LeBron James: Cleveland Cavaliers ready to go after Finals disappointment

During the team’s media appearance last Monday, as reported by ESPN, Cavs guard Kyrie Irving made it clear to the crowd that they are feeling a lot of rage over their defeat. But I think what we have, I don’t need to be as hard-headed.

“We also believe strongly that Tristan loves this team and he loves competing with these guys”.

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio- The countdown is on to National Basketball Association season and it all starts today for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

We’re excited about moving forward with him into the future in whatever form that may take.

“I got a bit insane with my workout regimen”, James said.

“I’m going to be very smart with how many minutes I play per game and what I’m doing on the floor”. However, as we know, they’re not really on the same terms with one of their key pieces, forward Tristan Thompson.

With all that out, it seems that the Cavs are standing pat on their original offer of $80 million for five years.

Irving’s declaration echoed LeBron James’, who is coming off the fourth Finals loss of his career. We’re now down to just a couple days before said scenario becomes a reality, and unfortunately last night’s story-turned-non-story is the best development we’ve had in months. It’s in a good space for us to try and achieve a goal together, and that’s to win a championship. James wants Thompson to be a Cavalier for life but even he won’t get involved in the negotiations between Thompson, Paul and the franchise.

The deadline for Thompson and Cleveland to get a deal done is Thursday. I’m done with all those things. James shared how the Miami Heat’s championship defeat at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks in 2011 put his team in the proper mindset to take it all in 2012.

You can take this to the bank: The Cavs are not going into this season with the attitude they are entitled to another trip to the Finals. If Thompson holds out, or signs the one-year qualifier and proceeds to proclaim how this year will be his last in Cleveland, this season is going to feature an incredibly unnecessary sideshow. That gives us the best chance to play in June.”.

The team has minimal additions to the roster with most of the team members (except Tristan Thompson) accounted for. Should this rumor be eventually proven to be correct, then it could be said that Tristan Thompson opted to stay with LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love despite the substantial decrease in his target income.
