Cleveland Cavaliers' Early Trade Rumors: Who Will Be LeBron's Two-Man?

Cleveland Cavaliers' star LeBron James, in so many words, (actually five repeated over and over) made it no secret that he would like to see the Cavs make some moves.                                                                                             

In his post game interview following a tough series against the Boston Celtics, LeBron said, "We need to get better" repeatedly. He made reference to the many teams that performed well this year following big moves.

LBJ noticed the transformation of the Celtics, Lakers, Magic, Hornets, and a few others. He made it known to anyone listening he wants to be included on next year’s list of drastically improved teams.                                                                                                      

The Cavs, who in my opinion, outplayed the Celtics took them to seven games. But they found out the hard way how important the regular season and home court in the playoffs can be. They lost a few hard fought battles in Boston and couldn't pull off one needed road win.

While the Cavs handily beat the Celtics at home in most of their games both regular and post-season, the Celtics’ regular season accomplishments gave them home court, which proved to essential to winning the series.

The Garden's history, and great fans gave the Celtics just enough umph to pull off a couple of nailbiters to send the Celtics on to the next round and the Cavs packing.
