Kyrie Irving demanded a trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers last month, as he wants to be the franchise player and the focal point somewhere else and play away from LeBron’s shadow, but until now the Cavaliers have not made a move. LeBron James is still blindsided and frustrated with the news, posting different tweets about the trade scenarios on Twitter. The Cavaliers, however, have not found the perfect scenario to trade for Kyrie and so he might remain a Cavalier this season. How will he and LeBron co-exist in the same team after the trade scenarios this summer? Will they solve their differences, still be a dynamic duo and reach the NBA Finals once again?
As we all know, LeBron will not waive his no-trade clause and so his future will be decided in next year’s free agency. Sources close to the superstar claim that he will make the decision after the end of next season. This is really interesting and exciting for the other potential spots for LeBron James that include the Spurs, the Lakers, the Clippers and other teams around the league, who have shown interest in signing LeBron James. According to multiple reports, the Cavs’ main objective is to make LeBron happy, but will not rush to trade for Kyrie, as they want to receive ‘a king’s ransom’ for the 25-year old point guard that will make James happy, and will keep him in a Cavalier uniform after next season.
If the Cavaliers cannot find the package for him and do not trade Kyrie Irving to another team, they will have to solve the players’ differences inside the locker room, during the training camp and the pre-season. But because they are professionals, both Kyrie and LeBron will solve their differences on and off the court and be one of the most lethal NBA duos for yet another NBA season, reaching the Finals for the fourth straight year. The Cavaliers front office will have to focus however on the next year’s free agency as both Kyrie Irving and LeBron James could possibly want to leave the team, especially if they lose to the Warriors in the 2018 Finals for the third time in four years. So, if he does not get traded, Kyrie Irving will remain a professional, solve his differences with LeBron and respect the situation he’s in.
Finally, can this situation, drama in Cleveland be compared to the Lakers drama with Shaq and Kobe, or is this situation different? What will happen in Cleveland? Will Kyrie Irving get traded before the start of the 2017-2018 NBA season? What would you do if you were Cleveland?
