CLEVELAND -- This week leading up to the Cleveland Cavaliers' 108-83 victory over the Washington Wizards on Friday, people spent a whole lot of time talking about a whole lot of things that have absolutely no bearing on the Cavs' shot at postseason success come April.
So much, in fact, that it’s best to break out a list to count down the irrelevant storylines that were covered.
That Kyrie Irving wants out of Cleveland: Not only was this nonsense considering the trading deadline has already passed, but according to multiple league sources, back when David Blatt was fired and general manager David Griffin addressed the team about the coaching change, the GM told them that anyone who did not want to be about getting the team pointed in the right direction was welcome to come into his office and request a trade.
