    Since I'm a connoisseur of how well Fake News strategies work, I can't resist posting these three tweets by Schultz that @The Cat shared with us.

    lulz...Shultz has replaced Alex Kennedy as the new king of twitter hacks, right now. But, must admit, it is amazing how well Fake News strategies work to get ppl to follow and share, though.



    This one was posted on the DAY OF the Butler trade....whoops

    Not a winner? He literally SAVED the team when Lebron went missing in game 7 vs GS the year before last. Hes the team's closer & clutch performer

    One theory is that Kyrie is not tired of playing LeBron on court, but rather tired of living with LeBron's whims as far as his "decisions" go and doesn't want to go through a year of "will he stay" drama, get blamed if they don't win the title, and get left behind if/when LeBron leaves.

    LeBron is entitled to make his own decision like every upcoming free agent, but that doesn't mean it is enjoyable for Kyrie to live through it.

    Kyrie for Wiggins is what the Cavs should go for. Get a young star player in return.

    That's why Kyrie Irving won finals MVP in the 2016 finals.
    And that's why Ray Allen won finals MVP in the 2013 finals.

    :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Kyrie is clutch, but he doesn't get to be clutch when they are down 30 by the end of the game because LeBron is not on the team.

    Not an Amin fan, but I pretty much agree with his take here.

    This is the worst possible timing for the Cavs. If Kyrie came out with this 2 months ago, the Cavs would have had a lot of different options, including a PG/Kyrie swap. Now that the chips have fallen, the Cavs are stuck without a way out.

    There is talk now that Kyrie went to the Cavs about this before the draft. Let's see if it ends up being credible.

    LOL. Cleveland people are stupid, can't spell "traitor."

    "KYRIE IS A TRADER!!!!"

    LOL> No wonder he wants to leave Cleveland

    Woj: Why Kyrie Irving's trade request isn't a betrayal of LeBron James

    With James refusing to commit to Cleveland beyond the coming season, with the growing verdict that James is intrigued with pursuing a Los Angeles Lakers exit plan, Irving has become proactive in controlling his own career arc.

    ...

    For now, Irving knows what's coming in the public arena, and it won't be pleasant. Perhaps James is unhappy with him, but better than anyone alive, he should understand: Irving isn't waiting on a tomorrow to be dictated to him; he's taking control himself.

    The power belongs to the players now, a lasting legacy of LeBron James.    ​
