A report has recently come out, via ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, that Kyrie Irving, an integral part of Cleveland Cavaliers’ Big 3, has gone to the Cavs front office and demanded to be traded. It’s stated that he no longer wants to play alongside teammate LeBron James but wants to be the focal part of a team.
Irving was drafted number 1 overall by the Cavaliers in 2011, after the Cavs disastrous first season without the 2003 number 1 overall pick, LeBron James. Kyrie was the focal point of the Cavs for 4 seasons, winning 2011-2012 Rookie of the Year award, and 2014 All-Star game MVP, though the team failed to make the playoffs during his solo leader tenure.
