Is the Cleveland Cavaliers‘ star trio going to last for years to come?

As one of the best teams in the NBA, the Cleveland Cavaliers should not be surrounded by the drama, speculation, and rumors they are dealing with.

In the beginning of March, the focus should be on the team’s playoff seeding, who their matchups could be, and how their play now could benefit them in the playoffs. Well, unfortunately, there is a lot more frustration and negative stories coming out, and the Cleveland Cavaliers must overcome everything they have been dealt.

Every team has their issues. Some have season-long issues while others are forced to deal with problems every so often. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, thy have been in the former. How the “Big Three” has played together, while trying to coexist has been tough.

The coaching issues are important and what more importantly is can Kevin Love, LeBron James, and Kyrie Irving play at a high-level together and can they last together long-term? The FoS team gave their thoughts.

No Need To Break Up The “Big Three”

 Joe Russo

I have always been amazed at the irrational way Cleveland Cavaliers fans respond to adversity. They fired a coach who had the top seed in the conference. We are asking on this site if we should have traded Kyrie or if a LeBron-Irving-Love core can last. In the words of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, RELAX.

Yes, this group can stay together for the long haul. Some personal adjustments and tweaks to the one court play need to happen. Kyrie could dribble less and LeBron can stop sulking all of the time. Love can be more assertive and all three can play better defense.

This group can do it, but we all act like the Cavs have been this good forever and are not living up to their legacy. Just stop the overreacting. This group can make it happen in this season and others in the future.
