Since as early as March, Cavs’ superstar LeBron James has reportedly been shopping all-star PG Kyrie Irving around the league actively, per source. This is the leading indicator to why Irving requested a trade out of Cleveland.

Although not 100% clear, this is one of the leading reasons David Griffin stepped did not return as the Cavs’ acting GM in June, likely having a different philosophy in regards to keeping Kyrie no matter what, compared to Dan Gilbert and LeBron James.
Needless to say, with this reportedly being true, as well as LeBron’s camp likely leaking Irving’s trade request to the media, it’s obvious he and LeBron are on bad terms.
Irving’s close friend also posted this on his Instagram story 6 days ago, so maybe this is what he was referring to:
Whatever the case may be, it appears as if Uncle Drew’s days are numbered in Cleveland, and with LeBron actively shopping him, it appears The King might be around for more.
Perhaps it’s the fact that Irving struggles to lead a James-tailored team whenever he is off the court. Perhaps it is personal differences or other reasons. But what we know is this pair has an icy relationship right now.
Oh, and Steph Curry is absolutely loving it (LeBron’s gonna have his vengeance though).

Also, since when does Irving use Snapchat? Oh yeah, in times like these:
