Veteran journalist spills beans on LeBron James' real role in Kyrie Irving's exit from Cleveland Cavaliers

The Los Angeles Lakers legend, LeBron James, had played for the team for over 7 years. However, this offseason sent a clear message in the league when the team wanted the input of Luka Doncic over LeBron James.

For years now, LeBron James’ voice in the NBA has been very prominent, from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Los Angeles Lakers. However, veteran journalist Rob Parker revealed something about LeBron James that created shockwaves in the league. There were some serious allegations.

Rob Parker revealed why LeBron James wanted Kyrie Irving’s exit from Cleveland Cavaliers

After Tyronn Lue’s emotional side of the story for LeBron James, he told the fans how the Lakers star was crushed by Kyrie Irving’s trade rumors.

“LeBron was doing an autograph signing with jerseys and stuff…SportsCenter says Kyrie Irving’s just been traded to the Boston Celtics. Man, Bron dropped the marker, just lays back in his chair for about 10 minutes and doesn’t say a word. Just pissed off. Bron was crushed”, 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, “Kyrie found out that after they won the championship, LeBron wanted Kyrie traded for Chris Paul two years ago… And I think that he found this out and it cut him deep and there’s no trust.” Kyrie Irving demanded a trade years ago in 2017, just a year after winning the 2016 titles and this was just one allegation.

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

Guy who you just went to battle with and won a championship with wanted to ditch you right after that for one of his best friends, it would hurt you.” Rob Parker also revealed.

Here’s why Kyrie Irving left the Cleveland Cavaliers

Dallas Mavericks player Kyrie Irving finally cleared the air on leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers. He said, “I 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… It’s not that I disliked playing with [LeBron] at any time.

It was just literally my time to move on.” Kyrie Irving revealed that he doesn’t have any beef with Lakers star LeBron James and that it was finally time for him to move on.

“When you’re playing with someone like [James]… it’s a different animal. It’s a different journey, you’re automatically expected to be at the top of the league”, Kyrie Irving further added, praising LeBron James’ ecstatic basketball energy.
