How Cavs, Spurs handled trade demands by stars is worlds apart
I follow the Cavs and LeBron is my favourite player of all time, but at this stage of his career even I have to say that he must be a real buzz kill to play with if you're a talent like Kyrie. I was more critical of Kyrie than most Cavs fans, but looking at how he is doing under a great coach... well... I mean, replace Lue with Stevens last year and I'm still not sure it makes a difference in Cleveland with the personality and amount of pull that LeBron has.

Well Hendo you'll never actually know if LeBron would've played second fiddle because Kyrie had a hissy fit which made it untenable for him in Cleveland instead of speaking to management to try and work through a solution like an adult.

Kyrie wanted to be The Man on a team. Cleveland didn't have the option to offer him what he wants. Their hand was forced.
SAS just had to go back to using LA the way he's played for his entire career. An adjustment that wasn't particularly hard to make.
If it was as simple as saying to Kyrie "you're our number 1 now", they would have. But they have a bloke called LeBron James who probably would have had a little bit of an issue with them doing that.

Meanwhile, NBL team the Sydney Kings have revealed they binned an offer from Khloe's husband to play for the team tonight.
LA Lakers star forward Lamar Odom, sidelined by the NBA lockout and tagging along with his wife and sister-in-law, approached Kings club management about appearing on a one-off "import" basis - but was knocked back in favour of local players.
"We thought the offer was more sideshow than substance," Kings spokesman David Wolf said.
"We invited him to the game and there's always room in The Kingdome for the Kardashian entourage ... but to sideline a local player wasn't going to work."
