When Kyrie Irving requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets last week, the immediate assumption was that we’ll see a reunion between LeBron James and Kyrie. LeBron seemingly welcomed the idea (while trying to avoid tampering), and the Nets had decided to sit Irving until a trade was made. The wheels were in motion.
It didn’t take long to pair Irving with one of the NBA’s best players either — it just wasn’t LeBron.
