Lob City has fallen, and Isaiah Thomas thinks the Boston Celtics should help pick up the pieces. He hopped into the comment section to say he’s in favor of his team acquiring one of the biggest free agent targets of the NBA offseason on Wednesday.
Never afraid to expose himself, Thomas commented on an Instagram post talking about the big trade that sent Chris Paul to the Houston Rockets. The move all but guarantees that Blake Griffin will head elsewhere in free agency in July, and Thomas hopes he’s interested in joining the Celtics.
Kevin O’Connor spotted the comment on Slam’s Instagram page where Thomas very clearly made a plea for Griffin to join him in Boston.

Here’s a closer look at that post, in case you’re skeptical.
There’s an “lol” in there, but it’s certainly not bad idea for the Celtics nor Griffin himself. Even with Patrick Beverly on the roster, the Clippers will be rebuilding. And Boston has been active this summer in trying to retool. If they can’t land Paul George, it’s almost certain they will make a run at Griffin in free agency.
Now it’s just a matter of whether Griffin is scrolling Instagram, I suppose.
