I'm not overreacting to say that many of the guys in Foxborough really liked Isaiah Thomas. He was down at camp earlier this summer, and was a favorite of several on the team the last few years, including LeGarrette Blount. (That's Thomas and Blount after the C's game in the picture above.) Thomas and Tom Brady also struck up a legit friendship as well. That's why it was no surprise to see current and former members of the Patriots take to social media Tuesday night to express their feelings about the trade. It was a group that included former New England defensive lineman -- and big-time Celtics fan -- Terrance Knighton.
I love IT but Kyrie a top 10 player. U gotta do it

Thank you @Isaiah_Thomas for what you've done in Boston man! As a fan we still appreciate everything you've done and fought through!
