LeBron throwing his team under the bus!? Article is too funny!
LeBron James rips his Cleveland Cavaliers roster: 'We top-heavy as s***'
The Cleveland Cavaliers' Big Three combined for 97 points on Monday, including a triple-double from LeBron James and 49 points from Kyrie Irving. The defending NBA champions still somehow lost to the New Orleans Pelicans sans Anthony Davis.
James played all but four minutes, Irving all but six, and yet the Cavs lost their fifth game in seven tries for the first time since LeBron returned to Northeast Ohio. And the four-time MVP isn't happy about it, not in the slightest.
James spared Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue from much criticism for his heavy minutes load, if only because, "What else are we going to do?" But his teammates didn't escape the wrath, and Cleveland general manager David Griffin fared even worse in LeBron's lengthy plea to reporters for more playmaking help beyond Irving and Kevin Love.
Getting right to the point, James said, "It's been a s***** 2017 so far." And that was only the beginning:
"We're not better than last year, from a personnel standpoint … we're a top-heavy team. I just hope that we're not satisfied as an organization," James said of winning the franchise's first-ever NBA championship, according to the Akron Beacon Journal's Jason Lloyd. "I just hope we not satisfied. How hard it was to do that s***. I just hope we're not satisfied."
James added following the 124-122 loss in New Orleans, via ESPN.com's Dave McMenamin: "It's like when you don't have bodies. It's tough. The f***ing grind of the regular season. We're a top-heavy team. We have a top-heavy team. We top-heavy as s***. It's me, [Irving], [Love]. It's top-heavy."

lol at Lebrons whining. Seriously, the team has the highest salary in the league and just traded for Kyle Korver. They are loaded with more talent than any team in the league other than the Warriors.

He's not asking to add a star player. Cavs lost Delly, Mo Williams, and Mozgov (JR is injured till April) and added Korver.
He's asking for backup PG.
At least he's not texting and begging another superstar to join him in the offseason.

They will have no chance of beating Warriors in Finals with Melo.

It's really not that shocking. The Cavs haven't been playing well for a few weeks now.
