It's getting really ugly in Cleveland.

On Friday, it was reported that Kyrie Irving wanted a trade from the Cavs because he was sick of playing second fiddle to Lebron James.

Then ESPN loudmouth Stephen A. Smith revealed that Irving -- who actually made the trade request weeks ago -- believes Lebron was the one who leaked Irving's trade request to the press.

Smith's reporting on that has pretty much been confirmed.

Last night, Stephen A. dropped another doozy about the dysfunction in Cleveland.

"I’ve had sources in LeBron James’ camp literally tell me, and I’m quoting…if Kyrie Irving was in front of LeBron James right now, LeBron James would be tempted, quote, to beat his ass, end quote," Stephen A. said. "LeBron is upset that Kyrie has made him a subject to be broached with regard to Kyrie’s desire to move out," Stephen A. said.

Now that would be a proper undercard for Mayweather-McGregor.
