Every time you think that the NBA offseason hits a lull, a story breaks that sends people into a frenzy. Four top-20 players have already changed teams. Another is now voicing his unhappiness. With rumors that LeBron James might depart from Cleveland next summer, ESPN is reporting that Cavs star point guard Kyrie Irving has requested a trade. Reportedly, the 25-year-old all-star is tired of play alongside James and wants to be the focal point for his own team.
Irving is a rare offensive talent and a player of his ilk is seldom put on the trade block.
