After weeks of rumors and speculation, Kyrie Irving was finally traded on Tuesday night, as the Cleveland Cavaliers sent him to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and the Brooklyn Nets' 2018 first-round pick.

There's really just no explanation for people burning Thomas' jersey, as he was traded away from Boston in a deal he had no control over. Regardless, burning jerseys is, always has been and always will be extremely silly.
