To counter those feelings, the Cavaliers fired their head coach and general manager, gave Kyrie Irving a max contract extension and acquired both Kevin Love and LeBron James. Still trade talk about Irving hasn’t completely gone away, even if some mouth breathers are still eating paste and asking about trading Irving.
According to NBA scribe Chuck Myron — as well as common sense — Kyrie Irving will not be traded for Eric Bledsoe no matter how many times you ask.
"Well, we all know you and Bledsoe share an agent, LeBron, but I don’t think that would happen. Kyrie’s got a track record that’s a lot longer than Bledsoe’s, and even you know, LeBron, that this team is built to win now. No need to take any chances with a title on the line."
The idea of trading Kyrie Irving is pretty insane, especially considering he just inked a massive max contract with the Cavaliers and Cleveland is the hottest NBA city int he world at the moment. But there are dots to be connected between LeBron, the Cavaliers and Bledsoe which makes the idea of a trade not that ridulous.
Just kidding, it’s still pretty ridiculous and should probably never be mentioned again.
