Title: Did we plant a Trojan horse in Cavs locker room?
Post by: celticsclay on January 23, 2018, 12:47:12 PM
Cavs fans are convinced that IT is leaking dirty business to WOJ and then everything has gone to crap since he started playing?

https://www.fearthesword.com/2018/1/22/16922018/cavs-kevin-love-faking-illness

This would be Ainge's most diabolical move.

Maybe. I don't believe any cavs fan conspiracy theorys though. Cavs fans think a lot of things that are not true.

It must suck going from anywhere a coach like Brad Stevens, organizational functionality, system-wide trust and a historical city like Boston to Cleveland.

As I said late last night, most troubling aspect of #Cavs meeting is that it got leaked. Now Lue's "agendas" comment from couple weeks ago is making more sense.

Three reasons why it appears the leak is coming from IT...

1) The Cavs don't talk to Woj.
2) Kevin Love is his boy.
3) Lebron's mouthpiece Windhorst goes on TV after the Woj leak and says "IT is frustrating his teammates" and "killing the Cavs".  Wonder where those came from....

I am sure IT would welcome a trade. He probably now has great respect for Kyrie Irving now too.
I am hopeful the king never wins another ring but I see him in Houston.

Yep, that's how a lot of Cavs fans are looking at it right now.

It would end the IT-Pierce video tribute controversy if they did (since the trade deadline is before that game).

Since it’s fun to throw around crazy trade ideas:

IT
Thompson
Frye

For

Deandre Jordan
Milos Teodosic
Brice Johnson

Windhorst just reported the cavs will make a trade before the deadline for sure, maybe multiple trades

that isn't exactly reporting since the Cavs have been one of the most active teams and have a very unique situation (given age and contracts).

All of the sadness and anger after the trade was just a smokescreen! He's been working for the Celts all along. He's destroyed the Cavs locker room and now he'll resign with the Celtics this summer, rejoining the team he never truly left.

Too bad the Celtics don't have any cap space to make my Robert Ludlum novel come true.

ESPN reported that during a team meeting Kevin Love became yet again the convenient scapegoat. A source told The News that Isaiah Thomas led the charge against Love

I seriously hope Love decides to stop being the consummate pro he's been and demands a trade. They completely neglect to utilize him correctly and then throw dirt on him whenever something goes wrong.

It would be the cherry on top of Danny Ainge's career sundae if somehow IT was involved in a multi-team trade at the deadline because the Cavs hate him and the Cs somewho pilfered him to provide us the scoring off the bench we so desperately need.

This was my dream too, but I don't this it is possible under CBA. We can't get him back for a year after trading him. Darn Gary Payton

Yeah, I’ll be disappointed if this part of the rumor is true.  Although last week the rumor was that Love was behind a lot of the anti-IT dirt being fed, so if both stories are true, maybe they aren’t as close as they let the sports media believe.

With IT getting big minutes, Love's shots have almost disappeared.

IT is playing for the Brinks Truck and that Truck isn't going to stop for 16 pg, no defense, few assists, and unhappy teammates.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear IT is available.

Find it hard to believe that with IT and Love being such great friends that they are the ones calling out each other. I could definitely see Lebron, Wade, or JR putting out these stories and blaming it on Love or IT.

I remember this rule, it came about with Big Z in Cleveland. I remember from when I was a Shaq fan, they traded Z and he came back after he was released that season. They thought it was unfair that he got to go back and play Shaq's backup for pennies that season. It was good for me as a fan but not so good for the league lol.

I'm not sure why anyone is surprised if Thomas would be the one calling Love out. He's always been a bit of a pain in the ass and was critical of Stevens less than 12 months ago.

Quote
Isaiah Thomas has not been shy about being candid with his assessment of the performance of the Celtics all year long. He’s twice taken issue with the team’s coaching by Brad Stevens, the most recent episode coming Monday night in Los Angeles when he called out his head coach for leaning too heavily on the bottom of the depth chart in a road loss to the Clippers.

“We should have won this game. We should have won [Sunday] night [in Phoenix]. We can’t be experimenting in Game 63,”

IT used to spend his weekends at Love’s house when they were like 12 and 13.  They were probably closer than your average teammates.  That said, if I were coworkers with my best friend from middle school, I might get into shouting matches as well.  Relationships change over time.

Looks to me like Kyrie became a man and dumped Bron and IT showed up and was like "Oh yeah. Guess who's not the boss of me."

Now the team is falling apart.
