      He dug himself a hole, panicked and began to pace himself moving about in circles just like kids play Tetherball at the playground. Kyrie didn't know what in the heck he was even responding to. He seemed to be impaired in some manner.
      He could have ended it and responded in this manner short and sweet: 'The moment Lebron hypothetically put me on the trading block, in which he laterally did, he betrayed me so it was over. I was not going to allow for somebody else to dictate what my future was going to ultimately be. It was over.'
      That's what i would like to have heard from Kyrie. Lebron wanted to trade him, so he realized he was an expendable asset and wasn't going to get turnt like that.

On that time Lebron went to cleveland and helped him to be better ( he worked hard too) and his career went up! So he didnt want to be the 2nd guy, he thought he could do it himself, then he went to boston and had to deal with players with the same mentality he had and not doing all to win, so he then saw how hard it is to be a leader, called lebron, told him he is sorry for acting that way and now went to a place he does not have that job and can worry only about basketball

      I get what your saying and its true
      Lebron was leaving especially after 2018 finals but LJ played 4 years total and they BOTH couldve left at the same time. LeBron, Kyrie, and Love delivered on LeBron's promise for a Championship.
      GS never broke the original tie with the Cavs (1-1) recruiting KD validate how good the Cavs with Kyrie & Love were and how dominate LJ was and once Kyrie Left it was even harder for Cavs against GS. He was a major part of the team.
      Cavs 2016 Championship is one of the greatest teams, games and wins in History.
      LeBron (The Block), Kyrie (The Shot), and K. Love (The Stop) on Curry in the last minutes of the final game is what seal the deal for Cavs 1st Championship in 50 years.
      It was a team effort and Kyrie apologize to LeBron about the whole situation on the phone and mention it in an interview publicly because the approach he took to leave wasnt the best.
      Just my take.

      Agreed . His timing was based on market value. Had he played another predictable injury plagued season ; gone to another finals and LOST. His trade value would be less and a trade to his preferred team less likely . By allowing an alleged rift between him and LeBron created NEWS and residual marketability. Meanwhile ; both franchise GMs KNEW. They were trading damaged goods for damaged goods . Neither Kyrie OR Isaiah Thomas have contributed much ; since the trade .

      You have no evidence to back that up. Kyrie said ,PUBLICLY, that he had to call LeBron and apologize to him because he didn’t always listen to what he tried to teach him. The dude has never impacted teams positively since he’s been in the league, they all get worse, plus he calls teammates out in the media. Have you forgotten??
