Lillard envies Irving's Finals trips, partnership with LeBron

Kyrie Irving is reportedly looking for a trade and cited Damian Lillard and John Wall as examples of career paths he's interested in to his front office.

SI Now went straight to Lillard on Monday to ask his take on Irving wanting out of Cleveland – where he plays alongside LeBron James and has made three straight trips to The Finals.

"It's a lot of hard work but I'm not even sure if that's true," the Portland Trail Blazers point guard said of being the "face" of a team. "I mean, who wouldn't want to go to The Finals every year? I think they've been to the Finals the last three years. I would love to do that."

Though Lillard didn't say he would or wouldn't ask for a trade if he was playing in Irving's position on LeBron's team, he did elaborate on what it might be like to be a Cavalier.

"I don't know because I've never played with LeBron," he said. "But just watching from the outside, you see how easy he makes the game for everybody else. I don't know what it's like playing with LeBron the person, but the player – I don't see why anybody wouldn't want to play with him."

Alright Cleveland, we've found your trade partner.
