The situation I am referring to, for the unaware, is the recent news that Kyrie Irving has requested a trade from the team, reportedly unhappy to be tied to a franchise effectively beholden to whatever LeBron decides to do when his contract is up. This, however, may not be the sole factor at play, with owner Dan Gilbert repeatedly intervening to prevent his then-General Manager David Griffin from making trades to keep the Cavs in contention, then firing him once much of the prime action of free agency - and all open GM positions - were exhausted.
LeBron James will NOT waive his no-trade clause for the Cavs
