As you should

Or, and this is crazy, you could read the article which states why Kyrie wants to be traded and learn that it has nothing to do with Gilbert. But a lack of knowledge has never stopped people from forming opinions.

If LeBron told Kyrie he was leaving, then why would Kyrie force his way out of Cleveland to "be the man" elsewhere? He could stay in Cleveland and be the first option.

How much did Lebron pay off Kyrie to do this so he can have another scapegoat to leave us again lol.

Wow, crazy how fast the party ended, this time last year we were on top of the world. Sucks...

They could have got PG or Butler. Now, they likely won't get anything of value for him.

I strongly suspect that the Cavs aren't going to honor his request. At least not before the trade deadline.

I mean I wouldn't either.

Doubt you'd get good value back for him.

I really don't know what's on his mind. The only way this is acceptable is if he knows Lebron is leaving 100%.

But the report states he no longer wants to play with Bron. Like wtf. That to me is completely idiotic.

People constantly take Lebron for granted and they get burned for doing so.

He could get to MVP levels if he's in the right situation... Best case scenario Miami. Second best NY? He would be damn fun to watch in those cities.

I'm sure if Bron committed to staying for the next 3 years, Kyrie would too. You think Kyrie is gonna let Bron leave his ass with an old af roster with horrible contracts? He's only 25. Isn't 26 officially "your prime"? He could get a good year in with Miami or NY developing chemistry with their all-star big men. After a summer of adding pieces since players want to play with Kyrie (surprisingly enough since he's ball-dominant) they could maybe contend in the East honestly once he's 26.

That wouldn't really make any sense because Kyrie reportedly wants to be the focal point and doesn't want to play with Lebron anymore...you must not have read the article

Wow, what a mess. I feel bad for Cavs fans, WTF?? How could their franchise come crashing down so fast....brutal

I wonder exactly is happening behind the scenes because this is a complete mess.

I remember at the start of the off season I wanted to trade him and people were saying I was an idiot and he won us a title. Looks like we should have now. Could have had butle or Bledsoe and PG.

Also poor love. He's been the most loyal and committed guy to the cavs and he's the one always thrown around in trade talks.

Meh Kobe got booed for like one quarter. IT was against teh rockets. I remember that game. It went into OT.

Because Cleveland has been stripped dry of "assets" and is paying guys like Love, TT and JR huge money for another two years. Kyrie can go be the man elsewhere and build to a title quicker than Cleveland can post-LeBron.

He doesn't want to be a on a team stuck in cap hell with on chance of winning a title. He can "be the man" on another team with a better long term chance of winning a title.

He wouldn't want to be the leading man in a post-Bron Cleveland. Which is why this "I don't want to play with Bron anymore" line is bull. Kyrie would stay if Lebron committed to 3 more years. But it's obvious Kyrie sees the writing on the wall, and doesn't want to be left over with the Cavs **** roster.
