Well, this is something.

The same Australian church leader that's allegedly behind Justin Bieber's decision to suddenly cancel his tour also influenced Kyrie Irving's decision to demand a trade from the Cavs.

According to TMZ:

Church sources tell us Kyrie, who's been an active member for a long time, met with [Hillsong Church leader Carl] Lentz earlier this month about his desires to step out of LeBron James' shadow. We're told Lentz didn't tell Kyrie to "leave Cleveland" -- instead he listened to Kyrie's concerns, and encouraged him to make the decision he felt was best. There's a reason it sounds so similar to Justin's Purpose tour shocker -- Bieber, Lentz and Irving all hung out together in L.A. just over a week ago. You could say they were on Kyrie's turf ... playing pop-a-shot at Dave & Buster's.

Bieber is apparently contemplating starting his own church. We'll see if Irving starts talking about forming his own NBA team ...
