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

[Big Boss]

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

Not surprised

Honestly under these circumstances I wouldn't want Kyrie on the Spurs.

If the rumors are true that he wants to be the main focal point, then you have to question if this man understands what a point guard is supposed to do.

Also, you just went to 3 straight NBA finals. And you're upset at your role/usage alongside the best player in the world?

I don't want that player on the Spurs. No matter how talented he may be.

Stop it

Kyrie would be the perfect transition from TP. Period

I see.... but how would the salaries match-up?

Chandler, Bledsoe, and Melo is 50+ mil in payroll

I'm guessing shump or jr smith getting dealt as well to match the contracts

It's funny how everyone is running with the notion that Kyrie wants to be the "man". Where did this come from?

 

[So-Chi]

Why doesn't he just wait until LeBron leaves. He can get as many shots as he wants then.

With a horrible team... No one comes to live in Cleveland if you aren't gift wrapping a ring.

whoever wrote that article deserves a Pulitzer Prize

that journalism

Chandler is completely washed, Bledsoe is an idiot.

He can at least get some rebounds and Kyrie isn't a very smart player imo.

 

[Derek Lee]

Jazz would be a great fit for Kyrie.

Windhorst & Kyrie's agent declining to deny or confirm other than they spoke to Cavs (Dan Gilbert) about the future of the Cavs

Your speaking truth, Kryie's mindset is poisonous right now.

the Suns would have to take a couple Cleveland players

probably Shump and Frye

That's what is being reported along with him requesting the trade lol.

Kyrie' agent need to come get him and tell him to chill. Sure losing in Cleveland sucks, but the Cavs can and likely will supermax him. Just ride out 1 more year with Bron, then in '19 Kyrie can take all the shots and get all the dough after Bron leaves.
