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

[Primetime21]

SAS broke him down like algebra

Courtesy of tweets and Instagram posts rife with innuendo yet always short on details, perhaps the one thing that interests James more than winning titles is controlling narratives.

Think about it:

When the Cavs win, it’s because James is leading.

When they’re struggling, it’s James who says he needs help.

Team unity issues? Let’s take a picture. But not you, Kevin Love.

Mistakes in a game? It’s Tristan Thompson … not me, says James, with his public histrionics. Until Thompson steps right back to him publicly, that is.

Lose in the Finals? Walk off the court draped with a look of resignation, only to post a video of you working hard in the gym just days later on social media — on the very day the Golden State Warriors have scheduled their championship parade.

That bolded part about always wanting more help annoyed us fans. Hell even some Cav fans. So I can imagine how Kyrie and some of the others felt. Bron was acting like they just didn't win. The leader of the team should not speak like that publicly imo

Lowkey Lebron is 2 missed three pointers away from being 1-7 in the Finals

Facts

And Kobe will never win a ring without Shaquille O'Neal.

Westbrook will never be MVP.

A jump shooting team will never win a title.

The Lakers are gonna demolish the Pistons.

Michael Jordan will never surpass Bird & Magic.

You went way off course here, but I'll stick what's in bold. Kyrie is not the player Kobe is, so stop kidding yourself. Also, he doesn't have enough dimensions to his overall game on both ends to impact team success as other NBA superstars.

I'll trade the shyt out of Faulks hell I'll give up Ben. Which ever one they want

Kyrie won't work in Philly .

Who's your leader? They still wouldn't make the offs

Without the presence of Lebron, Kyrie would have been just another great pg on a mediocre team.

Are we sure Kyrie's proven yet the he can even make a team mediocre as the best player?

 

[BStapies]

What about not wanting to play with LeBron is flawed?

No matter what Kyrie does the media will give all the credit to LeBron. Kyrie made the smart decision to bounce and be in control of his own legacy.

That isn't true at all. Kyrie gets way more media coverage than Lillard and Wall despite being worse than both.

Him playing with Bron has boosted his status to superstar level. If Lebron never came back he would be in infamy leading the Cavs to 35 win seasons

Article was laden with facts. He is a narrative spinner, he is a master manipulator and as a man with pride you're not about to let another nikka try to son you and play big brother all the time when you don't need it. Especially if you feel like you are great at what you do already. I don't see the problem. Plus he got his ring, if he doesn't get another one elsewhere then it is what it is. But he's not gonna stay under this mans shadow forever.

If Embid play 65 games and kyrie play 75 games easily a playoff team. Indiana & Chicago gone. By default they should make it

You gotta stop caring about what these tv folks say or publish so much @Big Boss

 

[Pure Water]

Curry getting into Kyrie head. Don't even ask me how.

Damn sas went hard. Some truth to the Lebron whining, role players might be cool with it but not stars like Irving.
