In episode No. 3 of King James Gossip, we talk about the Cleveland Cavaliers recent losing streak, Isaiah Thomas’ impact, and a reject Kyrie Irving trade.

After losing three straight road games, the Cleveland Cavaliers finally beat Portland in Isaiah Thomas’ return. However, does that struggle mean anything? That’s one of our hot topics following a short chat about Jackie MacMullan’s article on Kyrie Irving, his trade, and much more.

MacMullan went behind the scenes and dove into the trade that stars Kyrie Irving and Isaiah Thomas were apart of this past offseason. She also drew attention to a rejected trade that the podcast covers in detail. What happened to it? Who would’ve said no? That and much more on how MacMullan’s brilliant piece drew much-deserved attention.

Those two along with Isaiah Thomas’ 17 point debut are the main hot topics. That said, here’s the breakdown of King James Gossip’s episode 3.

No guests came on the show this week, and it was arguably the smoothest of the three King James Gossip podcasts so far. We have a great time making these and are always looking for ways to improve, so if you have any advice, questions, or concerns shoot us a message on Facebook or Twitter or just comment below.
