LeBron James Reportedly Cursed at Cavaliers Executives in 'Heated Meeting

Serious discord has reportedly surfaced between LeBron James and members of the Cleveland Cavaliers' front office in recent weeks.
According to The Athletic's Jason Lloyd, "James cursed toward at least two team executives" during the late January team meeting in which some players questioned the legitimacy of Kevin Love's illness.
Lloyd noted the Cavaliers "have been noticeably pivoting away from James' recommendations" since the offseason. According to Lloyd, James wanted them to bring Kyrie Irving to training camp, but they instead placated the point guard's trade request by shipping him to the Boston Celtics.
Citing a source, Lloyd reported the Cavaliers completed the deal "without consulting James."
On top of that, Lloyd wrote James has "no relationship" with owner Dan Gilbert or general manager Koby Altman. Gilbert did not renew the contract of former GM David Griffin following the 2016-17 season.
Since then, turmoil has engulfed the organization from top to bottom, with Gilbert reportedly seizing control of basketball operations.
Bleacher Report's Ken Berger previously reported Gilbert is "firmly in charge of basketball decisions once again," while Altman has been stuck in purgatory without a defined role.
"Whereas Griffin would consult with James and keep him informed of major roster decisions, that is no longer happening," Lloyd wrote. "James doesn't trust this front office, and there is no communication now between management and star player."
"The word is out that Dan is running things," a rival executive told Berger. "Frankly, that's where he's happiest and the role he's most comfortable in."
James won't waive his no-trade clause before Thursday's deadline and reportedly intends to "see [the] year through in Cleveland," according to Yahoo Sports' Shams Charania.
For now, all indications suggest a second divorce may be in play this summer.
Gilbert going to run Lebron out of town twice.
^^ Really wish we don't get that inevitable 100+ page "Welcome to SA, King James" thread..
It is as if Lebron knows exactly where he is going to be playing next season. And it's sure as Harden/CP3-- not Popovich, much less Leonard-- are the ones who have already whispered sweet somethings in his ear....
Shocking. They never liked each other but they used each other to get a le. Now that the ride is over, they have no reason to hide their distain.
If LeBron wanted to be with Cavs long term, he and his buddy, who is the agent for half the roster, wouldn’t have leveraged LeBron to give the scrub roster above market value so they’d be untradeable. Buyer beware on LeBron. He aims to take over any franchise he plays for.
RIP Knicks franchise
He just became available if you agree to take Noah’s contract.
