LeBron James broke his silence on Kyrie Irving's trade request with a cryptic tweet posted late on Friday. Irving demanded a move away from the Brooklyn Nets with a bombshell ultimatum just days before the trade deadline.
Irving wants to leave the Nets within the next few days, despite having indicated he'd be willing to sign a new contract in Brooklyn. He was recently offered a new deal at the Barclays Center, but rejected the offer.
After rejecting the proposal, Irving indicated to the team that he wanted to be traded before the deadline on February 9 - and that he would leave in free agency if he didn't get his move.
