Rudy Gobert sure can hold a grudge.

When it came to light Tuesday night that Boston Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers as part of the Kyrie Irving blockbuster, Gobert leaped at the opportunity to take a shot at IT.

Their beef stems from early last month, when Gobert tried to convince unrestricted free agent Gordon Hayward to stay with the Jazz using this tweet:

Thomas clapped back and apparently won the battle by successfully recruiting Hayward to the Celtics.

But now that the diminutive All-Star point guard is Cleveland-bound, he won't get to play with Hayward.

Gobert doesn't seem too upset about that.
