Over the past few days, buzz has developed about Cavs’ Kyrie Irving wanting a trade.
Kyrie Irving requested a trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers nearly two weeks ago, going to management about no longer wanting to play alongside LeBron James. Irving’s trade request became public knowledge, however, on Friday. And ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith cited sources close to Irving’s camp who believe LeBron himself leaked his teammate’s trade request to the media. (SB Nation)
