In addition to that, the same page published that the odds of Cavs winning 2018 NBA title will fall to +700 should Irving leave. Right now, they are at +400.

Irving's request came at a bad time for the Cavaliers. Their summer was plagued with front office turmoil, reports of LeBron James leaving in 2018, and an inactive free agency. The team's salary cap is fully filled up, and massive improvements could not have been made.
