Videos: Was IT's attitude behind the Cavs' recent moves?

Few examples of a harder, more painful fall from glory can be pointed to in NBA lore than that of Isaiah Thomas.

Watch the videos above and below to hear some informed opinions om these issues, and let us know if you're buying it in the comments.
