The basketball world has been waiting for LeBron James to speak on the Kyrie Irving diss. Irving, who basically told the world he despised playing with King James by requesting a trade, ended up on the Celtics. Last night Irving was basically swapped for Isaiah Thomas and Jae Crowder, leaving LeBron with some new pieces.

Yikes. Even swap you ask me
Evan Turner felt like the Celtics did Isiah Thomas dirty, considering how he sacrificed for the organization and was the main reason that they won the Eastern regular season title over Cleveland.
