The Cleveland Cavaliers know that Lebron James could leave them soon for money, bright lights, and more opportunities in other avenues such as New York City and other places. Many teams are positioning them for a run at James and other free agents in 2010 and that is why Cleveland not making any trades is kind of interesting. Cleveland was trying to make trades for Shaq and Richard Jefferson, but nothing became of it. Now Shaq and Lebron together would had been a very interesting pairing and one that would have been tough to stop. Richard Jefferson was another player that could have helped the Cleveland Cavaliers as well, but a deal could not be worked out.
Lebron James cannot do it all alone and the ownership knows they must keep their superstar happy or he may leave. By not trading for anyone to give King James a helping hand could do more damage than good. James really wants to stay in Cleveland, but if he does not see any movement in management to get him some help why would he want to stay. The Cleveland Cavaliers management should have pulled some kind of trade to help him, but once again they dropped the ball and hopefully for the Cleveland fans it is not a mistake that could cost them King James.
