There have been a lot of rumors surrounding the Cleveland Cavaliers and the future of two of their guards, Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters.

Waiters was at the center of trade rumors earlier in the year while Irving reportedly wants out of Cleveland.

One of the reasons Irving wants out is because he supposedly does not like Waiters.

However, almost immediately after that report surfaced, both Irving and Waiters denied the rumor and Irving proclaimed the two were the “best of friends.”

That hasn’t stopped the rumors from rolling on, especially since Irving will become a restricted free agent in the offseason.

According to Sam Amico of Fox Sports and Fox Sports Ohio, the Cavaliers are not expected to trade either Irving or Waiters.

Irving is averaging 21.1 points, 6.2 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game while Waiters is putting up 15.8 points, 3.0 assists and 2.8 rebounds per game.
