Report: Cavs unsuccessful in attempts to contact Irving

Kyrie Irving appears to have zero interest in talking to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Cleveland's front office has attempted to contact Irving since reports surfaced that the 6-foot-3 guard requested a trade, but have yet to receive a response from him, multiple sources told The Athletic's Jason Lloyd.

Irving reportedly feels underutilized in the Cavaliers' offense and prefers to step away from under LeBron James' shadow. The six-year veteran has listed the Spurs, Heat, Knicks, and Timberwolves among his preferred destinations.

The Cavaliers reportedly believe there's little chance of salvaging their relationship with Irving and presume a trade is "almost inevitable."

Despite the chatter of a possible trade, Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert said Wednesday he expects to see Irving in training camp, noting he's still under contract for the next two seasons.

The 25-year-old is coming off another terrific offensive season, averaging 25.2 points, 5.8 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 1.2 steals, while shooting 47.3 percent from the floor and 40.1 percent from deep.
