Well he knows LeBron is gone and will leave him to rot with Kevin Love probably.

I dont see it happening.

A new report next week is gonna claim Lebron talked to Kyrie face-to-face and took care of everything and they're back on the same page

This idiot had a bigger role before Lebron arrived and he sucked at it. The **** he wants to go out for now?

Wow!!!!

He has a non-trade clause, so that won't be happening unless it's to a team like Houston where he can play with Chris Paul.

It makes sense for Lebron to approve a trade to a place he wants. Unless he wants to play in Philly there are very few teams that can carve out his max cap space next summer AND field a team he's going to want to play on.

It never seemed like Kyrie placed much emphasis on winning. He still doesn't make his teammates better and never figured out how to defend. He probably wants to gun for a scoring title on a first round playoff team.

Windhorst is never wrong about the Cavs btw. One of the time where I don't need to hear it from Woj to believe it.

oddly. if you read the story its the exact opposite of what you're implying.

You think Kyrie requesting a trade is going to help keep LeBron around?

They really did. Team Lebron has an easy ride to the finals every year yet they know they have no shot to beat the warriors and it is causing all sorts of turmoil.

Yes, because Gilbert and Kyrie had so much success together before LeBron returned to Cleveland. They were Spurs East, one of the league's model franchises. Damn that LeBron, screwing up such a track record of consistent winning! :crazy:

What we're seeing now is that LeBron's return didn't turn Gilbert into a competent owner or Kyrie into a team-first player. They were just on their best behavior for a couple years and have reverted back to form at the first sign of adversity. That's not LeBron's fault.
