Hopefully nothing will ever be on the same level of the Dwight crap 
Regardless, being in a shitty situation means you dont have to play hard? Dont have to get along with teammates? Allowed to talk crap about players on the team behind their back to a select few? He thinks hes above the rest of the team, yet he hasnt done anything to be like that.
Hes their best player, no doubt. But he doesnt make anybody else better. And when other players on the team dont like playing with the best player, theres a problem. The roster of Irving, Waiters, Jarret Jack, Deng, Gee, Thompson, Bennett, Varejoa, and Hawes is a solid roster. Thats a playoff team. But the locker room is divided, therefore its divided on the court. If Irving would take charge and become the leader he should be, this team would improve and grow a lot , and in a short amount of time as well.

its not like they have a great coach either. theyre underperforming but theres a long way to go, in my mind, before irving should be branded a prima dona who thinks hes above the team

By all accounts waiters and Irving are getting along great for the first time... I wouldn't expect lebrons biggest dick rider to know this though (windhorst).... The national media has probably watched 5 Cavs games all season

Other teammates there have said that Waiters is at least trying to improve his attitude and how he reacts to criticism. Irving... not so much. The anonymous teammate still says Irving acts like he doesnt care and all that.
And WCA, thats a legit roster and a playoff roster. Especially playing in the East. If getting along, of course. And people have already branded Irving a prima donna.
In regards to him thinking hes above it all, the reports from some teammates certainly show that. The FO does what Kyrie wants. Other players get taken out in games or yelled at for making mistakes / not playing hard D, but Irvin doesnt.
They had a players only meeting a few months ago that got intense. It was basically Tristan Thompson and Kyrie against everyone else.

Interesting article about the Cavs playing with Kyrie vs playing without him.

Going to take a wild guess at the teams on his short list he wants to be traded to.

Those quotes from the article read like a Real GM rumor piece from 'sources', wasn't expecting that to be Windhorst. My favorite part was that Kyrie got Grant fired, never mind the fact that the only decent move Grant made was drafting Kyrie.

I'm all aboard the trade Kyrie train. Seems like he's becoming more of a prima donna ever year. Plus the Cavs play noticeably better when he's out.

I was a big Cavs fan. Still follow them. Pissed LeBron left like he did and all that. But can you really blame Kyrie for wanting to leave? Cleveland is a depressing place to live. I grew up in NW Ohio. I'm sure LA or Miami or some other city is much more tempting and attractive to some 20 year old.
Can't hate Kyrie too much.

Clevelands(the team)'s main problem is dan gilbert.
Guy brought back fricking mike brown and can't hire a decent GM.
Not to mention he's a DBag

Gilbert has spent $$$ and is not the problem... Mike Brown is a terrible coach though.
Kyrie:
"At least be man or woman enough to come and ask me. There's no such source as "Kyrie's camp", nothing but nonsense."

Kyrie is a talented and gifted player, but at this point he is a looter in a riot. A person with his skill set should have a better impact on his team (especially playing in the east). Its not like he is playing with scrubs. Even with Mike Brown as coach he should be doing better. He should be a better defender just based on his attributes of being shifty and good lateral quickness.

Trey is about to come in here and set you all straight on how awesome a place Cleveland is.
Yet he's a Michigan fan
And Alabama

Extend him and trade him
Waiters>Irving

If he really wants out then he'll sign the one year qualifying offer, but he's not going to do that like the article says.
He's going to sign his max contract offer which will prob have opt outs like Love has, so he'll be stuck in Cleveland for the next 3 yrs at least.
