After Tyronn Lue\u2019s emotional side of the story for LeBron James, he told the fans how the Lakers star was crushed by Kyrie Irving\u2019s trade rumors. \u201cLeBron was doing an autograph signing with jerseys and stuff\u2026SportsCenter says Kyrie Irving\u2019s just been traded to the Boston Celtics. Man, Bron dropped the marker, just lays back in his chair for about 10 minutes and doesn\u2019t say a word. Just pissed off. Bron was crushed\u201d, said Tyronn Lue. But the real question is: was he really crushed?Soon after this, veteran journalist Rob Parker dropped a bombshell on LeBron James. He said, \u201cKyrie found out that after they won the championship, LeBron wanted Kyrie traded for Chris Paul two years ago\u2026 And I think that he found this out and it cut him deep and there\u2019s no trust.\u201d Kyrie Irving demanded a trade years ago in 2017, just a year after winning the 2016 titles and this was just one allegation. <\/p>\n

\u201cMakes sense on why Kyrie would want to move on and want to move away from the greatest player on the planet.

Dallas Mavericks player Kyrie Irving finally cleared the air on leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers. He said, \u201cI would have loved to choose the franchise I wanted to go to. I would have loved to develop next to some of my favorite players\u2026 It\u2019s not that I disliked playing with [LeBron] at any time. It was just literally my time to move on.\u201d Kyrie Irving revealed that he doesn\u2019t have any beef with Lakers star LeBron James and that it was finally time for him to move on. \u201cWhen you\u2019re playing with someone like [James]\u2026 it\u2019s a different animal.
