GLARING OMISSION: All the perspective you need about the Cleveland Cavaliers' decision to bypass their planned video tribute for Kyrie Irving at Tuesday's home opener at Quicken Loans Arena is this: Even when stung by the timing of LeBron James' decision to return to Cleveland in 2014, the Heat nonetheless went forward with their James tribute upon his return, as they did last season with Dwyane Wade, after the 2016 offseason acrimony. Just as they had upon the returns of James Jones, Mario Chalmers, Mike Miller and others who moved on. Granted, unlike Irving, none had forced their way out with a trade demand. Still, the Cavaliers produced such a tribute video for Irving and then shelved the presentation. According to team spokesman Tad Carper, as reported by Clevland.com, "We were expecting to run it at a floating opportunity based on the right moment, and we felt that moment never presented itself." That's one version, but Cleveland.com also reported that some Cleveland players did not want the presentation. So apparently video tributes in Cleveland are handled with introspection. Comic-sans emails? Not so much.
