Message: [QUOTE="Justavisitor, post: 2272095, member: 1442"] Kyrie can't be blamed in this situation. First off, Cleveland tried to shop Kyrie around this summer in hopes of landing Chris Paul. That alone shows the loyalty of Dan Gilbert to Kyrie. The NBA is a business and the players know this all to well. More importantly, Lebron will NOT commit to Cleveland that he will return after this season. More than likely, Lebron will take his talents elsewhere (LA Lakers has been mentioned). Kyrie, in stead of sitting back waiting and hoping he is left with a real team after Lebron bolts, has decided to do just like the owners and approach his future like a business. He is taking matters in his own hands and getting out before Lebron bolts and Cleveland is back to hoping they can simply make the play offs. Last, without Lebron, the marketability of Cleveland is pretty much nothing to speak of. Kyrie would be crazy to not look to leave. [/QUOTE]
