LeBron, Love power Cavaliers to 106-95 win over Bulls

The other 29 G.M.’s did not want to be the person that allowed the Cavaliers to become a dynasty that could win multiple championships and not one team was willing to trade a player for the expiring contract.

“That’s not really my department”, Lue said. “If we’re not engaged, we can lose a lot of ballgames”. “We’ve just got to get that down, and continue to get better”.

Cleveland is No. 1 in the Eastern Conference with 38 wins against 14 losses while Atlanta is in No. 4 with 31 wins against 24 losses at this point of the season.

James added that the reports were “false”, saying the Cavaliers weren’t anxious about trade talks.

Until the February 18 National Basketball Association (NBA) trade deadline, expect Kevin Love’s name to linger in the air.

James is averaging 25.0 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 6.5 assists in 51 games this season.

Isola is also reporting the Cavs might be dealing the floppy-haired Anderson Varejao.

ESPN’s Marc Stein and Brian Windhorst reported this week that the Boston Celtics have interest in Love, while the Cavs could potentially package Shumpert and Mozgov in order to acquire Kosta Koufos, Ben McLemore and a shooter like Marco Belinelli from the Sacramento Kings.

Meanwhile, the Cavs would get a stretch-four in Anderson, who could play the same role as Love has in Cleveland albeit on a cheaper price.

Griffin has proven he is not shy.

With 30 games remaining from now until the postseason starts, beginning with tonight’s home game against Chicago, Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said plans to rest James won’t materialize until the team clinches the top seed in the East, if it’s fortunate enough to do so.

Matthew Dellavedova had seven points in 17 minutes after missing the last five games with a hamstring injury, while Love showed no ill-effects after re-aggravating his surgically-repaired shoulder in the Cavaliers’ final game before the All-Star break. Those trades were the catalysts to a strong second half of the season for the Cavs. This has something to do with the fact that the team had recently signed Shumpert to a four-year $40 million deal in the offseason, which could make it hard for any team to take him in since that salary will play a factor. We’re all here to find out what happens and if there’s nothing, we’ll be ready to go. “I’m going to keep controlling what I can control. It’s always been a tough game, that last game before the All-Star Break, ‘” Lue said.

There have been rumors that Love is not comfortable playing with James and other teammates or vice versa. It was so bad fans booed as the Cavs left the floor. While it’s not flawless, it’s an affordable adjustment the team can make for a three and defense player without sacrificing any of their core.
