RELATED: More trouble in paradise? LeBron looked pissed as the Cavs lose to the Nets
With all of the recent reports and signs that Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James could pull another disappearing act on the Cavs, it appears they're starting to drink the Kool-Aid themselves.
Whether it was LeBron and his meeting with Dwyane Wade during a day of rest, or his unfollowing of the Cavs' Twitter account and subsequent backlash or even him admitting to wanting to play with a BFF All-Star cast that included himself, Wade, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony, the cryptic writing on the wall is there for GM David Griffin.
The Cavs like to downplay that — "It's hard enough to win without worrying about a damn Twitter," Lue said — but officials across the organization have been nervously monitoring LeBron's on-court tantrums. "It's time for everyone to stop all the glaring and just compete," Lue said.
The organization is confident James won't leave again, but officials acknowledge it would be at least a slight possibility if Cleveland flames out.
Whether all of James' tactics were a ploy to gain leverage, whether he's really oblivious to the storm he's creating or if he's just likes to watch the world burn, we may never know. Still, the four-time MVP has been gaining general manager-like influence since he rejoined the Cavs in 2015.
This may be just another trick up his sleeve.
