Former Cavs GM: Kyrie Irving “Had To Leave” LeBron To Find Himself (podcast)

Much has been made of the highly publicized LeBron James Kyrie Irving split one summer ago. What led Irving to demand a trade that ultimately sent him from the Cavaliers to the Celtics, and who if anyone is to blame? Few people can speak to the situation with as much insight and clarity as former Cavaliers General Manager David Griffin.

Griffin was a guest of Basketball Insider Jeff Goodman on the Good N’ Plenty Podcast on CLNS Media and says that even though a lot of people blame Kyrie, nothing about him leaving Cleveland was personal.
