Kyrie Irving appears to have zero interest in talking to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Cleveland's front office has attempted to contact Irving since reports surfaced that the 6-foot-3 guard requested a trade, but have yet to receive a response from him, multiple sources told The Athletic's Jason Lloyd.
Irving reportedly feels underutilized in the Cavaliers' offense and prefers to step away from under LeBron James' shadow. The six-year veteran has listed the Spurs, Heat, Knicks, and Timberwolves among his preferred destinations.
The Cavaliers reportedly believe there's little chance of salvaging their relationship with Irving and presume a trade is "almost inevitable."
Despite the chatter of a possible trade, Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert said Wednesday he expects to see Irving in training camp, noting he's still under contract for the next two seasons.
The 25-year-old is coming off another terrific offensive season, averaging 25.2 points, 5.8 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 1.2 steals, while shooting 47.3 percent from the floor and 40.1 percent from deep.
