This is the media creating a rift between 2 players, for no reason other than to get more clicks. Nobody has said that he has said he 'no longer wants to play alongside LeBron James. 'sources said' is the new way for writers to get away with outlandish statements.

This is not journalism, this is sensationalism.

Sure, maybe he does want to be the focal point. But he's never come across, ever, as this alpha male I have to be the leader type. Also, he knows LeBron James is his biggest chance - aside from joining the Warriors - of reaching the NBA Finals.

They know fans will go crazy for this and will share it and this will get them more clicks, but you can't really call this journalism.

Unless it comes from Woj. Then this is a cot damn fact.

Why didn't his agent or him just come out and say it's a lie if it's all made up? His agent saying he's keeping the conversation private is very telling.

This has to have been the most turbulent off-season ever.

When you think about it it makes sense. I don't know about all this "the man" or "larger role" stuff, especially when you consider he wants to go to the Spurs where 26/27 year old Kawhi is the best player and Pop is the alpha and he expects you to fit in not out . But it is only right that the one running mate that wasn't content riding Bron's coattails would be proactive and refuse to end up in limbo wondering what Bron was gonna do in a year.

WOJ on Sportscenter, a big reason was because Lebron didn't commit longer and Kyrie didn't want to risk that

Anyone with common sense could figure out this was a main reason.

People gonna be theorizing about fake beefs and writing about how Kyrie and Bron hated each other and all that shyt but it's as simple as not wanting your career tied to another superstar who is probably 98% out the door after this season

Weren't there reports from a few years back that Kyrie wasn't really feeling playing with Lebron?

And it's not just the on the court issues, but the way the media treats Kyrie is kind a fukked up sometimes. Remember that one reporter asking Kyrie if he saw Lebron as a father figure?

Okay...we have a winner

If the Cavs trade Kyrie to the Knicks, they better ask for multiple unprotected 1sts. Kyrie in MSG is still a lotto team for the next year or two, so this new Cavs GM can pull off a KG/PP trade 2.0

Why is the cavs record so bad when Bron doesn't play ? They haven't even won 1/4th of the games he sits.

I love Kyrie but like I said out of scoring, defending, and playmaking, he only does one. To truly impact the game you must do two of three. Name a true number 1 that only doesn't do more than scoring.
