LeBron James: DeAndre Jordan Would Have Given Boost To Cavs

And then, just like that, Anthony Davis happened.

The Cavs were forced to play this game shorthanded as both Cedi Osman and Rodney Hood left the game with injuries. What is LeBron James going to do? The 33-year-old is averaging 27.0 points, 9.0 assists and 8.4 rebounds this season. He scored 13 of the Cavs’ final 15 points in the first half and their final nine in the second half. However, showing some of the same confidence he did when rating his game, James said he isn’t paying attention to seeding.

The four teams that James is considering are staying at home with the Cleveland Cavaliers or joining the Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers, or the Houston Rockets. Lou Williams has an average of 35.45 fantasy points per game on the season.

“I understand that I’m a free agent at the end of the summer, so I understand the frenzy that comes with it”, James said. They have also shot a combined.516 from the field, knocking down an average of 14.1 threes (.423 3FG%) and dishing out 24.9 assists (10.4 turnovers). The Cavs’ front office acquired two solid role players to bolster the rotation and replace young talent with veteran production.

But there’s a little more to it.

Cleveland averages 23.6 assists per game, which ranks eighth in the National Basketball Association.

LeBron is notorious for communicating with the leagues’ top players, and with reports that he will not consider the Spurs, it could be a clear indication that LeBron either knows Leonard is not there for the long haul or LeBron feels – like Leonard – the Spurs have handled matters poorly. We’ll just keep progressing. They are now in the playoff picture in 6th place within the Eastern Conference at 35-28.

That said, James’ anticipated impending free agency of course generates an incredible amount of interest, as it should.

What time does Cleveland Cavaliers vs Los Angeles Clippers tip-off? James spoke about his upcoming free agency, billboards put up by a super fan and why there is interest in him coming to the Lakers. They could have, perhaps, become teammates in L.A. had the Lakers not jettisoned him and Jordan Clarkson for the expiring contracts of Isaiah Thomas and Channing Frye. If that isn’t validation for Sam Hinkie’s plan and all those who trusted (and still trust) the Process, I’m not sure what is.

And while we’d certainly take pieces of his game from past seasons over the current version, there is no doubt that James’ mental capacity – his impossibly high knowledge of the game, combined with a Jordan-like instinct in the most important moments – has never been better. “That’s probably the only thing”. I blurted something like, “I’ll be right back, ‘ and I ran back to the locker room”.

Many would speculate about where James went and what exactly he did during those two weeks.

“It was ridiculous”, Larry Nance Jr. said.

“I don’t even know what I imagined it to be like beforehand”, Nance said.
