LeBron James needs help, and he's unhappy about not getting it.
Saturday's Mike Bibby trade, in which Sacramento sent him to Atlanta for four players, coupled with New Jersey still trying to move Jason Kidd to Dallas reportedly has James fuming.
"San Antonio is the Western champion. We are the Eastern champion. Everyone talks about everyone else," James said in a sarcastic rant.
"We're not that good. That's what everyone talks about. We beat Detroit. We didn't beat Detroit; Detroit beat themselves. Washington was missing key guys, and New Jersey didn't play up to their capabilities. Enough of the Cavs now. You all got me a little upset."
Asked if his team needs to make a deal, James tried to be delicate: "If we can get better, you want to be in that position. This is nothing to do with any of my teammates I have in my locker room. They know I'd never disrespect their games. But as a competitor, if we can get better before [the trade deadline] Thursday, hopefully we can.
"I'm not the only guy who wants to get better. I'm the only one who gets interviewed."
The talk is that James' associates are making it clear to the Cavs that improving the team quickly remains a litmus test for the forward's decision on whether he'll look favorably on re-signing in Cleveland.
The clock is ticking toward the trade deadline. Anderson Varejao and Drew Gooden are the names that come up most often, though the Cavs would most like to deal Larry Hughes. Acquiring Ron Artest from the Kings remains possible if the Cavs would take some of Sacramento's bad contracts. The question is how much they have to do to satisfy James.
They probably won't be able to trade for anyone till Hughes' contract starts expiring.

He got a damn point. Gotta suck to see kidd (almost) & bibby traded. The list keeps shortening for the cavs in terms of PGs they can get.
-
i cant blame dude...i still lmao at the hughes contract situation though

i see lebron in another uniform ....

nahhh...You thinking the cavs are willing to lose the golden boy of the NBA? They will make a move at any cost next year to get him some help.

when Kobe retires , welcome Lebron 8).. seriously I dont see him winning in Cleveland.. their roster sucks, they havent a young player with major upside .. Lebron contract is finished after the 09-10 season right ? he gonna quit the Cavs
-
He's saying exactly what most Laker fans here were getting bashed for saying. LOL
-
i see lebron in another uniform ....
i see him wanting to fix the Knicks

I am a Cavs fan, Lebrn is going nowhere. They are just stuck in a bad spot, like the Lakers were for a few years until they got Bynum and Gasol.
They won't be able to make any moves this season, but next year they have 34 million in contracts coming off the books. That will definitely allow them to make some moves.

Lebron is not staying in Cleveland if he has the chance to leave

the only difference is that he hasn't demanded a trade

^^He will if it keeps goin' this way.

Cleveland needs to Get LeBron Whatever he want's.
If he want's The Owner's Daughter To Blow him While he Wears A NY Yankee's cap then so be it..
He's Throwin' up Prime Number's right now & he's only 23.
Although The Cavs when "Healthy" are a very good Contender Type of team.
IMO, A Partial Overhaul of Their roster would be the best Solution.

People are acting like the Cavs are garbage. Remember, they won the eastern conference last year.

The Cavs are mediocre at best. LeBron knows it. Worst eastern conference champions ever. Even worse than the previous Heat.

Any team would with that cakewake schedule.
Round 1: Beat the Wizards (without Arenas and Butler)
Round 2: Beat the Nets (with choke artist Carter)
Round 3: Beat the Pistons (I give him 100% credit there).
