According to my sources, they believe LeBron James had everything to do with news getting out that Kyrie Irving wants to be traded, because Kyrie Irving and his representation and others met with the Cavaliers a couple weeks ago, and not a word got out until recently,” Smith said on Sportscenter.

“They believe that LeBron James got word of it, and was put off by it, and leaked it. I’m not going to accuse LeBron of such a thing, I don’t know that to be true at all, but I know that’s what Kyrie Irving believes. The mere fact that he has that question, says it’s time to move.”



Who else is not surprised ?

I gained a lot of respect for him following his continued success upon departing from CLE but at this point, I am losing a lot of respect for him. Especially if he does end up leaving CLE again.


considering it was lebrons butt buddy windhorst who broke the story, it is very plausible the leak came from lebrons camp.

Lebron is the softest top 15 player of all time, FACT.

He leaks Kyrie's trade talks from LAST MONTH to Windhorst recently.

Then releases a **** diss video taking a shot at Kyrie.

Top 10 players dont do that ****, Bron's legacy taking another L.

I think it was a great thing to do (leak it)...let everyone know what a jerk Kyrie is...demanding a trade with 2 years left on his contract either cuz he is not the man in Cleveland or he will be blamed for the Cavs stinking if Lebron leaves next summer. You don't think you would be upset...after being to 3 straight finals with 1 championship, a player demands to be traded because he can't play with you, and basically can't stand SUCCESS. The hate for Lebron is unbelievable. I admit it he is an arrogant spoiled brat, but what is Kyrie with a lot worse resume???!!

Besides, I am sure Lebron wanted to be sure that everyone knew about Kyrie cuz he wants Rose to sign (since he will start now), and significant offers to come in for Kyrie. Plus, the last thing he wants is for Kyrie NOT to be traded now, and I don't blame him. I wouldn't want to play with him.

This is 100% LeBron. Bron has been dangling Love for years. Since that hasn't worked, he is pushing Irving out so he can have that big change up in his mind large enough for him to contend next year.

The amount of mental damage LeBron has inflicted on Kobe fans is a sight to behold :lol:. There's no player they aren't wiling to support, no argument they aren't willing to take if they believe it will lead to shots against LeBron. They will simply never get over LeBron surpassing their GOD.

Well, you're right about that. Kobe was demanding to be traded AND dissing a teammate on camera. Kyrie and LeBron combined.

Absolutely. Lebron leaking this is just a rumour. Kobe blasting Bynum went viral

Wut.

The video you posted about Kobe was someone asking him what he thought about Bynum, a young player who didnt care to play basketball. This was also following a season where another year of Kobe's prime was wasted (Lebron never had this problem because he constantly leaves teams).

Lebron leaked Kyrie's trade request one month after it happens AND THEN posts a beta diss video on Instagram.

No. Plenty of people think Kobe is better and as of now he has had a better career. That's a fact.

I think he's called LeBron's bluff. If LeBron commits to Cleveland, I suspect Kyrie would do so also.

What is the benefit of leaking this from LBJ's perspective - reduces the value you get back in a deal and reduces your chances at a chip. Seems like some PR damage control / spin.

Also the Kobe crew needs to relax, man the hate is strong.
