Why Kyrie Irving requesting a trade isn’t terrible news

In the biggest bit of news in the sporting world today, Kyrie Irving requested a trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers in a meeting last week, reports ESPN’s Brian Windhorst.

But it’s okay.

Don’t worry Cavs fans, for the haul the team would get back for Irving is greater than what he may offer the team by himself. Sure, he hit one of the greatest shots in the NBA Finals.

But has he done much more than score? Irving is a one-dimensional isolation player who needs the ball in his hands to succeed; there is also another ball dominant player on the Cavaliers roster, his name is LeBron James.
