per RealGM The Cleveland Cavaliers held a players-only meeting after a 29-point loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday, and players got contentious and confronted each other, according to multiple sources. The Cavaliers also lost to the Charlotte Bobcats at home on Friday. In a loss at the Chicago Bulls on Monday, Mike Brown and Kyrie Irving got into an exchange on the bench after Brown pulled Irving from the game. Irving is struggling, shooting just 38 percent from the field and 32 percent from 3-point range. He was just 5-of-16 shooting in the loss to the Bobcats. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Can anyone in the league pull a "James Harden-like" trade again if Cavs are under-achieving again this year?? Can Rockets pull a Anthony Bennett out of Cavs roster?
Kyrie has always said he didn't want to be on a losing team, even before this season. I know he would be a restricted Free Agent. But if he is demanding a trade, nobody can stop him. BTW I am really interested in Anthony Bennett. Has potential and can stretch the floor
i'm sure all they'll want is asik. plus they won't lose all of their fans forever if they trade kyrie after losing lebron. /sarcasm kyrie will be given a qualifying offer making him restricted, they will match any max offer, he will be under contract with them for 5 years after his rookie contract. they won't move him for anything anytime soon. even if he asks for a trade, they'd just get rid of whoever was bothering him. the coach would be fired, every other player on the team would be traded. the gm would be fired. the logo and team colors would change if it helped keeping him.
I wouold warmly recommend to the Rockets never to go after Kyrie Irving. He is a guy who can play only by himself. Even in tonights win at the OT when he scored 41 points, only three other Cavs were in double digits. And, correctly, the Cavs will never let Irving go until his time for "decision" comes. It will come, because his selfish play will keep Cleveland in the lottery until that day. The team already has a plethora of high first round picks (two 1st and two 4th) and it just doesn't help in any way. The only thing that may change something in Cleveland concerning Irving is the potential lucky strike of getting Wiggins, Randle or Parker. Maybe that would wake him up.
if it takes 41pts from 1 player for your team to win only by 2 possessions and your team is still under 500. youre doing it wrong
