CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Cleveland Cavaliers are a talented group, the true dominant force in the Eastern Conference.

But they're a collection of individuals trying to walk the fine line of balancing their own off-the-court ventures against unifying to cultivate a championship culture.

There are too many individual brands on this team. Head coach Tyronn Lue stated that when he took over, but it's not just about LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. You'd have to throw J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert in the mix as well. - CLICK HERE to read full story.

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- As the clock continues to tick toward Thursday's 3 p.m. ET trade deadline and with the Cleveland Cavaliers at the center of the chatter -- linked to New Orleans three-point specialist Ryan Anderson and Orlando's Channing Frye, among others -- LeBron James' focus is elsewhere.

"For me, control what you can control and that's not something none of us can control what happens," James said following the first practice since the All-Star break. "The trade deadline happens every year and there's teams that make moves, teams that don't make moves. We're all here to find out what happens and if there's nothing we'll be ready to go. But I'm in the mindset that I'm ready to get these guys for tomorrow and the Bulls game."

The Cavaliers made two separate transformative deals a little more than a year ago, acquiring Timofey Mozgov as well as J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert. It helped push them two wins from an NBA championship. This year could be just as busy, as the Cavs search for another piece to help them close the gap on the top team in the league, the 48-win Golden State Warriors. - CLICK HERE to read full story.
