By now, most of the NBA-loving universe has heard the news about Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving. According to a report from ESPNās Brian Windhorst, the crafty ball-handler requested a trade in a meeting with team owner Dan Gilbert last week.
Since Windyās story broke, reactions to the news of Irvingās plea have been flooding all forms of social media websites. InsideHoops took a moment to ask Cavs power forward Kevin Love āhow heās feelingā about the situation. Not to be out-witted, the smooth-shooting forward gave an Uncle Drew-related reply, saying: āLife is amazing. No complaints. Things are a little peculiar. But no complaints. Now go kick some rocks.ā
By the look of his tweet, it sounds like Love simply isnāt trying to hear any of the chatter. Loveās use of the word āpeculiarā is especially funny because of the statement Irving made earlier this week in a Sports Illustrated interview about the state of the Cavs being āpeculiar.ā
While itās true a meeting did take place, whether or not Irving will be traded can only be speculated on at this point. As one of the Cavsā core rotational pieces, there is no doubt he is (and has been) extremely important to their success.
