This post NBA season has already had a ton of surprises like with Paul George being traded to the Thunder. But this one — I don't think anyone see coming. Reports are swirling around that Kyrie Irving requested a trade from the Caveliers.
Irving reportedly wants to the focus of an team and not to be overshadowed by Lebrons big brand. ESPN's Brian Woodhirst reported that Lebron was "disappointed" in Kyrie's requested to be traded during a meeting with team owner Dan Gilbert.

"We just have to, you know, make sure that all our pieces are aligned first, and then we go from there," Irving said. "It's the summertime, a lot of craziness going on in the NBA."
This 2017-2018 season is really going to look different if Irving gets his way.
