New Cavs, same leader
The last time the Cavs were here, they were fresh off a trade that brought Delonte West, Wally Szczerbiak, Ben Wallace, and Joe Smith to Cleveland. James said the team has made big improvements since then.
“We’re a much better team than the first couple weeks after the trade,” he said. “We’ve been more restrained lately. If one guy breaks down we’ve been helping each other. We knew it was going to take a little while, but we’re happy we’re playing our best basketball of the season now.”
Despite the new additions, LeBron still knows his role.

“I’m the leader of this team,” said James. “If that means carrying this team, then that’s what it is.”
