Dwyane Wade Initiated Questions About Kevin Love's Absence 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Feb 16, 2018 4:40 pm

Dwyane Wade was the first player on the Cavaliers to vocally challenge Tyronn Lue to disclose where Kevin Love had been when he left the arena during a loss to the Thunder on Jan. 20th and the team's practice the following day, according to sources.


Numerous players verbally attacked Love, who eventually explained his absence. In the initial reports, Isaiah Thomas was characterized as leading the charge against Love.


Koby Altman contends Wade wasn't traded because of the team meeting but due to fit.


A team source also said LeBron James possibly felt relief by Cleveland's trade of Wade back to the Heat.

RealGM is going to have to shut down their newsfeed when Lebron retires because there will be no stories to report.

So if it was Wade leading the charge all along, who was it that leaked it was Thomas?

all roads lead to BronInc. Leaks. Leaks. Disinformation "King".

IT attacked in press.
WADE protected as a Bron Mouthpiece.
LOVE spotlighted as the major issue of CLE roster.
LUE being a human shield in the press.

just wait til JC gets the Waiters' treatment.

I know it's a popular theory that LeBron knows about and controls everything related to the Cavs but actual reality is of course there's going to be drama when you put 14 veteran players together, some of them ex stars, all with their inflated egos and hidden agendas.

Anything that comes out of the Cleveland media should always be taken with a huge grain of salt. Always. Windhorst, Lloyd, McMenamin, Hayes. All guys with an agenda and all do Rich Paul's bidding.

Shocking that the white dude got called out on the basketball team.

Yeah, Lebron can't handle playing with guys who have a backbone and think for themselves. Kyrie would have rubbed him the same way...

Cue the flat earther comments even though it is clear as day I was speaking specifically about the basketball side of things. Lebron nut hugger's literally have nothing else to argue in this case.

So did Love win the power struggle against Wade, IT, Rose, Jae, Frye, Shumps?

How dare they call him out

LeBron can't order Wade around like he does his other teammates.

Are you kidding? ESPN will collapse and we will be flooded with stories that were covered up.

This really seems like the last days of the Lebron era. He should enjoy his final season being "the man".
