The tearing asunder of the Kyrie , Lebron, Kevin Love triumvirate is well-known, although the exact reasons are not. Since Kyrie went easy to Boston, the two have occasionally trade thinly veiled ( and not so thinly-veiled) barbs at each other. The way things ended it would seem like the last thing one could expect to see was, outside of all-star or international play, the two of them running on the same team again and the two of the would want to keep it that way.
