Cavs starters couldn't survive a half together, team loses 96-91 to Wizards Author: Joe Vardon Publication: Cleveland.com
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Cavs got the band back together for all of about 16 minutes this preseason.
That's approximately how long all five starters from Cleveland's 2016 NBA championship team were in uniform together for a game, thanks to J.R. Smith's signing of a four-year, $57 million deal Saturday.
It was supposed to be coach Tyronn Lue's first and only chance to use the Cavs' main players as a true dress rehearsal for the upcoming season. Instead, it turned into a 96-91 loss to the Washington Wizards at Ohio State's Schottenstein Center. – CLICK HERE to read full story.

This excerpt, the second in a series, describes the tense time while Cavs owner Dan Gilbert waits to learn whether LeBron will choose to return to Cleveland or go elsewhere.
Dan Gilbert was worried.
The man who started a mortgage company called Quicken Loans hates to wait. And he hates to feel that everything is not in control.
But it can be argued that Gilbert had been waiting for four years for a chance to bring LeBron James back to Cleveland, four years to “make this right,” as the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers characterized his relationship with LeBron between 2010 and 2014. – CLICK HERE to read full story.
