thomas wanted to wait until he’d actually be in the lineup, and the Cavaliers have another trip to Boston for a game on February 11th.

The Celtics had already scheduled to retire Paul Pierce’s jersey during that game, however, and Pierce said on ESPN that he didn’t like the idea of Thomas being honored on his special night.

“Everybody’s getting a tribute video now. You play for a team, you get traded, you get a tribute video.”

Thomas responded by taking the high road and tweeted that he wanted the Celtics to focus solely on Pierce.

Many fans roasted Pierce for turning a small Thomas tribute into an issue, but even though Thomas passed on receiving a tribute, his presence alone would have certainly caused some awkwardness.

Fortunately for Pierce, Thomas is no longer a Cavalier – and the Lakers already made their single trip to Boston this season. Just as he hoped, Pierce will now receive 100 percent of the spotlight.
