Share this: It appears the Minnesota Timberwolves aren’t messing around when it comes to Kyrie Irving. The T-Wolves, allegedly one of Irving’s preferred destinations in a trade, are intensifying their pursuit of the Cleveland Cavaliers point guard, according to The Associated Press’ Jon Krawczynski. Exactly who Minnesota is willing to part with, though, apparently remains unclear. Shortly after SportsTalk Minnesota’s tweet, Krawczynski clarified things a bit. To be clear: Said Wolves are exploring Kyrie trades w/incredible seriousness. Still don't know if they would part w/Wiggins to do it. https://t.co/l060XdXZzd — Jon Krawczynski (@APkrawczynski) July 26, 2017 Regardless of whether they’re willing to part with Andrew Wiggins, who began his career in Cleveland, all indications are that the T-Wolves are legitimate front runners in the Irving sweepstakes.

Stephen A. Smith Claims LeBron James ‘Tempted to Beat’ Kyrie Irving’s ‘Ass’
Share this: To say the relationship between Cleveland Cavaliers superstars LeBron James and Kyrie Irving is not good might be an understatement. James reportedly was “blindsided” by Irving’s recent trade request, and a report Monday said the four-time NBA MVP is “eager” for him to be dealt to another team after the Cavs came to a reported agreement with veteran point guard Derrick Rose. Well, Stephen A. Smith said Monday on the “Stephen A. Smith Show” podcast that, citing sources close to James’ camp, “if Kyrie Irving was in front of LeBron James right now, LeBron James would be tempted to beat his ass.” Smith added: “Let me explain why. I want to make sure this is in context. LeBron James’ beef with Kyrie has
Cavs Should Make Paul George Trade If LeBron James Plans To Leave In 2018
Share this: Rumors of LeBron James potentially wanting to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2018 and head to Los Angeles — to sign with the Lakers or Clippers — perhaps has made the Cavs’ championship window a bit smaller than it was a year ago. There’s no guarantee James returns to Cleveland after the 2017-18 season as he’s eligible to become an unrestricted free agent next summer. That’s why the Cavs should make a bold move and trade for Indiana Pacers superstar Paul George. The 27-year-old forward reportedly has informed the Pacers he plans to become a free agent after next season and leave the team. His eye is on the Lakers as a free agent. So, acquiring George probably would be a one-year
Draymond Green Mocks LeBron James’ Haircut In Savage Instagram Post
Share this: The NBA Finals are over, but Draymond Green isn’t done taking shots at the Cleveland Cavaliers. First, Green trolled the Cavs by wearing a “Quickie” shirt during the Golden State Warriors’ championship parade Thursday — a play on the Quicken Loans Arena, where Cleveland plays its home games. That was just the appetizer, though. Later in the day, Green put up an Instagram post mocking a video Cavs star LeBron James has posted shortly before the Warriors’ parade began. The video showed James hitting the gym and showing off his new haircut, to which Green replied: “Them dubs (Warriors) finally made him go bald!!! Congrats bro.” Insert about a million skull emojis here. James did have a pretty great response to Green for the shirt
Mike Brown’s NBA Title With Warriors Came At Cavs’ Expense (Literally)
Share this: At this time last year, Mike Brown was out of an NBA job. Now — well, let’s just say he’s in a much more enviable situation. The Warriors assistant coach earned himself a ring Monday night when Golden State dispatched the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. The victory was especially sweet for Brown, considering the Cavs fired him twice from two separate head coaching jobs in 2010 and 2014. But it gets even better. When Cleveland signed him a second time in April 2013, Brown inked a five-year contract reportedly worth $20 million, part of which was guaranteed. And when he was fired a year later, a provision in his contract ensured he’d still receive that money in payments
Will LeBron James Leave Cavs For Lakers In 2018? Brian Scalabrine Has Heard Such
Share this: LeBron James needs a way to beat the Golden State Warriors over the long-term, and his plan might include leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers. James said Monday night after the Warriors beat the Cavs 129-120 to win the NBA Finals in Game 5 that he’s going to need to think long and hard about how Cleveland can beat a Golden State team that’s set up to win for a long time. However, there’s been plenty of speculation that James might move to the Western Conference instead when he becomes an unrestricted free agent after next season, specifically to the Los Angeles Lakers. “I’m hearing he’s going to (stay in Cleveland) for one more year and then bolt to (the Lakers),” Boston Celtics analyst
LeBron James Is First Player To Average Triple-Double In NBA Finals History
Share this: LeBron James did everything humanly possible to help the Cleveland Cavaliers defend their NBA title, including becoming the first player ever to average a triple-double in NBA Finals history. But it wasn’t enough, as the Golden State Warriors earned their second championship in three seasons Monday night with a Game 5 win over the Cavs at Oracle Arena.
