The biggest offseason trade of 2017 (so far) hadn’t even been announced yet, free agency was still four days away, and Isaiah Thomas had already launched a fresh social media blitz.
Yesterday’s trade of Chris Paul to Houston for a chorus line of role players and a 2018 first-round draft pick turned the Celtics guard’s thoughts immediately to another Clippers free agent and secondary Celtics target — power forward Blake Griffin.
Thomas went on Instagram to post the following caption next to a group photo of the now-former Clippers big three — Paul, Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.
