While the rest of the NBA world is wondering what happened to Kyrie Irving and LeBron James, the rest of the Cavaliers players are staying out of it. In fact, most of them are tweeting about completely different things altogether.

Kevin Love might be the lone exception, as he slyly referenced Irving’s “peculiar” quote in a tweet on Friday. But that’s the most anyone on the Cavs has mentioned the fact that Irving wants out of Cleveland. While some looked at a LeBron James tweet from last month as evidence that James knew about Irving’s trade demands before the rest of us, James is spending his time tweeting about how good Ray Allen was in his prime.

Meanwhile, J.R. Smith is out there tweeting about how much he likes Nike sweats.

Lots of NBA players are excited about the Association’s switch to Nike jerseys and apparel, but few are more excited than Irving. Apparantly he really likes Nike gear. Especially the tech fit sweats.

It’s always interesting to see what athletes wear off the court. Some, like J.R., just like to be comfortable and wear a lot of team gear and sweats. For him, the move to Nike is perfect. But it probably won’t get him on any best dressed lists anytime soon.
