Remember when Kyrie Irving addressed some of the rumors and reports about him being unhappy in Cleveland? He did that the other day on Twitter and wanted everybody to stop spreading rumors about him and his "camp" wanting to play elsewhere. When he sent those tweets, he did it with the intention of stopping all the drama and establishing some #Clarity.

Yeah, that didn't work.

Instead, it brought up some more old stuff and we got some more excellent non-basketball garbage to think about while the Cavaliers gloriously bow out of the Eastern Conference playoff race. For whatever reason, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon was on ESPN in late March and, for some other reason, was talking about Dion Waiters and Kyrie Irving. Here's what he said, according to this ESPN.com story.

"I talked about it with Dion," Gordon told anchor Skip Bayless. "He's my neighbor in my building, so we hang out all the time. I'm aware of the rift in the locker room. That's just alpha males and supreme athletes trying to share the spotlight."

He said he hoped the two got along but supported the idea that one of the two would have to be traded.

"I'm not opposed to that," Gordon said. "It might play out better."

This is such a Cleveland story. If Kyrie didn't want to leave fans, local media and apparently Josh Gordon are really trying to change that. LeBron left, get over it. Stop attacking the star we lucked into because you're afraid to attach yourself to another potentially great player and watch him leave. Had 7 years of potentially the greatest player of all time, and after he left you were given an uber talented PG who is one of the most exciting and thrilling players to enter the league in recent memory. Yes, the national media loves to promote sadness and turmoil in Cleveland sports. How about just ignoring it and shutting the fuckup? God damn, I hate fans in this city. This article isn't really about fans or LeBron, but fuck, it all relates.

Lol at the comments on Gordon's instagram talking about how they need to deal Kyrie. Cleveland fans don't deserve happiness.

Some idiot in the local media randomly brought it up post-game the other night. Now the national media is running with it.
