Kyrie Irving ran in an open gym with several high school players from his alma mater during the past few days, but in that setting he preferred to talk about teamwork instead of teams.
Irving has asked the Cleveland Cavaliers for a trade, with one source telling ZAGSBLOG it’s “inevitable” he will be dealt.
But Irving was focused only on playing with the high school guys during the open gym, not on his future whereabouts.
“No, there was absolutely no conversation about him going anywhere,” said Giorgi Bezhanishvili, a 6-foot-10 18-year-old native of the Republic of Georgia who recently transferred to The Patrick School in Hillside, N.J. “He didn’t want to talk about it.

NEWARK — Whether he believes the Earth is flat or the Moon landing was faked, you can say this about Kyrie Irving.
He continues to help students at his alma mater, The Patrick School, including paying the $11,000 tuition of 12-year-old Spencer Joyner, a seventh-grader who was diagnosed in November with pseudotumor cerebri, a debilitating condition that results in migraine headaches and can cause vision loss.
Spencer sat courtside at the Villanova-Seton Hall game on Saturday at the Prudential Center, next to his father, Mel Joyner, and his AAU coach, Prophet Kates of the NY Jayhawks.
Mel said when his son first walked into the Prudential Center, which had more than 16,000 fans in attendance, Spencer said, “Wow.”
