Almost from the moment he was traded away to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the deal that brought point guard Kyrie Irving to the Boston Celtics, fans of “the Little Guy” — as beloved Celtics broadcaster Tommy Heinsohn called floor general Isaiah Thomas — have been pushing for a reunion between IT and Boston.

Speaking to the media at a recent press conference, the Washington native opened up about that eternally missed connection between himself, his former team, and a fanbase who still loves him greatly.
