question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Isaiah Thomas ( ? Isaiah Thomas  lasted just 15 games on LeBron James’ team. And now Cleveland has undergone a massive roster overhaul  unloading six players in different deals.

Despite all the upheaval  it was the  Thomas  trade that headlined the Cavs’ moves. Cleveland landed  Thomas  in a shock trade with the Celtics in August after Kyrie Irving said he was tired of playing in LeBron’s shadow. The Cavs pulled off the trade despite knowing that Thomas’ hip injury would sideline him for a good chunk of the season.
In his brief run with the Cavs   Thomas  averaged 14.7 points and 4.5 assists in 14 starts. Cleveland went just 7-8 with  Thomas  in the lineup.
“ He ’s worked too hard to get back  and  he ’s a ball dominant player ” Thomas’ agent  Aaron Goodwin  told ESPN. “It’s LeBron’s ball  and this clearly wasn’t working. (Cavs GM) Koby (Altman) and I have had enough conversations where it was clear  with the way the system was going  it wasn’t beneficial for either party. This is a good opportunity for Isaiah.”
The Thomas trade also ends the awkwardness of a return trip to Boston this weekend. The Celtics had initially planned a tribute video to Thomas’ three seasons in Boston on the same night Paul Pierce was going to have his jersey retirement ceremony. After Pierce grumbled about having to share the stage with  Thomas   the 5-9 guard took the high road.
“I’d like to thank the Celtics for their gracious offer to play a video tribute on Feb 11th celebrating my 3yrs in Boston ”  Thomas  tweeted in January. “But since it appears this has caused some controversy w/Paul Pierce’s night I’d ask the Celtics instead to focus all of their attention on #34’s career.”
It’s pretty clear  Thomas —  who as recently as Wednesday night was saying  he  was “tired of being traded” — will not be receiving a tribute video for  his  15 games with the Cavaliers if  he  returns to play in Cleveland at some point this season or next.
answer:
Positive


question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kim ? The impetus for the talks came in  Kim âs annual New Yearâs speech on January 1  when  he  proposed direct discussions with Seoul âover the issue of improving inter-Korean relations by our nation itself â with the goal to âdefuse the current military tension.â  Kim  also welcomed the upcoming Winter Olympics as a âgood occasion for demonstrating our nationâs prestige â and said  he  wanted to send a delegation.
But while the bilateral talks were widely praised in South Koreaâs media  the US media seemed like a deer caught in the headlights from the first announcement of the breakthrough. Unclear how to respond to a possible outbreak of peace  the press immediately zeroed in on the section of Kimâs New Yearâs speech where he declared that his ânuclear forces are capable of thwarting and counteringâ anything from the United States.  Kim  also reminded Washington that the ânuclear buttonâ is on  his  office desk âall the time.â
Although the Supreme Leader left out some of the harsh anti-US language heâs used in previous declarations  the implied threat became the story for nearly every US media outlet covering his New Yearâs speech. At CNN  for example  reporter Brian Todd went on the air to warn Wolf Blitzer that the prospect of talks was dangerous because it could mask a North Korean military attack during the Olympics. In some broadcasts  Kimâs offer to talk  and Moonâs quick endorsement  were barely mentioned.
 Kim âs reference to  his  nuclear arsenal also drew a typical response from President Trump.  He  took to Twitter to declare that  he   too  had a âbutton â but it was âmuch bigger & more powerfulâ than Kimâs.  His  childish taunt quickly led to speculation about  his  state of mind and fitness to be president  a topic that dominated the White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sandersâs first media briefing of the year.
Asked at a press briefing at Camp David about the potential for negotiations with Kim  he replied: âSure  I always believe in talking.â¦ absolutely I would do that.â Trump âappeared to be strongly indicating that he would join talks with North Korea after the high-level inter-Korean talks  if the conditions are right â South Koreaâs liberal Hankyoreh concluded.
In the lead-up to the talks in Seoul  the mood was close to jubilant. âHopes are high that inter-Korean relations will improve â Hankyoreh reported on January 4. âSince  Kim  delivered  his  New Yearâs address on Jan. 1  North Koreaâs actions have been completely aligned with the Southâs response.â
The pace was set early on by The New York Times  in a front-page story on January 1 posted literally hours after  Kimâs New Yearâs speech .  It  instantly became the leitmotif for media coverage throughout the week.
Behind Kimâs New Yearâs declaration âlies a canny new strategy to initiate direct talks with South Korea in the hope of driving a wedge into its seven-decade alliance with the United States â reported Choe Sang-Hun and David Sanger  the latter a recipient of dozens of US intelligence leaks about North Korea over the years.
In the Choe-Sanger article  the Times cited Robert Litwakâa senior vice president at the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars who is well-known in Japan and Korea for his hard-right views on security issuesâto back its claim that Kim is seeking to âtake the side of the South Koreans  against President Trump.â He was then given a large block of space on the Timesâs January 3 op-ed page to spell out his grave concerns for the wayward South Koreans.
âWashington and Seoul should not take Mr. Kimâs bait â Litwak argued. âInstead  the North Korean offer should be put to the diplomatic test through a united Washington-Seoul front.â
Yet despite the clear signals of disapproval from US hard-liners   the Moon and Kim governments pressed on   saying  they  would soon embark on âworking-levelâ talks to discuss the details of the Northâs participation in the Olympics  the family visits  and âsolve bilateral issues among  themselves  without relying on outsideâ forces  according to the Joongang Daily.
