By now, everyone knows that Kyrie Irving wants out of Cleveland and has asked the Cavaliers to be traded before the start of next season.

However, the reasons why the star point guard is unhappy are still being speculated on, as Irving himself has yet to address the issue with the media.

The core of his problem with the Cavaliers seems to be centered around LeBron James, who he feels overshadows him when it comes to nearly everything on the court and off it.

Though Irving wants the ball in his hands more often, there were other issues bothering him too, according to a thorough ESPN.com report. Therefore, Irving wants to set out on his own and follow in the footsteps of guys like Damian Lillard and John Wall:

"But there were ancillary issues that bothered Irving, too, such as how James' good friend Randy Mims had a position on the Cavs' staff and traveled on the team plane while none of Irving's close friends were afforded the same opportunity," the report reads. "Irving chafed about how peers such as Damian Lillard and John Wall were the center of their franchises and catered to accordingly. There's irony there, as Wall was envious of Irving's Nike shoe deal and Lillard has never advanced beyond the second round of the playoffs. Irving has been to three Finals and has a championship."

Both Wall and Lillard are the faces of their teams, but as the report states, neither of them have had the level of success Irving has had while playing alongside LeBron.

Obviously, Irving thinks he'd be better off as the star player on a team of his own, but it's strange that he's seemingly taking his time playing alongside one of the greatest players ever for granted.

Even Wall and Lillard would probably love to have LeBron as a teammate, as neither have ever made an appearance in the NBA Finals, while James has led his teams to a whopping seven in a row.

Irving already has one title ring, though, and is still only 25 years old, so if he wants to break away from LeBron and set out on his own path, he's certainly allowed to do that.

The Cavaliers currently hope that Irving will decide to retract his trade demand and suit up for them this fall, but that may not be an option at this point.

If Irving does leave Cleveland, though, it won't be long before another superstar eagerly accepts the opportunity to chase a title with LeBron.
