Are the Cavaliers having a mental breakdown?
Over their last seven games, the Cleveland Cavaliers have lost five games – including major loses to both the Spurs and Warriors. However, last night, LeBron James reached a boiling point, as he publicly called out the Cavaliers front-office for not addressing their back-up point guard situation. Soon after winning a title, the team lost Matthew Dellavedova, who inked a deal with the rising Milwaukee Bucks and haven’t addressed their needs for a Kyrie Irving predecessor.
Following last night’s upset loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, King James told members of the media that his team needs a back-up point guard really bad. He even said that this year’s team is worse than their 2016 squad, citing they lack depth; but we’re believing this will be resolved will J.R. Smith returns to the team in a few weeks. LeBron went to say, “We need a fucking playmaker. I’m not saying you can just go find one, like you can go outside and see trees.
I didn’t say that. … I don’t know what we got to offer. I just know me, personally? I don’t got no time to waste. I’ll be 33 in the winter, and I ain’t got time to waste. That’s what I’m talking about.” Cavaliers GM David Griffin has just under three weeks to complete a mid-season acquisition, as the rest of the NBA world will be monitoring this situation before the All-Star break.
Whoa…LeBron not holding back tonight, questioning the #Cavaliers roster, front office moves, and noting ""We need a f—ing playmaker." https://t.co/wk3XDcmzMR

Since New Orleans rebranded and became #Pelicans, they are 4-0 at home against LeBron James' Cavs/Heat teams

Nigga handpicked that team. Sits out when he wants. All but guaranteed a finals appearance. And needs 'more help'?
