Cleveland Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue says the team has met with NBA superstar LeBron James and discussed his recent post-game rant.
James was critical of Cleveland’s front office following Monday night’s loss in New Orleans.
The Pelicans handed the defending NBA champions their fifth loss in seven games despite playing without star Anthony Davis.
Afterwards, James said the Cavs’ roster was “top heavy” and that he wasn’t sure the organisation was fully committed to defending their title.
James insisted he wasn’t criticising general manager David Griffin or any of his teammates but reiterated that the team needs to add a playmaker.
Lue said the team discussed James’ comments before Wednesday’s shoot-around and that James met with Griffin.

Yep but that's like Russell saying hey we'd be better with another two way star. It's easy to say what you want without considering what you'd give up. Listening too hard to a player who can leave if you get it wrong is fraught with danger

Glad Griffin isn't buckling you can't let a player (with a short term contract no less) be a shadow GM.

How much help does this guy need? CLE has the highest payroll of all-time, and the organization isn't fully committed? Ridiculous statements all-around by James.
