In recent weeks, headlines in the basketball world have been filled with unconfirmed reports about Cleveland's Big 3 composed Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving and LeBron James leaving the franchise soon.

If the speculations prove right, the Cavalier's path to the Finals now appears as an uphill struggle not as it was once predicted.

As reported by Movie News Guide, social media speculations have been taunting Cleveland over its superstars' dissatisfaction with the team and how things are turning out for the worse on the ring. Leaving the franchise in search for a better performing basketball team to work with is not a distant possibility for the trio.

In the case of Lebron James, his rumored farewell from the Cavs was triggered when he unfollowed Cleveland in his Twitter account leading others to believe that he'd probably opt to leave as a free agent this off season, the Inquistr reported.

Other swirling rumors also mentioned about the challenges of getting the Cavs' enviable assembly of superstars work in seamless chemistry on the hardcourt especially for its three prized talents.

In an article over the speculated Kyrie Irving trade, Yibada reported that he is hardly a 'pass-first point guard'. In the team's controversial win over the Dallas Mavericks, NBA observers noticed that Irving does not 'register a proper amount of assists at the lead guard position' and if he does, only 'when he was forced to do so'.

Also, his incredible talent does not seem to reciprocate his working relationship with LeBron James on the ring. Other Cavs get put off with the idea of Irving usurping James' leadership role.

"If multiple Cavaliers believe Irving's being too selfish with the ball - even if the numbers don't totally bear that out, and even if Lue literally told him to be - to the degree that they're anonymously grumbling about it, even after a win, then maybe the chemistry issue extends beyond just Irving and James," NBA observer Dan Devine said as quoted by Yibada.
