INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue isn't offering much when it comes to his plans for Dwyane Wade.
When asked whether Wade would start -- something he has done in all but 11 games of his exceptional 14-year career -- Lue only said that there was a plan in place.

It’s a testament to that talent that Derrick Rose – three-time All-Star and former MVP – has somehow escaped all the attention those bona fides would normally accompany. He might have flown under the media’s radar through the first week of Camp, but he’s been opening the eyes of teammates and coaches in a serious way in every session. - CLICK HERE to read full story.
