Cavaliers Acting as if Kyrie Irving Trade is ‘inevitable’

The Cavaliers are projecting confidence they can snare a king’s ransom for Kyrie Irving, and more than that, they are acting — for now — as if a trade is almost inevitable, and that there is little chance of salvaging their relationship with him, according to several sources familiar with the situation.

Things can always change, particularly if Irving initiates a meeting with James to hash things out, but that is the mood around these tense talks now.
