Twitter Reacts to Kyrie Irving's Trade Request

The basketball social media world reacts to Kyrie Irving's request to be traded from the Cavaliers.

The basketball world was shook when ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported that Kyrie Irving has requested to be traded from the Cleveland Cavaliers. 

Kevin Love responded to a tweet with the following, which appears to be a thinly veiled reference to Irving's telling Sports Illustrated that the Cavs are in a "peculiar" place.

Life is amazing. No complaints. Things are a little peculiar. But no complaints. Now go kick some rocks 🙌🏼 https://t.co/Tz62YyGeYt

The Knicks should do whatever takes legal or illegal to pull off a Porzingis/Kyrie foundation - its too bad Suge Knight isn't their new GM.
