Kevin Durant weighs in on LeBron James/Cavs situation
LeBron James’ increasingly uncertain future with the Cleveland Cavaliers has everybody talking, including his NBA peers.
Kevin Durant had a spirited back-and-forth on Twitter with rapper/comedian Lil Dicky on Wednesday over whether or not the Cavs should trade James amidst the growing rumors that he will be leaving the team next summer.
u can't trade a legend. He is Cleveland, he gets to hold the cards

Of course, James has a full-no trade clause, one it has already been reported that he will not be waiving. But rumblings emerged on Wednesday that the four-time MVP is “100 percent leaving” the Cavs next summer (which James’ camp vehemently denied however). In any case, Durant seems to respect James as a competitor and friend, so it’s a very reasonable take from him.
