Report: Kyrie Irving wants out of Cleveland ESPN's Stephen A. Smith reported on Monday's First Take that Irving isn't happy in Cleveland: Dating back to last year, I’ve been told that Kyrie Irving ain’t too happy being in Cleveland. The situation is not ideal for him. I don’t know the particulars, I haven’t spoken to him personally. It’s something that I’ve been hearing for months; that under ideal circumstances he would prefer to be someplace other than Cleveland. Kyrie for Paul (IF Clippers flame out again) Love for 'Melo (Some variation of that 3-way rumored deal at the deadline: Love to Boston, 'Melo to Cleveland, stuff to New York) LeBron brings his besties to Cleveland. CP3 J.R. Smith? Carmelo LeBron ???
I know Kyrie's defense sucks, he isn't really proven in the playoffs, etc. But I'd be more concerned about the Clippers than the Cavs in the above scenario for some reason...
If durant leaves and okc doesn't think Westbrook is staying a trade for Irving would be sick for both sides. Irving is locked up for a while I believe.
