Kyrie Irving has asked the Cavs to trade him; Lebron blindsided by trade request

[Lakerman0834]

He owes the fans EVERYTHING

And the front office obviously doesn't know where he stands. Hence the attempts to try to figure out by contacting him.

The fans owe him everything. He brought a ring to their trash city and now he wants to leave and be his own man. Hes also helping them by telling them to trade him instead of being a hoe and leaving them with nothing when he decides to leave

Never said anything about him being perfect. And never called Kyrie crazy.

As far as basketball reasons the move makes no sense. That has nothing to do with being a fan of bron, it's just reality. Chauncey Billups said the same thing.

Now if he has an irreconcilable personal differences with somebody in management or on the squad, then he has to do what makes him happy.

It's just that from a basketball standpoint, the move does not make sense.

Then the way he's going about it by hiding and not giving any statements reflects poorly on him.



Nobody said he's above criticism.

What I said is that we don't even have a statement from Kyrie, yet y'all running with the same hating ass naratives I read on here all the time(that interestingly have NEVER been echoed by a teammate of his) and claiming that's how Kyrie feels. It could be a multitude of reasons why he wants to leave. Maybe he didn't like how things happened with David griffin. Maybe he's had some requests/problems with management that they have not addressed. Maybe he just wants a change of scenery. Y'all ignoring all those possibilities and claiming it's unequivocally brons fault for being a "diva" is why I called you a hater

It makes all the sense in the world from a basketball POV. Who doesn't know LeBron is leaving Cleveland after next year by now? Kyrie can see it coming and isn't trying to be stuck on a geriatric squad that's not built around his skillset. He's taking control of his own career instead of being held hostage by LeBron like the rest of Cleveland

Of course you adjust to the best player in the league.

He's the best player and champion, what was Kyrie ? Should Michael Jordan adjust his game ? Shaq?

It's not about it being the only way Lebron knows how to play, it's about giving yourself the best chance to win. The best way to do that is to maximize the strengths of the most dominant player.

Y'all dudes are slow I swear.

But that's all the Cleveland system is built for........TO ONLY MAXIMIZE LEBRON.

It's the reason that team goes to shyt whenever Lebron sits on the bench, it's not because Kyrie and Love are that bad.

The Lebron system works, I'm not gonna deny that, but man it can be hard on all star players who choose to play in it. Brons unwillingness to move without the ball makes his style of play very predictable.

I can understand completely why a player like Kyrie is tired of that shyt

fukk kinda shyt is this. The fans fund his paycheck and have been his advocates through his struggles.

Fans did nothing but defend dude, even when he didn't deserve it.

He owes the fans a statement at least.

And he's currently not speaking with the cavs front office or his teammates. That's hoe shyt, and doesn't help the cavs move him if that's what he truly wants.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

He's being "direct and straightforward" by dodging calls and not speaking to the fans/media????

Breh

It's like if a bytch tells you "Go die and eat shyt. Never call this number again. You cheated. fukk you. It's over. Period."
And Then youre over at your house calling and calling. She's ignoring all your phone calls , then you complain to someone that she's not being direct

Naw the hoe shyt was them leaking he wants to b traded. He was man enough to go speak to them face to face and ask for a trade then they ran and leaked it. So the FO fukked this up beyond repair

The narratives y'all swirling around don't make sense.

If he doesn't want to play with Lebron anymore AND he's convinced bron is leaving, then requesting a trade immediately makes no sense. It's not like there's some ready built team out there just waiting for Kyrie to come lead them. Anywhere he goes is gonna have to rebuild, same as the cavs would if he stayed after Lebron left.

He's only hurting himself here from a basketball standpoint. Wherever he goes is gonna have to give up all their talent to get him. He's gonna be back a square one. At least the cavs front office has shown they don't have a problem spending cash and the fans have had his back from day one.

Basketball doesn't work like that.

At least your analogy should be marriage. In which case you'd still have to talk to her, go to court, etc in order to get it done.

Just saying I hate you and walking out without tying up loose ends is what a coward what do.

Nah they had to. Otherwise the fans would have trashed them for trading away a beloved player.

He wanted to get out without taking the PR hit.

Maximizing Lebron IS maximizing the team. He can put up 40 points and still get everyone else shots. No one else on the team, hell no one in the league really does what he does. Why the hell would Lebron play off the ball for a guy who can't distribute? It doesn't make any sense and sets the team up for failure. What are you even b!tching about ?

no its not.. it goes to shyt because the PG doesnt know how to properly run plays.. cuz then.. why didnt it go to shyt when DELLAVEDOVA was running plays

That analogy doesn't work because players get traded all the time without prior warning or knowledge that they're even in trade discussions. In marriage you don't get calls from your boy talking about they saw on twitter you just got divorced.

Hey, i said the analogy was fukked in the first place. But a person could file for divorce and the spouse find out through a letter or a lawyer. In which case they'd still have to communicate with someone to get it done.

Reality is, for his own good he needs to come out of hiding. Whatever he wants, he won't get it by hiding from everyone.

 

[Makavalli]

Lol it's really all about LeBron. They mad KD went and out Bronned Bron making it harder for bron to win.

Now they mad at Kyrie for pulling a reverse LeBron. Calling it selfish because once again it makes it harder for LeBron to win .

Thats the only comment thread in both scenerios. At least I can be honest. Thought KDs move was hoeish but it led to a LeBron L and it was a product of LeBron's movement so cook KD.

This Kyrie move tho is straight worthy. It's commendable and if more players had the mentality to go out and prove themselves the league would be a better product. Plus it fukks up LeBron even more . Kyrie doing the Lord's work out here forreal

Lol word up like bron didnt leave twice on some sneak shyt. Kyrie did the opposite and at least give the front office chance to pick their poison. If bron wants another ring he will need to learn to play off the ball like spo wanted him to do in miami. He aint quick enough to guard elite SFs but he is strong enough to challenge PFs for spot minutes.

They beat GSW the 2nd time cause he was forced to play center to counter their death line up but with KD this year that shyt was moot because KLove can only guard a bag of dycks

Kyrie should do like Bron, have another meeting with management and watch a soccer game during it
