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

[Professor Emeritus]

I can understand if a player leaves his team for more money or leaves for more winning but Kyrie is already in a situation where he gets both. Automatic trips to the finals and Cavs can offer him a super max in the future. The fact that he wants a trade in the middle of his contract is alarming. Something must really be going on behind the scenes.

Some people say he's worried about Lebron leaving. Other people are saying he just wants to get away from Lebron's shadow. No matter what the real reason is, any team trading for him should be careful and not give up too much. He can leave in 2 years and he's shown that money and winning isn't enough to keep him.

I wouldn't read too much into Kyrie in all this because it's Cleveland.

Kyrie can have money in Cleveland, but he's only getting one more trip to the Finals (already has three of those) and he ain't winning after that. He's very likely not getting a ring next year. His team just fired its management, and didn't even hire anyone else, and the owner is an ass. And it's Cleveland.

There are more than enough reasons for him to leave.

He not part of LeBron inner circle, that's the obvious reason. fakkit ass Kyrie never been on the banana boat and NEVER will be. LeBron showed up and completely took the team over, Kyrie ego can't take it. LeBron ain't even leaving vacation to come convince Kyrie to stay, he like BYE

Off the top of my head.Kyrie still elite and you can make a case for him against a couple guys on the list. He's in the 15-20 range.

Aight man, y'all got it.

I'd say take lillard off, but besides that pretty much,

This kyrie story aint adding up tho, something else going on

Dudes talking bout he gets no credit and in lebron's shadow, yet he got a nike commercial for the game winning shot and is on the cover of 2k18, shyt makes no sense

Bron might of told him he leaving

That is Cleveland argument is dumb as fukk. He signed an extension when he thought it was going to be his team and city before Bron decided to come back. And the city has only gotten better since then.

Aight man, y'all got it.

Instead of using smilies highlight who he's better then.

A guy who isn't happy going to 3 straight finals and wants a more prominent role is not someone I want on a team with a clear #1 like Kawhi Leonard.

Belichick in football and Pop in the NBA have built winners based on avoiding egos.

Frankly I'd like to keep it that way.

this post contains zero reason. bron stans are trying to paint kyrie as a selfish player and a team killer.

we know why he wants to leave. and it has nothing to do with being "the man". the orginization is unstable as fukk. kyrie is a winner. lebron would not have won against the warriors without Kyrie.

Bron aint telling nobody anything, which is part of the problem

The only people on that list that you can argue is better are lillard and blake

And you got nikkas in here acting like its an insult to say he's a top 15-20 player They hate Bron so much they want to overrate kyrie. Nobody is acting like Bron did it by himself. He needed kyrie just like kyrie needed him.

Just LeBron haters spewing dumb shyt ...Kyrie is loved in Cleveland and people talked about his shot over curry so much it turned into an NBA meme...LeBron haters just wanted Kyrie to be praised more than Bron to undermine the work he put in to win that chip.

Which is why I don't blame kyrie for trying to escape. He's gotta look out for himself just like Bron and Gilbert are.

STFU dawg, what the Cavs being trash got to do with the "franchise" player?
And obviously he would have routed after 7+ yrs of being a Gunner on a trash Eastern conf team. Routed to go be a Robin on somebody else team. If that's a good career to you then so be it. Bottom line is he was seeing no deep playoffs runs as an alpha stupid muhfukker

Wtf are you taking bout? If you're telling me you can tell a NBA players career path at age 19, then you should be the most sought after person to team owners, on earth.

I thought it was because he was going up against the prime Duncan-Parker-Ginobli-Pops Spurs when his 2nd-best player was Boobie Gibson.

But either way, how you comparing getting bounced in the Finals to needing a telescope to see .500?

Exactly the response I knew I would get
If Lebron is such a great player and he makes everyone better, then there should absolutely be no excuses for him during that finals..
But somehow nikkas always glaze over the shyt he does to his team..
He literally quit because of a rumor..
Every year it's some new passive aggressive subplot, throwing his team under the bus, standing back like he doesn't contribute to the team chemistry problem..
Dude doesn't give people notice he is leaving, throws temper tantrums...
Look how he yelled at Uncle Drew this season and almost caught that fade with Mr. Kardashian..
I know I will never get through to a Lebron apologist because no matter how much evidence you bring up on him, it's always the teammates and not him, or it's the coaching, or its blah-blah-blah..
If he is such the goat, why does one of the most prolific pgs in the game right now want to leave..
shyt doesn't make sense..
Even as a Warrior fan, I can admit Lebron is great and will be missed when he is gone, but his past(on court behavior), the shyt he does to his teammates(now he does look out for his people to get paid)..
Something is in the water and people need to start questioning that..

The fact that Embiid is on that list, tells me all I need to know.
