The disintegration in the relationship between Cleveland Cavaliers stars LeBron James and Kyrie Irving has been reportedly related to Irving’s trade request last month. However, a new report indicates that the two players recently got together in Miami, offering Cavaliers fans hope that the two can somehow patch things up and remain teammates.

Tony Rizzo of ESPN Cleveland offered the rumor:

All I do know is LeBron didn’t punch Kyrie the way Stephen A. thought he would. I can report that. As for what they talked about or discussed…it was very cool. They didn’t get into any heated discussions.”

The “Stephen A.” reference was noting the recent comment by ESPN pundit Stephen A. Smith, who suggested that James was reportedly very upset about Irving’s criticism and the reasons for his trade request.

However, Rizzo and Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert have a friendship that’s previously included Rizzo
